GNOME Disk Utility 3.25.2 is now available for public testing, and it looks like it brings quite a number of improvements, both under the hood and cosmetically. For example, it offers a more clarified meaning of the encryption and mounting options, and implements an insensitive auto-clear switch for unused loop devices. Moreover, Disks now uses MIME types for disk images, prompts users to stop running jobs when attempting to close the app, automatically disables auto-clear before any operation needing unmount, along with the ability to implicitly auto-clear the handling for the lock and unmount buttons.
