ISO images are not shown in the "Source disc image" menu

Binary package hint: usb-creator

On Karmic.

I can't add any iso file to the menu nor dragging it with the mouse nor choosing it through the menu.
If run from the command-line:

streinsacu@roncalle:~$ usb-creator-gtk --ISO=~/Downloads/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso
Usage: usb-creator-gtk [options]

usb-creator-gtk: error: no such option: --ISO
streinsacu@roncalle:~$ usb-creator-gtk --iso=~/Downloads/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso
isoinfo: No such file or directory. Cannot open '~/Downloads/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
isoinfo: No such file or directory. Unable to open ~/Downloads/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso

I can confirm that dragging and dropping does not work (has not been implemented) but you should have no issue browsing and selecting an ISO file by clicking on the "Other..." button.

I am facing THIS exact same problem on Ubuntu 10.10 (updated).

Ubuntu 11.04 I have similiar issues, though maybe linked to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/64383 ?

I am also facing this problem. I cannot even add an image with "Other..." button. No errors, no messages while launched in console.

Does it work if you use the full path for the file instead of prefixing the filename with "~"?
I was able to use the -i option "-i /var/downloads/s-u/ubuntu.com/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso" with version 0.2.23.
