Nothing too fancy
I was posting about this in the MacNN forums, but I'll drop the note here too.
This little program - which does have a nifty interface, BTW - is just a wrapper around the command-line tool hdiutil. In particular, it does this sequence:
hdiutil create
mount_hfs
(copy your files onto the disk image)
hdiutil eject
hdiutil resize
hdiutil burn
which is also what the Finder does. The only difference is that the program calls
hdiutil burn -noforceclose, which doesn't close the disc.
If I have time I'll work up a (free) applescript studio interface to do the same thing.
Nothing too fancy
Thank you very much: what can be done at the comand line should'n be done at the GUI, expecialy if it does cost money (as it will be rhe case here when the beta will expire).
I respectfully disagree
If something can be done at the command line, I think it's perfectly fine to have a version that works in the GUI, even if it costs money. There will always be a percentage of OS X users (maybe even a majority percentage) who would prefer to stay away from the command line, and it's good that they have options available.
I respectfully disagree
Of course you are wright robg; what I mean is that for those of us that are not allergic to the command line, its a considerable save of money, energy and computer resources to use the built-in resources of Darwin. Maybe most people have big wallets, huge hard drives and unlimited memory, is that so? ;-)
Most annoying
According to the man pages for hdiutil, -noforceclose is actually the default behaviour for hdiutil burn. |
