Screenshot of not helpful warning
SUMMARY
isoimagewriter displays the pop-up window with a warning (in the attachment).
As a one-off isoimagewriter user I have no idea why this happens and what to do
about it and the pop-up doesn't tell me. This is even worse with non-english
locale because even googling the error message for help isn't effective.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download an archlinux iso image and it's signature
(Downloads/archlinux-2026.02.01-x86_64.iso
Downloads/archlinux-2026.02.01-x86_64.iso.sig)
2. Run isoimagewriter and select archlinux-2026.02.01-x86_64.iso
3. Wait
OBSERVED RESULT
Not actionable warning message displayed
EXPECTED RESULT
Either no warning or warning with steps on how to make sure isoimagewriter can
verify signature.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This also happened to my non-technical father when he was thinking about
switching to Linux and he gave up so I ran dd for him. I've found this
confusing UX being reported on the forums as well.
