Format USB - MX tool - does it work properly? [Solved]

[dolphin_oracle]

live-usb-maker doens't care if the device is preformatted or not. especially the dd mode, which just replaces the file system anyway. you could do a dd write onto completed blank media, no filesystem at all.

for the "full featured" writes, live-usb-maker reformats the device anyway.

I suppose there could be some issue with informing the kernel of the change in format on an sd card in a usb adapter. if so, probably wouldn't happen to all users.

Nope..,
reproducable with

Code: Select all

LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 format-usb

It's one of those issues where translated strings get processed,
and processing fails due to unexpacted strings.

Send a fix shortly to github, where
ui->comboBoxDataFormat->currentIndex()
is used instead of
ui->comboBoxDataFormat->currentText()
which provides desired format from a list
QList<QString> format_list = format_list << "vfat" << "ext4" << "exfat" << "ntfs";
...
~~~

that was my next guess!

thanks! that really shouldn't be translated. I'll take care of it.

I use it almost every day, with multiple usbs and for various formats; absolutely no problem here.

Hurray, it works properly! this is probably an error related to the language of the MXlinux System and the Format USB program :-)

I should have handled the combo box choice better. Thanks for the report!!!
