Well, except for Drag & Drop, it works pretty well out of the box.
1. For a folder, as already said by another person, go to the image
menu, and then choose
Images -> new -> image from folder, then choose the folder and you're
done.
2. For a disk image, put a cd in the tray. I'am doing it while writing.
When you
get it on the left of the disk util window, select it , and do exactly
like first point.
I just made an image pf Pamther's CD. It works, and it mounts on the
desktop
without any problem and everything seems to be in the image. I don't
want to
burn it because I don't have a RW cd here, but there is no apparent
failure
reason.
I agree that:
- It could be improved with Drag & drop;
- Make image from xxx (CD or folder) could be more easily accessible
for
instance in from the icon menu (the only solution is to go to the
images menu.
It took me a while to discover that it can be done by a simple button
click
and not dd if=/dev/disk2s1s9 of=image.dmg, so I guess it could (and it
will)
be improved.
