Just tried it, very nice Smile

Download it, make it executable, then:

Code:
sudo ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage

(for 64bit)

It looks nice, but it seems kind of unnecessary to use javascript/node to create such a tool. It's interesting to see them using the appimage format though.

To me it looks horrible, very Fisher Price like.

I guess it takes the simple logical approach... select source, select destination, Flash

I guess the simplest would be...
right click on an iso, flash to xyz
Where xyz is any USB drive currently detected.

ben@ben-ThinkCentre-M71e:~$ sudo ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage
[sudo] password for ben:
sudo: ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage: command not found
ben@ben-ThinkCentre-M71e:~$

Must be doing something wrong..... :o :o :o

@Jocklad

Did you open a terminal where you saved it, then do the:

Code:
sudo ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage

Yes that did it Wirezfree.

Did not realise that the terminal had to be opened from the home folder location........ Smile

Many thanks.
