ohhh yeah this isn't too fun. I have a project where I share images with scientists so they can quickly download a custom image, customize the internet and localisation settings with the imager, and then pop that SD card in to their device, and their tool starts working.
The new imager doesn't let me do that at all :/
BTW does anyone know, if, even if you have to use 1.9.6, if it is possible to set some custom variables for a newly flashed SD card? I want my scientists to be able to configure a schedule for their headless device, without having to log in. I describe the problem more here:
