First off I found that the OS choice menu kept changing. If you
selected it first then you could select any RPi OS but if you select
pi3 first then OS options disappear. I don't meant OS for pi 4 or pi
5 I'd understand that but Bookworm 32 bit lite is removed from the
menu. Why??? Grrr.
So I saw an option to install an OS image you have stored. I tried
that but it doesn't allow you to look anywhere but the C drive for
it, certainly not an unmapped NAS.
Is this me? Or is this tool just a bit pants?

Dunno m8. Never used it. Always burn the image onto the boot device.

AFAIK there is no and will not be a 64b BOOKWORM.
If I'm wrong let me know.

Well it used to be but with the increasing paranoia about security
if you want a headless Pi with a working ssh login it's really
quite difficult 'by hand' whereas Pi Imager makes it fairly
straightforward.

There may be some images available in beta stadium, but this should
not be offered on the official Pi imager.
Agreed but we're not talking beta. "Compatible with: All Pi Models"
yet blocked by Imager.

When OS options disappear after selecting a certain model of Pi
then obviously the OS is not available for this version of Pi.

The imager also gives you the opportunity so set a password prior
to installing since standard passwords are no longer allowed on the
latest versions of RPi OS.

How is this supposed to work?
The OS you run the installer on
simply does not see the NAS if you do not map it first,
so why not map it?
It definitely works on other drives as C since I keep my
downloads on E and use RPi imager from there and sometimes I have
an image on my mapped NAS, which is I.
I don't normally use the imager, I download the OS direct and burn it[Snip]

So your NAS was in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a
disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the
Leopard', and Raspberry Pi Imager didn't find it? - Tsk!

What does it do that a simple "dd" command doesn't?
I *think* from reading noob guides, that it does more than dump the
OS on the card, it also allows a GUI interface to set up
username/password, whether you want a gui desktop or a server,
whether sshd is to be allowed and possibly login credentials for
wifi. etc etc.
In short all the things you do manually anyway when booting a pi
first time. And using raspi-config
What does it do that a simple “dd” command doesn’t?

You forgot both the moat with crocodiles and the boiling oil. :-)
Well, I'm used to PC software that is happy to use a UNC path and I
was surprised and disappointed when Imager doesn't seem to.

You can set up username/password, enable ssh and Wifi credentials. Very useful and time-saving, especially for headless installs. (RPi OS lite)

Did I misunderstand or has this basic config stuff become some kind of
secret sauce? That you can't easily enable sshd for example by just
editing a text file inside the image?
My only remaining Pi runs Ubuntu and I think I configured that via the
serial console but I'm really not sure, it's been a minute.
