Any advantage over gnome-multiwriter? I've heard even from Martin Wimpress I believe, that Etcher is great for Windows but a pig to package on Linux.

I am not sure if gnome-multiwriter does validate the images after the burn, or if it can write sd cards.

This is exactly what I didn't want - the priority system is already being abused. Please don't touch it :/

I actually did it by accident, while i was playing around phabricator to learn it. I am sorry :(

It's a general statement to the wider audience :P You put it to Low, people who fully abuse it set to critical and high, the old BTS is full of critical security bugs for adding electron apps xD

I haven't had time to nail down the permissions yet but the basic process will be bugs start off In Triage and only the Triage Team can edit things

I use it and it works very well. It doesn't need packaging. You just have to download it , make it executable and it works out of the box. Instructions are on the site.

The benefit is it supports a more extensive set of images as opposed GNOME Multiwriter which just supports ISOs.

Tagged releases are still marched as "beta" will have to wait for a proper release

Once it's out of beta, we will reconsider. Closing as invalid for now.

I am still trying to get this application built, I realized something was wrong with what I put originally.

I have been busy and not able to work on it.

Thank you @joebonrichie for getting this in.

I have just been so busy lately I did not get a chance to work on my inclusion anymore.
