This bug is not fixed or it reappeared. I'm running 0.2.38.2 and none of
the "workorounds" worked.

Title:
  adding image via commandline does not work correctly

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  Specifying -i or --iso via commandline and passing a iso filename does
  not work if the executable bit is not set on the file.

  This occurs because 'os.path.exists' fails if the executable bit is
  not set on the file. The following fixes that:
