Description Harald Sitter 2017-10-11 08:40:55 UTC

after having manually clicked [wipe usb disk] and waited for that to complete my usb disk is now completely empty. I click [write] and a dialog pops up telling me the following

"All existing data on the selected device will be lost.
Are you sure you wish to proceed?
[Clear Disk and Write Image][Cancel]"

this is freaking me out to no end. the app literally just wiped the disk, why would it say there is data to be lost? or a disk to be cleared? is it talking about the wrong disk now? what is going on here?

It should not say data is getting lost when there is no data (especially not after having used the builtin wipe).
