MacUSB Files

macUSB v2.2 adds support for recognizing Windows and Linux .iso files and for creating bootable USB media for both systems.

ADDED: LINUX

• Added Linux .iso recognition with detected distribution name, version, architecture, and distro icon preview in analysis.
• Added ARM architecture labeling for recognized Linux sources.
• Added a dedicated process for creating bootable Linux USB media, using a dd write path with post-write SHA-256 verification.

ADDED: WINDOWS

• Added Windows installer .iso recognition for sources from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 onward, including version and architecture detection.
• Added ARM architecture labeling for recognized Windows sources.
• Added a dedicated process for creating bootable Windows USB media (supported for Windows 8 and newer, and Windows Server 2012 and newer), including MBR + FAT32 target formatting, automatic .wim splitting into .swm parts via wimlib, and write verification.
• Added conditional checks for wimlib when the selected Windows installer requires splitting the .wim file.

ADDED: OTHER

• Added USB eject action on the summary screen.
• Added basic Touch Bar support showing app branding elements.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved handling of USB devices that macOS cannot mount; when a macOS source is recognized, analysis now clearly informs the user and guides them to use Disk Utility.
• Added an automatic 20-second analysis timeout with a clear unrecognized-system status when detection cannot identify the selected source.
• The app window no longer recenters automatically on launch.
• Analysis now shows the selected source file name instead of the full file path.
• Minor UI polish across the flow.
