Previous post: "A problem is that the .iso versions offered for download in the liveusb-creator GUI always seem to lag behind."

more testing: I just tested on Yoga Pro 2 running native resolution and Widows 8.1 OS and the liveusb-creator is postage stamp size on the screen.

1-) detect screen resolution and properly display GUI 2-) run in compatability mode (run as administrator) 3-) run as liveusb-creator --reset-mbr by default (this can be done in linux by editing the icon command) 4-)Fix the Download button on the GUI to work and be up to date.

Resent after being rejected by list as not suscribed -since corrected Previous post: "A problem is that the .iso versions offered for download in the liveusb-creator GUI always seem to lag behind." more testing: I just tested on Yoga Pro 2 running native resolution and Widows 8.1 OS and the liveusb-creator is postage stamp size on the screen. It needs to be run in compatability mode as an administrator to work. Most of the functions appear to work but using the update button I got Soas f17 x86_64 and did not download in the 25 minutes I tested it. I tested on a second USB that was written previously with fedora live with dd. It was not writable. the terminal command liveusb-creator --reset-mbr did not run in Windows terminal.(It worked in linux gparted with create new partition table and format fat32 label LIVE boot flag.) I could then use the windows 8.1 liveusb-creator to write an existing soas.iso downloaded earlier in windows firefox. In short there are a number of things that need to fixed in the windows version of liveusb.creator before offering it on the fedora download options. 1-) detect screen resolution and properly display GUI 2-) run in compatability mode (run as administrator) 3-) run as liveusb-creator --reset-mbr by default (this can be done in linux by editing the icon command) 4-)Fix the Download button on the GUI to work and be up to date.
