Dmg Canvas 3 0 9 – Create Custom Disk Images
This tool will let you create an HFS disk image without having to resort to installing system-wide extensions like FUSE. Usage is pretty simple; you just launch the app, choose a file or folder, then choose a filename for the disk image. Alternatively, you can just drag-and-drop a file or folder onto the app and it will make a disk image from it. Create picture-in-picture effects from multiple videos via a canvas Combine video and images (from files or a camera or both) in a canvas Live-stream video played from a file; Use a recorded audio or video message for a video or voice mail; Essentially, captureStream enables JavaScript to construct and 'inject stuff' into a MediaStream. DMG Canvas helps you manage the content and appearance of disk image files using helpful templates. Choose your files, create your background image using helpful controls, and click Build. Your disk image will appear in Finder exactly as you designed it. Disk images, delivered with style. Simplified design. With DMG Canvas, creating backgrounds. DMG Canvas 3.0.11 - Create custom disk images. DMG Canvas helps you manage the content and appearance of disk image files using helpful templates.

Overview
OSFMount allows you to mount local disk image files (bit-for-bit copies of an entire disk or disk partition) in Windows as a physical disk or a logical drive letter. You can then analyze the disk image file with PassMark OSForensics™ by using the physical disk name (eg. .PhysicalDrive1) or logical drive letter (eg. Z:).
By default, the image files are mounted as read only so that the original image files are not altered.
OSFMount supports mounting disk image files as read/write in 'write cache' mode. This stores all writes to a 'write cache' (or 'delta') file which preserves the integriy of the original disk image file.
OSFMount also supports the creation of RAM disks, basically a disk mounted into RAM. This generally has a large speed benefit over using a hard disk. As such this is useful with applications requiring high speed disk access, such a database applications, games (such as game cache files) and browsers (cache files). A second benefit is security, as the disk contents are not stored on a physical hard disk (but rather in RAM) and on system shutdown the disk contents are not persistent. At the time of writing, we believe this is the fastest RAM drive software available.
OSFMount supports mounting images of CDs in .ISO format , which can be useful when a particular CD is used often and the speed of access is important.

Known issues
#1: On certain Windows systems (mostly Windows server 2016), when using OSFMount, Windows will prevent the OSFMount driver from loading. See the following page for more details, 'Why do I get the error, Error loading OSFMount Driver?'
#2: If you get an Access Denied message during install for the osfmount.sys file, or OSFmount driver is disabled error. Reboot the machine and reinstall. A previous version of the driver was likely still loaded in memory, preventing an update.

RAM Drive Benchmarks
These RAM drive benchmarks were taken on a Intel i7-8700K CPU with 32GB RAM DDR4 PC4-19207 in dual channel mode. RAM disk size was 2GB, formatted with FAT32. Typical speeds with large linear blocks are around 10,000 MBytes/sec. With smaller 4K blocks and random access plus queue depth of 1, speed is still a very respectable 1,500 MByte/sec. Benchmarks were taken with PerformanceTest V9.
System requirements
Win 7 SP1, Win 8, and Win 10
Windows Server 2008, 2012 (Windows Server 2016 has issues)
64bit support (For 32-bit support, please use OSFMount v2)
Users must have administrator privileges.
RAM: 1GB (When mounting large disk images, the more RAM the better)

In order to make use of distutils a setup script must be created. This iscalled setup.py by convention, although it can have any name. It lookssomething like this:
There are more examples in the samples/ directory of the source.
The script is invoked as follows:
This command will create a subdirectory called build with a furthersubdirectory starting with the letters exe. and ending with the typicalidentifier for the platform that distutils uses. This allows for multipleplatforms to be built without conflicts.
On Windows, you can build a simple installer containing all the files cx_Freezeincludes for your application, by running the setup script as:
On Mac OS X, you can use bdist_dmg to build a Mac disk image.
distutils commands¶
cx_Freeze creates four new commands and subclasses four others in order toprovide the ability to both build and install executables. In typical distutilsfashion they can be provided in the setup script, on the command line or ina setup.cfg configuration file. They are described in further detail below.
To specify options in the script, use underscores in the name. For example:
To specify the same options on the command line, use dashes, like this:
Some options also have a short form to use on the command line. These are given in brackets below.
build¶
This command is a standard command which has been modified by cx_Freeze tobuild any executables that are defined. The following options were added tothe standard set of options for the command:
| option name | description |
