Stange behavior - image not really larger than device

[sambucuself]

Hi!

I am using Ubuntu 12.10 i386

I have a problem with usb-creator-gtk.

It got resolved easily, but is annoying ...

I used usb-creator-gtk to create a bootable USB drive (4GB in size) from and DVD disk image.

Later, I tried to create a bootable 1GB drive from Xubuntu 12.04 iso. (715 MB)

The USB drive is marked as - not enough space on targeted device and the icon stays red even when I switch to Xubuntu image.

The solution I found was to move the DVD image to another directory, and restart usb-creator, so the usb-creator won't find it, that solved the problem.

apt-cache policy usb-creator-gtk
