Bulk convert DMGs to 'Internet enabled' format
I find that "Internet Enabled" disk images are very annoying! Now that they are here, whenever I download a disk image, I run a script right away to convert it back to a regular disk image before I open it. (See A script to shrink and compress disk images easily, which has the side-effect of stripping the so-called "Internet Enabled" feature from disk images). This auto-uncompressing behaviour makes it impossible to archive or backup the image, or copy it to many other machines in it's nice (compressed or not) single-file format. In my opinion this auto-uncompressing behaviour is a complete step in the wrong direction as far as the user-experience goes. Apple would have done better to rewite the dmg driver alogether, to make accessing dmg files just like opening a folders--no mounting of a "drive" container, just open and display the contents as if it were a read-only folder already.
