1. Features
-----------
* Very fast writing by using linux system call ``sendfile()`` and large write buffers
* Writing an image to multiple USB sticks at once
* Optional validation after writing
* Adjustable write buffer between 4 KiB and 8 MiB
* Automatic device detection
* Detection and elimination of the following states of a device before writing:
- Mounted
* Writing support for hybrid ISOs by checking the MBR signature
* Shows stats about writing time and overall speed
Planned:
* Deactivation of LVM2 volumes before writing
* Multilanguage support
* Redesign with own dark/light theme
* Distribution package support (DEB, RPM, Arch-Linux PKG)
2. Installation
---------------
* **Linux distribution packages:**
You can download `distribution packages`_ for installation with your package manager.
..
* **pip / pipenv:**
If the distribution's own package manager is not supported yet, the ``USB-Imager`` can alternatively be installed via the Python package manager ``pip``.
.. code:: bash
$ pip install usb-imager
$ pip uninstall usb-imager
or `pipenv`_:
.. code:: bash
$ pipenv install usb-imager
$ pipenv run usb-imager
$ pipenv uninstall usb-imager
3. Usage
--------
Start USB-Imager via the desktop icon or just type ``usb-imager`` in your terminal window.
4. Troubleshooting:
-------------------
On some Linux distributions ``USB-Imager`` cannot be started from the command line or from a desktop icon after installation via ``pip``.
* Suggested solution for command line:
~/.local/bin may not be included in the executable search path due to a `bug`_, you have to manually add the directory to the PATH environment variable by adding it to ~/.profile in this case.
.. code:: bash
$ PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
5. Support
----------
If you want to report a bug or request a feature, you can do so `here`_.
You can also write an email to `Secu-Design®`_.
6. Acknowledgements

Thanks to:
* My loved ones for their almost infinite patience.
