Im comparing now the 2 different approaches:ġ)the compression with diskcopys 'readonly/compressed' setting (natively in 9)Ģ)the uncompressed. Now it may be better 'COMPRESSION WISE' to use stuffit under X to compress this.

This file will be immediately mountable under X with just one click requiring no additional 3rd party software img file im pretty sure?Īnd just hit save and let disk copy do its thing! Selecting read/write will allow u to continue to add files + grow the size of the. 'Estimating size requirement' (this bypasses having to guestimate how much space u will need) The best way to use disk copy to create these img files is to (such as with the that is posted currently)

sea.bin files are not natively supported by mac os xĪnd in some cases (as just proved in my experience today) smi.bin files the technote i referenced says that. Of needing extra utilities such as stuffit etc simply by using So for getting setup files + utilities to new userrs coming to our site (doesnt need to be stuffed or binary encoded because its already encapsulated + compressed!!!!!!!!)īecause of the native support in BOTH X + 9 smi (with compression) seems to be the best absolute format to use maybe this is related? maybe not?īut shrinkwrap is basically a ui for doing the exact same thing.īut the whole reason for this thread is to restate that, smi files under mac os 9īut i just noticed that under diskcopy file menu, (in mac os 9) theres an option for file->execute diskScript.

This is why i was trying hard to discover how to create these.

Mac OS X is also implemented with support for opening and using these IMG files, though newer disk image file formats are now widely used by associated applications programmed for Mac platforms.

iso extension, and doing this will allow a user to use the IMG file with an image mounting program developed for Microsoft Windows-based systems. Similar to ISO files, an IMG file can sometimes be changed to an ISO file by simply replacing the. These IMG files are also stored with encoding specifications and implemented with file compression standards proprietary to Apple. These Macintosh disk image files are saved in the IMG format and are affixed with the. Mac OS 9 and older versions are integrated with support for using and mounting these Macintosh disk image files.

These Macintosh disk image files can also be used as virtual optical drives like DVD and CD drives. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they’re used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs exactly as they’re stored in the disk image.Ī Macintosh disk image file is a mirror copy of the Mac file system and can be mounted on a computer as a virtual hard disk drive. The data is compressed, so the disk image is smaller than the original data.Ĭhoose this if you want to use the disk image with a third-party application. (This format replaces sparse disk image.)Ĭhoose this If you don’t need to add more files to the disk image.Ĭhoose this if you don’t need to add more files to the image and want to conserve space. For example, if you create a 100 MB sparse bundle disk image, its maximum size is 100 MB. The disk image is just large enough to hold the files in it and expands to its maximum size as you add files to it. This is why apple dropped stuffit from mac os x tiger because they wanted people to use disk images + not use stuffit anymoreĬhoose this if you want to continue adding files to the disk image after it’s created.Ĭhoose this if you want to continue adding files to the image and want to conserve space. dmg file frm X is using a compatible file system (mac os standard or extended) (denoted above as ***)īut this would be the best and most safe way to transfer files NATIVELY between X + 9 i will take a look and post a link to the other thread!īut i think it will work (mounting. So i beleive it is possible to go backwards as well providing you have updated your disk copy version to this I had made some post about a rare version of disk copy that was able to mount. Im not so sure this is possible to go backwards from. This encapsulates + retains all proper file meta data such as resource forks icons associations etc img file from mac os 9 to a mac os x disk img on mac os 9 using disk copy and then transfering the. Transfering files between x + 9 can be done MOST SAFELY + MOST EFFECTIVELYīy using this method.
