Raspberry Pi Imager, a user-friendly tool for creating bootable media for Raspberry Pi devices, has been updated today to version 1.9, a major release that brings a modern interface and new features.
Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9 is the first release of this tool to be ported to the latest and greatest Qt 6 open-source application framework to provide users with a lightly refreshed interface. The Qt 6 port is available throughout all support platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
For Linux users, this is also the first Raspberry Pi Imager release to offer AppImage bundles, allowing users to run the application on virtually any GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything on their personal computers. The AppImage bundles are provided for 64-bit (x86_64) and AArch64 (ARM64) architectures.
Other noteworthy features in Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9 include a new message prompt that appears when there are no storage devices, a new --disable-eject command line option for automatically ejecting the storage media after writing, BCM2712d0 support, and support for vendored dependencies.
The French, Italian, and Simplified Chinese language translations have been updated as well and several issues were addressed in this release, including timeout on systems with a large number of loops, borked localectl on modern Debian/Ubuntu systems, GPT signature test, and reversed fsync check on Linux and macOS.
Check out the release notes on the project’s GitHub page for more details about the changes included in the new Raspberry Pi Imager release, which is available for download as AppImages from the same location, along with the source code and binaries for macOS and Windows systems.
