First of all, thx for this making this native app for elementary.
I had a problem trying to burn a Windows image for a friend of mine. But it didn't work as I thought. Than I download "etcher", which is another image burner. When I tried it, I got the message that Windows images needs a different kind of burning process. So, would be great to have this message in your app as well.
Thx anyway, good job. :)

Thought I would pitch in.

Windows ISO files are a complete disaster. They are UDF formatted, meaning not bootable. Which means all the files need to be taken out of the ISO and put on a FAT32 (or NTFS) formatted device.

A simple dd copy works with pretty much all Linux distros. It does not work with Windows.
