macOS - Permissions issues during use

Open GuiltyDoggy opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Selecting an image to download and proceeding, a dialog pops up during the download phase that states that the disk is unreadable. Selecting "Ignore" will continue with process. Unreadable

During the write phase, another dialog asks for permission to make changes to the disk. In the background, FMW changes status to "Failed". Authenticating will continue the write process. Write Failed

Although the process can finish successfully, it may not be clear to beginners what they need to do when these pop up. Especially the first dialog, where the default option is to Eject the disk.

The first dialog is something we probably won't be able to do anything about, it pops up because you inserted an USB disk with Fedora on it. The other one is expected, but showing a failure is confusing and most likely a bug I will investigate.
