On attempting to install to a previously used USB drive via Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed), a GPT partition warning appeared. Issue is: the Ventoy install script does not offer a user-friendly method to continue through this situation. This appears to be a warning generated from within parted:
Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/sdc appears to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 57730768 blocks) or continue with the current setting?
Once this warning appears, no obvious means to continue/make a choice are offered to the user.
Upon keyboard mashing and hitting enter, and a slight pause, it becomes obvious it is in fact asking for an internal parted command.
Expected behaviour:
the correct option is presented to the user to rectify the disk formatting situation, which allows the user to proceed to install Ventoy once corrected.
