Stop special treatment of 'internet-enabled' disk images
Authored by: asan102 on Feb 18, '04 01:57:29PM

Um, what is an internet-enabled disk image? Is that just an image that auto-mounts, or what?

Internet enabled images will (after download) automatically mount themselves, extract the contents then unmount and delete themselves. As was mentioned, this is annoying if you want to keep the image for later and just copy the files manually.

It auto-mounts, copies the app that's on the image to the same spot on your hard drive (or launches the installer on the image), unmounts, and then throws itself in the trash.

This article on Apple's Developer site explains it in more detail.
