[Bug 484252] Re: Format action wipes all partitions

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package usb-creator - 0.2.39

---------------
usb-creator (0.2.39) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Clean up various pyflakes warnings.
  * Only pass unicode=True to gettext.install in Python 2.
  * Open subprocesses with universal_newlines=True when expecting to read
    text from them.  On Python 2, this only enables \r\n conversion and the
    like, but on Python 3 this also causes subprocess-related file objects
    to read str rather than bytes.
  * Use str() rather than unicode() in Python 3.
  * Remove __pycache__ directories on clean.
  * Use 'isinstance(obj, collections.Callable)' instead of 'callable(obj)'
    in Python 3.
  * Change 'except StandardError' to 'except Exception'; StandardError was
    removed in Python 3.
  * Use Python 3 name for Queue if available.
  * Handle a few cases of builtins being changed to return iterators in
    Python 3.
  * Just use dict.items() rather than bothering with Python 2/3
    compatibility for dict.iteritems().

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Only clear the selected partition on the disk, not the entire disk
    (LP: #484252). Thanks Dmitrijs Ledkovs!
