Generate beautiful DMG-images for your OS X applications.
- Oct 30, 2009 I tried replicating that folder (and its corresponding image) in a newly created.dmg (using dmgmaker) but it did not work. While we're at it: anyone found a way to define a fixed window position and size for.dmg disk images (quite useful if a background image is.
- Apr 30, 2015 Note: For resizing and posting or e-mailing many images at once, see: How to Easily Resize Images in Windows. There is another little problem I see a lot: How does one resize and/or crop an image to a specific custom pixel size in order to post it online somewhere, or to send in an e-mail, or whatever?

0.1.x used a different JSON format. This format is still supported butdeprecated, please update your json.
Retina background
Finder can display retina backgrounds if packaged correctly into a .tifffile. appdmg will do this for you automatically if it can find a filewith the same name as the background appended with @2x.
E.g. if the json contains 'background': 'TestBkg.png' then add a filewith the name TestBkg@2x.png into the same folder.

API
The application can also be called from withinanother javascript file, example:

Install Dmg On Windows
You can also pass in the specification directly instead of reading it from a file. basepath should be a path which will be used to resolve other paths in the specification.
OS Support

Currently the only supported os is Mac OS X.
Track the status of this here: https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg/issues/14
Hidden files
By default hidden files will show for users with com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFilesset to TRUE. This can be worked around by moving all hidden files outside the initialwindow size (using 'type': 'position'), this has the side-effect of enabling a scrollbar.
Files to usually move:
Set Window Size In Dmg Images Dias
.background.DS_Store.Trashes.VolumeIcon.icns
Convert Iso To Dmg Windows
Alternatives
- create-dmg, a Bash script
- dmgbuild, a Python version
