So, the program shows: 1) FAT partions, Ext 4 partition, Whole drive. > I can only choose one item in the list: fat, ext4 or whole drive.

It formats the whole stick into one big Fat-32 partition, which is highly inconsistent. > > ProblemType: Bug > Architecture: amd64 > Date: Tue Nov 17 18:41:18 2009 > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 > NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia > Package: usb-creator-gtk 0.2.12 > PackageArchitecture: all > ProcEnviron: > PATH=(custom, user) > LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > SHELL=/bin/bash > SourcePackage: usb-creator > Uname: Linux 2.6.32-020632rc6-generic x86_64 > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/484252/+subscriptions > -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484252 Title: Format action wipes all partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/484252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
