imageburner's Issues

Confusing text when the ISO is being written onto a flash drive.

When the writing process is active, the text below the "Flash" section says "Ready!" which is very confusing. It signals the user the opposite of what is happening.

Replace the text with some indication of the progress bar as proposed in #40 or remove the text while the process is active.

picks usb drives... and does not show drive size...

It offered and made the default a 500GB external USB drive... I am certain a few people have ruined an external drive with this. I mean at least after 128GB you can pretty safely assume it is not a thumb drive. ;)

I had two thumb drives plugged in... one 16GB and one 32GB. since it did not show the sizes... I was unsure which one to use. its not really very hard to round it to the nearest 4,8,16,32 I'd think...

Send a notification on write complete if the window is not focused

A toast is probably fine while the window is focused, but most of the time I'm going to go do something else while I wait for the image to burn. It would be nice to get a notification in that case

Works but always hangs for a while at 94%

Hi, great work bro. Image burner is now my default app for burning bootable drives.
However, every time I use it, it hangs at 94%, always. This happens every single time I've used it. No exception.

There are times it tells me image burner is not responding. However after clicking wait and waiting for sometime, the job gets done.

It is very confusing at times

Checksum always shows SHA256 regardless of choice

The checksum is always showing SHA256 even if you pick something else from the drop down menu.

Steps:

1. Select an iso file
2. Change the checksum to SHA1 or MD5
3. It shows the same SHA256 hash instead of the hash function you picked

Persistent Storage Support

I would really appreciate if we could create live USB's with persistent storage through Image Burner. I often use live USBs as backups for work (my system is not as stable as I would like it to be).

Add your stripe key to appdata

In the new version of AppCenter Dashboard, we're no longer modifying your appdata before publishing, so you'll need to add your stripe key to appdata.xml to continue to monetize your app in elementary OS 6

For your convenience, your public stripe key is:
<value key="x-appcenter-stripe">pk_live_XB4CwDziwPEKbIGIjc0jPew6</value>

Cannot mount USB Drive after Image burn

After successfully burning an image, the usb drive is no longer mountable. Removing the usb drive and re-inserting, Elementary OS no longer detects the usb drive as being plugged in.

OS: Elementary Loki 0.4.2
Device: Lexar USB Drive 16GB
Test Image: Linux-lite-3.4.iso

switch from `dd` to `udisk`

Add appdata to be translated

Translating appdata.xml file will help people to know about your app in the AppCenter. For example mostly French users won't download the app if it's description is in English, 'cause they will think that the app isn't translated and won't take time to read if its not translated.

No feedback about why disk section is insensitive

There should probably be some label here:

500 Internal server error when downloading after purchase

This issue seems to have resolved itself on the 2nd download attempt, but I thought I'd file a report for posterity.

App not detecting usb drive

Flatpak build

Please, consider supporting Flatpak and publishing Imageburner on Flathub.

Supply a branded icon

You can't use a system icon as your app icon :p

Windows image burning problem

First of all, thx for this making this native app for elementary.
I had a problem trying to burn a Windows image for a friend of mine. But it didn't work as I thought. Than I download "etcher", which is another image burner. When I tried it, I got the message that Windows images needs a different kind of burning process. So, would be great to have this message in your app as well.
Thx anyway, good job. :)

remove about dialog from .desktop file

Can we have a 'contractor' to handle ISO-files on right-click?

Would be nice to write an image on a USB-stick by 'right-click' > 'Open with Imageburner' or 'Write to disk' or something. Is this possible?

ElementaryOS

Good morning! This app is not available in the ElementaryOS App Store... Please bring it to ElementaryOS. Why do we miss it!

Support for DMG images

Would it be possible to support Mac dmg images? The biggest pain I have in linux is that I need a mac computer to burn a mac bootable USB installer

Invalid Desktop file

AppCenter Dashboard ran desktop-file-validate on your project's .desktop file and received the following errors:

repository/data/com.github.artemanufrij.imageburner.desktop: error: value "Image;Burn;Flash;USB" for locale string list key "Keywords" in group "Desktop Entry" does not have a semicolon (';') as trailing character

Cant Install

Hi,
I'm trying to install the Image Burner app on the Elementary Os AppCenter, but when I click install, it says "Waiting For Authentication", but stays there forever. How do I fix this.
Here is a screenshot

Doesn't handle canceling authentication gracefully

I started to flash something, but then canceled the authentication dialog. I got a toast saying something like "null was successfully flashed to null"

Can't detect microsd card

Offers printer as burn target

See attached screenshot.

appdata doesn't report project license

There's no license info in AppCenter. Your appdata.xml file needs a project license tag

Segmentation fault occurs after selecting an ISO image

I've run into this issue today. After selecting any ISO file, the app crashes and closes immediately. Running it through the command line the output is

/dev/sda removable: false; can stop: false /dev/sr0 removable: true; can stop: false /dev/sdb removable: true; can stop: false Segmentation fault

I've tried different USB's and different ISOs. I haven't tried on another machine. Using latest Juno with all updates applied.

I cannot translate 'Write onto removable device'

I cannot translate 'Write onto removable device' into Polish. I don't see it in the .pot file.

Package as Flatpak for elementary OS 6

As you might have heard, AppCenter is going Flatpak! For elementary OS 6, we will not longer be accepting Debian packaging, so your app will need to be updated.

We have documentation on our developer guide for writing your Flatpak manifest here: https://docs.elementary.io/develop/writing-apps/our-first-app/packaging#flatpak-manifest

Also, in case you missed it, elementary OS 6 beta 2 is now available. This is a great time to get your app packaged up as Flatpak and test that everything is working before the final release. AppCenter submission for OS 6 will be open soon, so don't delay :)

Appstream tests fail

AppCenter ran a bunch of tests on your appstream file. These are the results.

Warnings:

Most of these are fixed during the building process, but you should ensure they
are fixed in your code for future releases.

• "id" field should be "com.github.artemanufrij.imageburner"

For more information, see:

• The AppStream Quickstart Guide
• The AppStream Metadata Specification

Build Information

Affects Architecture: amd64
Affects Distribution: juno
Built with the following references:

• refs/tags/1.0.0

Feature: Produce the sha256sum

It would be nice if you could produce the sha256sum of the ISO so that the user can test if the image is valid or not.

Not sure if other hash functions are used "in the wild", but at least this one is the one recommended at: https://elementary.io/docs/installation#verify-your-download

Unable to communicate with elementary repository API

Houston was unable to communicate with elementary's repository, and therefor
unable to publish your files in the testing repository. Please re-run houston,
or contact a Houston developer for help.

If you need help with this issue please stop by the gitter channel.

Affects: 0.1.11 release

Build error

Which is this package?

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:32 (include):
  include could not find load file:

Can't burn some kind of iso file

I was trying to burn the Ubuntu 17.10 ISO file from here:
https://github.com/stockmind/gpd-pocket-ubuntu-respin#step-2-download-your-iso-of-choice
https://gpdpocket.cre.ovh/

The progress will quickly go to 82% and become no response. UNetbootin didn't work, either.
Finally I tried Etcher to burn the file and it worked just fine, so I report this issue as for a record.

Include "etcher" in metadata

It might be advantageous to add "etcher" to a few places in your app metadata since the app serves the same purpose, and the UI is inspired by Etcher. For example, you could add "Inspired by Etcher's UI" or similar to your description, and add "etcher" as a keyword in your .desktop file.

The new progress bar is very uninformative

The new progress bar doesn't give any idea how much of the job is done and doesn't give the user an expected waiting time. Please give a % indicator or at least a bar indicator.
