Support for CDR files #836

Closed amiltonjr closed 5 years ago

Hi, is Etcher for MAC going to support another image files besides ISO? It would be great having support for CDR and DMG as well.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out!

According to this thread:

ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO but Mac OS X ISO images often have the extension .CDR.

This means renaming the .cdr file to .iso should just work. I'll gladly whitelist .cdr in the list of supported extensions so you can pick it directly.

DMG is a bit more involved, mainly since its not straightforward to deal with DMGs outside macOS, but lets keep the issue around until we figure out how to move forward.

Etcher now supports DMG files :-D

Just for reference, support for DMG/UDIF was initially added in https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/pull/1257

(There's a bit more discussion about the CDR format in https://github.com/resin-io-modules/etcher-image-stream/pull/42 )

Let's close this for now. We will consider this in the future.
