The \c dmg module contains properties and rules for building Apple Disk Images, which are typically used to distribute applications and installers on macOS. This module is only available on Apple platforms. \QBS enables you to build macOS disk images with custom backgrounds and icon layouts. Most applications on macOS are installed via a \c .dmg file, which is usually customized by using a custom image background and icon layout. Unfortunately, it is challenging to construct such DMG files correctly, because the layout relies on several undocumented proprietary file formats, some of which date back to the Mac OS Classic days, and which are even nested within one another. Most of the existing tools to create DMG files do so by using AppleScript to manipulate the Finder graphically to generate the appropriate icon layout, which is both unstable and incompatible with headless build servers, because the necessary OS services to launch graphical applications may not be running at all. Many projects create the primary \c .DS_Store file manually, and commit the result to their source repository. This binary blob is difficult to inspect and edit, and might not be backwards compatible with older versions of the OS, depending on how it was generated. \QBS takes a different approach. It generates the necessary files programmatically, in an entirely reproducible manner. There are no external dependencies that need to be separately installed nor do any binary blobs need to be committed to your source repository. \section2 Appearance Properties Appearance properties are used to control the contents of the .DS_Store file and its embedded Alias and Bookmark records, that will be generated by \QBS in order to control the appearance of the disk image when mounted in Finder. \section2 License Properties License properties are used to control the content and appearance of the license prompt displayed when a user attempts to mount the resulting disk image via Finder. \section2 Relevant File Tags \target filetags-dmg The file tags determine how the tagged files are handled. \table \header \li Tag \li Auto-tagged File Names \li Since \li Description \row \li \c{"dmg.input"} \li n/a \li 1.9 \li Tagged files are copied into the disk image.

This generally gives the disk image icon a better and more consistent appearance. \defaultvalue \c{false} */ /*! \qmlproperty string dmg::format The format to create the disk image in.
