10.4: Compact sparse disk images via contextual menu
Hmm.. Doesn't work with encrypted sparse disk images.
This isn't terribly bothersome to me. Another (more cumbersome) solution, is to create a new encrypted sparse disk image and just copy everything from the old image to the new image. Disk is cheap nowadays, so I wouldn't bother with the time to do this unless I really had to. ;-) ---

It works on my encrypted sparseimage. Perhaps you have to have the password set in your keychain before it will work on an encrypted image.

You may be correct - I do not have my encrypted, sparse image passkeys in Keychain. Seems more secure to me. ;-)
I guess I could add my passphrase to Keychain, compress my image, then remove my passphrase. Sounds about the same about of work as my solution. ;-) ---

Works on my encrypted Sparse Images. (and I do not add the password to keychain).

$ hdiutil compact myencsparse.dmg
Initializing... At this point I'm prompted for my passphrase Finishing... hdiutil: compact failed - Function not implemented Running 10.4.9, PPC. I renamed my image from ".sparseimage" to ".dmg" after I had originally created it. I tried changing it back and running the compact again, but still no dice. --- |
