Is this really necessary since the default implementation will recreate the partition table anyway?

During my use I get the following output:

determine_target_parameters: Info: Target device is '/dev/sde'.

Under what circumstance does WoeUSB allow you to flash an image without repartitioning?

@llamositopia It happened when I used it on Pop OS , and was a huge pain for me until I tried the recommended idea. If it's not helpful, it can always be ignored.
