Please, we need this bug to be fixed. I have just lost all the data in
my USB hard disk. When you use a translated version (Im using spanish
one) and you read "erase disk", when you have selected just one
partition, you think it will erase the partition you selected, because:
1st: you selected a partition not a whole disk. 2nd: The translation are
not always the best they can be, and you may think "disk" wasn't
transalated as well as it could be possible.... We need this bug to be
fixed!!

Title:
Format action wipes all partitions
Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I have two partitions on my stick: FAT-32 boot partition and Ext-4 without journal one. So, the program shows: 1) FAT partions, Ext 4 partition, Whole drive.
I can only choose one item in the list: fat, ext4 or whole drive. I suppose the utility only formats selected partition (and leaves other ones alone) or formats the whole drive into Fat-32. But it doesn't. It formats the whole stick into one big Fat-32 partition, which is highly inconsistent.
