Public bug reported:
When initiating a write to disk, the confirmation dialog asks me if I'm
"sure I want to write the image to the device". That's not actionable
information.
Which device? At this point I want a confirmation that I selected the
correct device, but that's not explicit information in the message box.
How can I be "sure" of something that is only implied?
It's even more important to get this right considering that the tool
itself gladly offers 1 TB large drives as destination drives, with no
apparent sanity check in place whatsoever.
