10.4: Create DMGs in Disk Utility via drag and drop
I just tried this and Disk Utility works just as you said it would. Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit of having a "disk image" of a folder? I compared the size of the folder and it's disk image and they are almost identical.

dogboy, thanks for pointing out that Spotlight tip. I keep lots of icons, too, as well as files with really long names that often include the name of the app I made 'em with [because I share them with others or put them on other computers]. I'm gonna stash the icons in a dmg from now on.

If you're done with a project and you've created many versions of parts of the project (or even if there is no duplication) you can make a disk image and later open the image and retrieve something you need without unzipping the whole mess and having to remember to delete the unzipped files. |
