Unsanity’s Rosyna Keller is working on a haxie in the spirit of MenuFonts and TypeTamer. Unlike FontSight, it will work with Carbon applications.
DropDMG 2.1.1
DropDMG 2.1.1 is out. This is just a little maintenance update, with the following changes:
- Fixed bug where converting a .dmg file created by Disk Copy to .img or .smi caused the .dmg file to remain in use so that it couldn't be deleted, or its volume ejected.
- Adding license agreements to images now works on Panther.
- Fixed open/save dialog prompts to be more in line with the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines.
