The mini ISOs don't have a .disk/info, nor do they put their configuration in the isolinux directory.

Clean usb-creator log attached.

Deleted the previous log and repeated the actions of clicking "Other", selecting the mini.iso image file, clicking OK and nothing showing up.

I have the same problem too. USB-Creator does not recognize/add to the list of images (Oneiric). Hope you can fix this or someone offer a workaround.

Thanks.

even worse if someone start gtk creator with.
usb-creator-gtk -i mini.iso
then the application does't say that it has selected another image that what was specified.
At least it should output an error message

New: You can make a working USB install drive with the dd cloning method with mini.iso version 13.04. See this link.
