#MAKE A DMG FILE WINDOWS 8.1#
They can be deleted (I do that from a Windows 8.1 machine) without troubles. If you check, say a Memory Stick, you will see a ton of invisible items in the Memory Stick main folder (two plist files, etc.). Not mandatory, since the folder will open in the main screen (the one that holds the (Finder) MenuBar. DS_Store: this file is meant to set the folder location and size (and other stuff ?). Eventually, if this does not works at once, we can clear that dmg file and restart 'til we really got it right. In mi step by step, I set the leading dot (to make the folder invisible) at the end of the process for that reason: the process is done. The other factoid is: make sure you use 72dpi images for the background! I accidentally used 300dpi ones and when Lion came out, the images look pretty small unnaturally.ħ2 dpi images are different than 144 (or higher) images ! (unlike some says in this forum sometimes ago).ħ2 dpi images: you are correct too for the standard Finder folder background images too. Now, close the dmg window (yes, the folder disappears, but no background image) and re)open it to see the nice image you now have in the dmg folder background. Save the script (for the next time) using, for example, this name: Set background folder to invisible.scpt. Set name of item "background" of front window to ".background"īe sure that you have your dmg folder open as the front window / you do not have a windoid open (this can be checked for you, but if you read this, you are capable of doing that),
#Add a dot in front of the "background" folder Run the AppleScript Editor (whatever its name is) and copy / paste the code below: So to do that, we do need an AppleScript. To make it invisible, you have to add a leading dot (.) to its name, but Yosemite does not allows you to do that (what a strange idea). In the dmg, create a folder and name it background.Ĭopy your background.png image into that background folder. Now, the hard part: define (draw) your image background and save it using "background.png as its name.
#MAKE A DMG FILE HOW TO#
You want to do the same, but you do not know how to place a background image there ?
#MAKE A DMG FILE SOFTWARE#
On OS X, distributing our software using a dmg is pretty easy and welcomed (mst of the time).
