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 .tiff
file. 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 AppleShowAllFiles
set 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:

.background
.DS_Store
.Trashes
.VolumeIcon.icns
Convert Iso To Dmg Windows
