*Yes,* usb-creator-gtk --version works:

myuserid@MYMACHINE:~$ usb-creator-gtk --version
0.2.22

No, usb-creator-gtk -v does not work

myuserid@MYMACHINE:~$ usb-creator-gtk -v
Usage: usb-creator-gtk [options]

usb-creator-gtk: error: no such option: -v

Same for upper case V

myuserid@MYMACHINE:~$ usb-creator-gtk -V
Usage: usb-creator-gtk [options]

usb-creator-gtk: error: no such option: -V

However, usb-creator-gtk --v does work.

myuserid@MYMACHINE:~$ usb-creator-gtk --v

0.2.22

Maybe just change the doc to show --v instead of -v.

Thank you,
