{Spam?} making an ISO image

[Glenn / Lenny]

Hi Milton,
With that command, it brings up the program, and I can select the USB drive 
in question, but the only options are other..., which seems to be for adding 
more file types, and the other option is to close.
I don't find an option for file name to write to, or a browse to where I 
want to put it.
Thanks.
Glenn

Hi,

Maybe this will be of help:
in Ubuntu 16.04 I type in a terminal after the flash drive is inserted:
usb-creator-gtk
