DMG disk image size trouble

not unlike myself

I created a disk image. It's size 5 GB. I now need that image to be 8 GB. Ideas? Surely there must be a 'expand disk image size' option somewhere!

2 things:



1)if you have the scratch space, why not just create a new one



2) As a suggestion, in the future, use sparsediskimages and set the size to like 30 gigs. Then, it will grow from around 32 megs to whatever you need. You will need to run a script to compact it if you delete but even in you never shrink it, it will be better than DMG. See: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...&query=compact



If you do not know what a sparseimage is, PM me or search google
