Bug Description
I cancelled a download of a USB image, part way through. When I
redownloaded it, Firefox renamed it to image(2).img, instead of
image.img. I selected this file in ImageWriter, along with the USB
key I wanted to write to, but ImageWriter would hang (not freeze,
just not do anything), with no activity or message shown in the
progress bar, after clicking the 'OK' button on the 'Don't pull out
you're USB key if you click OK' dialog.
if the files ren and thy use it then can the image be use
