Direct portable media writing support for other USB devices #49

Closed hopparz closed 7 years ago

hopparz commented 7 years ago

When I starting the Fedora Media Writer, and asking for download, the app doesn't detects what kind of portable devices I have available already. Only capable to see USB HDD or SSDs, but not SD cards, pendrives, nor DVD disks. The immediate writing option under the panel only available with USB HDDs or SSDs only.

It should see pendrives and SD drives. Can you please state which drives/SD card readers do you have by using lsusb?

hopparz commented 7 years ago

Here is my lsusb output. This machine is an Dell Latitude 4310i, with integrated SD card reader. I usually keep big SD cards in the front drive (if there is any size limitation routine, as I guessed - so tried multiple ones 4-32 gigs), but until the file handler sees, and mounts drives - this app only able to see HDDs and SSDs on my machine directly hooked up on my usb. The card reader is fully integrated, so I am unable to remove it, but possibly also hooked up to USB.

There's no size limitation in the tool. Just the information provided by UDisks - it looks for USB and portable drives. I'll see what I can do about this, thank you for the information.

This should be fixed with 4.0.8. Please reopen this issue if your problem persists.
