[Bug 978691] Re: usb-creator ignores selected source disk image

[Anders Jakobsson]

Another comment here is that with the default window size, and people
don't change the window size of an application like this very often, the
list boxes are one line high so it's not obvious that it lists previous
images in the first place. They should be enlarged to show at least two
lines.

Also there is no apparent way to clear the lists.

Title:
  usb-creator ignores selected source disk image

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  usb-creator ignores your selected .iso image, and defaults to auto-
  selecting the first entry in the 'source disk image' window.

  Steps to recreate:

  1) run 'usb-creator-gtk'
  2) click 'Other...' button to select an alternative 'source disk image (.iso) or CD'
  3) navigate to your chosen .iso file in the file browser.
  4) click 'Open' in the file browser.
  5) observe that
  5a) the file browser window closes
  5b) your chosen .iso has been added to the list of available 'source disk images'
  5c) your chosen .iso file is *not* the selected image.

  The problem here is that if you don't notice that the image you
  explicitly specified has *not* been selected as expected, usb-creator
  will attempt to copy the wrong disk image to your destination disk.

  The workaround is obvious, but only once you notice the problem -
  click to select your already-selected chosen source disk image before
  clicking 'Make Startup Disk'.
