Rob's got the right idea on this.

Yes! Except in a .zip; .dmgs are slow and heavy.

I'm thinking present a sheet with all the fields you have presently,  
but with good defaults filled in.

I had thought for a while that it'd make sense to keep around the  
enclosures and have SparkleCaster keep track of them, but now, I can't  
think of a case in which that'd be useful, so probably don't bother.

You're doing fantastic work, Adam; keep it up!
