Bug Description
Hi!
Thx for this great tool!
As an additional feature it would be really nice to support compressed images in the tool directly.
Usually images are not full and thus a 8GB images gets down to 1GB even with the simplest compression.
e.g:
foo.img.gz and automatically decompress it on write to stick.
Some other formats for future releases may also include (though even *.gz alone would be fine!)
foo.img.bz2
foo.img.xz (for lzma)
ps.: sorry for filing a bug for this. i didn't find any "feature suggestion" button anywhere here on the page.
thx!

Adding to wishlist. While this app was originally written for the Jaunty netbook release, it appears to have grown in popularity for a lot of other projects. Hopefully someone can spare some time to add these features in the near future.
