Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
usb-creator should attempt to identify the devices as best as possible. Nautilus uses generic disk icons which usb-creator should use as well. Displaying the current volume label (if there is one, even if unmounted) would be helpful and increase safety and intuitiveness of the project. Formatting needs to be intuitive and safe. No confirmation is bad, but it not the root of the issue (See Bug #443330 for the confirmation/
We need to identify the:
-DEVICE NAME(Same as lsusb name)
-An icon of a USB Key, USB Drive, SD Card or CF Card (see image attached)
-Current volume label (is this possible when unmounted)
-Device size
-Current mount point (if mounted)
Note: If there is a warning (yellow exclamation mark symbol) it should be shown beside the icon of the device, not replace it.
