i'm really a big fan of DMG Canvas, and i'm surprised the developer is
offering it as donationware, but unfortunately i can't use it... there
seems to be a bug that will automatically set off "internet enabled"
option (even if it's unchecked) when the .DMG is downloaded from my
server, and there's no point in designing a .DMG window, etc., if it's
just going to skip that step and download the files to the user's
downloads folder.
i'm actually curious to know if that's a problem with my server (or
computer) or if everyone else has the same experience with this
software.
