Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator-gtk
Ubuntu 10.10
usb-creator-gtk 0.2.26
Use command line:
usb-creator-gtk -i <invalid-
And all appears well, but what actually occurs is it burns whatever iso it can find in ~/Downloads.
This has bitten me quite a bit in a couple of scenarios, including executing it in the wrong directory with a relative path for the iso.
Expected Beharior: non-readable --iso pathname should cause the program to exit
I think this is a serious problem.
I think the source of the issue is that Backend.add_image() silently returns if the pathname is not valid.
