This is very nice! I do have a comment about the device list:

I'm not sure how others feel about this, but the first column of UUIDs
contains almost no human-usable information (who remembers UUIDs?) but
takes up a huge chunk of the screen real estate. I'd suggest to reorder
the columns to be something like (ID, Size, Path, UUID). This puts more
relevant information in reading-order.
I hope this isn't too much to ask :)
thanks
Holger
