Problem

When I inserted a drive not provisioned for the workstation, I receive no error-message or other feedback within the UI to tell me that what I've done will not work. I do however, get a flood of "Something is happening, but what?" toast messages—which adds to the confusion.

What I expected

From Allie's #666 PR...

Conditions

  • Drive was encrypted for my Mac's Time Machine
  • Drive was a removable SSD USB drive, but not a thumb-drive
  • I suspect the Mac encryption or Mac formatting (APFS or HFS+) on a thumb drive to be a more common issue, than encryption to other FOSS standards or non-proprietary linux drive formats, as journalists appear to largely be Mac dominant users.

Changed labeling and text above, to make this a bug—as I found what I'd thought I'd seen in #666. Much as I'd like to change how errors are presented, uniformly, across the Export and Print experiences... the intended functionality from the 666 PR would be awesome for Beta. :D

I tested this today and when I insert a non-luks encrypted thumb drive I saw:

I will have to look into APFS and HFS+ to test the bug you found.
