You know when you want to just write a quick script to speed-up a monotonous task you’re doing, but the developer in you makes you want to turn it into a full-blown application?

This is one of those applications.

It’s just a simple python application that will present a nice, Tkinter-powered UI for hdiutil. Some people may find just calling the utility from the commandline might be a bit more flexible but convenience is always fun. It’s also very easily convertible into a .app bundle for Macs (although the availability of the hdiutil tool is going to be a problem on Windows).
