[Bug 1549603] Re: Please clearly document how users can return usb drive to a storage drive or better yet provide a means to do so

[Doug McMahon]

Just to note; 
It has been mentioned that this is the purview of gnome-disks which is currently unable to handle SDC formatting.
Well maybe or maybe not but at the time of this change to SDC it was obviously known that gnome-disks was deficient. 
So why wasn't that addressed is one way or the other  back in early Dec before or at the latest the  release of SDC 0.3.0 by those who created & or uploaded it?

Also note that windows disk management can't handle this formatting so
it's not a feature considered needed by the general purpose user.

Title:
  Please clearly document how users can return usb drive to a storage
  drive or better yet provide a means to do so

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While sdc now works well it creates partitioning/formatting that the default installed Disks app cannot deal with. This will make it hard for users to return the usb drive to use as a storage device after using to install *buntu.
  Test case:
  Create a boot/install drive with sdc.
  Open Disks app & try to format the drive to a usable storage format or try to delete either of the 2 partitions sdc created.
  What happens : operations fail, see attached screens.

  One method that works requires users to install gparted, dismiss the
  error popups (disconcerting), then figure out they need to create a
  fresh partition table.
