Description Morgan Leijström 2016-04-26 09:55:31 CEST
Description of problem: very minor

__Steps to Reproduce:

1. select an image, OK.
  The button to write it becomes enabled (not greyed out)

2. Wanted to see what options are avaialble for formatting so i pressed that button, and in that dialog pressed Regret (translated from swedish)

3. Problem: Now the button to write image is greyed out, despite the image to write is still selected.

Even if i had proceeded to formatted the stick i see no reason to disable writing of a selected image.


__Word
The button in the format dialog to exit it without doing anything is here in swedish named "Ãngra" which literally means "Regret" but is commonly used for "Undo" buttons.
I do not know if it is a translation or original wording issue:
Until i format there is nothing to undo, if i format i can not undo...
Something like "Back" would be more appropriate.


__Flexibility idea
It would be good if the existing actions could be executed separately too:
§ (re)naming the partition ( exist in format dialog )
§ backing up the partition
This tool can then be used for those purposes too

Idea:  interface is transformed into a menu where user can pick the functions individually it will be flexible, comprehensive and clear: 

---------------------------------------------------------------
Target drive [ selection mojo like now ]

[x] back up to image [ select folder and new filename, check available space! ]

[x] format [ dropdown fat16/fat32/ntfs/ext4 ]

[x] write image [ select existing file ]

[x] set name [textfield]

    [ EXECUTE ] selected actions

Note: Format and write are mutually exclusive.
All selected actions are executed in order from top.
---------------------------------------------------------------


In other words:
Selecting write image greys out formatting, and vice versa.
It should also be possible to select neither of them;
for just backing up and/or naming.
Naming as last step so you can have a custom name for the written stick.

Thanks Morgan for your feedback.
A new release using yui instead of GTK is in preparation. Thus, point 1 and 2 will have to be reconsidered with the new release.
Set name can not be used after writing, I think, because the format is not standard.
I don't the correlation between backup and renaming.
But indeed, renaming alone can be great.

Isodumper yui is out in cauldron, release 0.51.
Comment 3 Morgan Leijström 2018-03-20 11:30:54 CET
For comment 0, translated button name in 2) is now correct.

3) is still valid: If i select to format, click abort, the USB stick still shows as selected but i need to select it again anyway before i can do anything at all about it.


The thing i miss most is a way to only rename a stick.



A couple very minor things:

A) When window height is adjusted the reports height is kept the same, but other heights are changed. That is a problem when making window lower as selecting stick is the first item to vanish.  Can it be made so the first thing that go a way is the logo, then then the report, and the most important things remain?

B) The bottom left button "Update" As it is placed under Reports i think it is not easy to understand that it really updates the topmost item...
could it be renamed "Search devices"?  Or moved to right of "Device to operate on"?
