![]() The Installer disk was most of the time not visible in Startup disk System Preference.Now only compatible to build macOS High Sierra Install disks. If you want to help with localization, please drop me a line. Because we won the World Cup, eh (just kidding). Added localization again, but these may not be complete, except for French.Made the process to get the full macOS version a lot sturdier.Fixed many glaring issues with the icon naming.Thanks again to Louis Chrétien for fixing this part of the app. Now the improved process will display a lot less notifications. The building disk process was displaying sometimes waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many notifications.Many thanks to Louis Chrétien for fixing this one, probably one of the biggest issues with this version of DiskMaker X! Finder got an error: Can’t set alias \”Install macOS High Sierra:Install macOS High Sierra.app\” to. Many fix for infamous errors, especially The disk could not be created because of an error: An error occured: -10006.Added a README file to warn of issues when running DiskMaker X in macOS Mojave.First release with macOS Mojave support.Resolves some issues when launching the app due to lack of codesigning.Every time DiskMaker X 8.0.2 was launched, it said a new version was available.Updated the minimail USB thumb drive requirement (now 16 GB).Compatible with macOS Catalina Install app.And I’ll always be proud to be a part of the awesome Mac community, as I’ve been for almost 25 years. Nine years later, I am still amazed that what I worked on as a pet project became a piece of software used by hundred of thousands of people all around the world (if you want to know more about the story of DiskMaker X, just watch this). Maybe with a full team helping, DiskMaker X could have been enhanced in other ways, but I’ve always been better working as a lone wolf, so…įinally, I just want to thank everyone who used DiskMaker X, who sent congrat messages and/or donations, and also thank those who helped making it a better product. I may open its source code though, if some people want to lose their time on it. What is now sure is that DiskMaker X won’t become DiskMaker XI. I won’t try to work on a new version of DiskMaker X compatible with macOS Big Sur, and I won’t work on DiskMaker X in the future, except maybe for fixing some glaring issues. ![]() Some people have managed to make better products, and probably other cool tools will come soon. I’ve been working on DiskMaker X for 9 years, it became quite a beast, and… I’m still not a programmer, having no time to learn real coding. Though using the createinstallmedia command works fine from the Terminal, managing to embed it in a meaningful and easy-to-use way seems impossible for me now.īesides, I’ve been working on a lot of other projets in the last years, my own company needs me a lot more, and I feel I went from a fun project for something that seemed to be a life-changer (ok, maybe not that big, but still quite big) tool for many of you, and I’m really, really happy for this.Īnd to be honest, I got a bit tired in the last years to fight the new bugs that Apple introduce with each annual release, and this annual rythm became really daunting. I had a few hopes that thing would look a bit easier for macOS Big Sur, but they sure don’t look better at all. Apple did not make things easy with AppleScript and using external disks with the last release of macOS, and I’ve been unable to fix the bugs that prevent DiskMaker X to create a Catalina disk when already running Catalina (though it works quite well when running on Mojave). ![]() Well, the writing was on the wall for a while. ![]()
