MindVision FileStorm 1.9.5

MindVision FileStorm 1.9.5 is a simple and fast way to create great-looking disk images for all your favorite files and software. FileStorm and FileStorm Pro take advantage of the latest advancements in OS X to offer a rich WYSIWYG user interface to create customized disk image files (.dmg files) for delivering software products via the Internet. In addition, the built-in CD burning capabilities allow the developer to seamlessly create CD-ROMs from disk images. The developer has the capability to easily customize the look and feel of their disk images with customized backgrounds, icon placement, and more. The fully visual interface allows the developer to see exactly how their disk image will look in real-time.

Major Features:

1. Create compressed, read-write, and read-only disk image (DMG and IMG) files.
2. Set icon size and alignment for items on disk image.
3. Use custom background images and volume icons for disk images.
4. Burn CDs from disk images.
5. Protect disk images with password authentication.
6. Set language-specific disk image license agrements.
7. Automate the disk image creation and building with AppleScript.

Enhancements:

• This version provides built-in support for:
• • Setting the text size for disk image icons (see the Disk Image Properties, General tab)
  • Hiding files and folders on disk images (see the item's properties)
• FileStorm Preferences now allow setting defaults for image file path, icon path and background image path, so you re-use these settings without having to edit them for each new project.
• The minimum OS check for FileStorm installers now extends through Mac OS X v10.5.
• FileStorm now requires Mac OS X v10.4.3 or greater for encrypting a disk image (with AES-128 encryption) so that it requires a password to mount.
• For compatibility reasons, the MacBinary and BinHex encoding options are disabled when running FileStorm on Intel machines. If you use an Intel machine to open a project that uses these encoding options, FileStorm will set the encoding back to None, and display a message that advises running FileStorm under Rosetta if you need to continue encoding as MacBinary and/or BinHex. (The Encode Format setting is available in the Disk Image Properties, Format tab.)
• Changes were made to address the following issues:
• • Non-admin users were unable to launch FileStorm.
  • GZip formatted disk images were not decompressing as expected on Mac OS X v10.4.
  • Adding a license agreement file to the disk image via AppleScript was failing.
  • Registered versions of FileStorm produced an error when the user tried to manually check for software updates (using "Check Now").
  • When installers included multiple install items, FileStorm failed to retain the Install To paths for all the items.
  • Uninstallers were unable to remove files that were installed after their parent folders.
  • Localizing certain strings would break the functionality of FileStorm installers. Because these problem strings are not needed for localization, they are no longer included in the Localizable.strings file.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.4 or greater
