Q: HELP encrypted file is too small; can't get files out of it
HELP! HELP! I recently created a password protected file [.dmg]. As I was adding files to it, suddenly realized that my .dmg did not have enough space for what I wanted to use it for. Because I didn't know how to edit the .dmg to add more space, I thought that maybe I could create a new .dmg with plenty of space and transfer what I have over to that so I could add what I wanted to and couldn't in my present .dmg. But now I discovered that I cannot drag and drop those files. Also, I cannot even do some corrections in files within the present .dmg and be able to save the corrections. And I don't want to trash my first .dmg or I will lose all my work. What can I do???? This is REALLY important right now.

Hi designer_02,
That is correct; OS X will treat a disk image like an external volume or hard drive, so items are copied instead of moved.
Cheers
