Describe you'd like

Yes, I understand that keka is an archiver, not a utility for working with disk images, but if there is an opportunity to expand the functionality of creating disk images, then it would be good.

DMG:
As I understood when creating a disk image from a folder .dmg, keka creates it with the HFS+ file system.
It would be convenient if it were possible to create a DMG with HFS+ and APFS file systems (and to have a choice between case-sensitive and case-independent).

P.S.
Perhaps someone will tell you why this functionality is needed in Keka, because with the help of a standard disk utility, you can create .dmg with APFS. Yes, this is true, but the disk utility has one disadvantage - it cannot create a DMG if the folder with files is not on APFS or HFS+ (but for example on exFAT) and then you have to move files to any partition with the native macOS file system. Keka creates DMG without any problems, even if the file folder is located on exFAT.

ISO:
As I understood when creating a disk image from a folder .dmg, keka creates it with the ISO9660 file system.
There has been a UDF file system for a long time and it would be convenient to have a choice between which file system it will be created with when creating an ISO disk image.

Thank you.
