Bug ID: 506156
Summary: [Feature/improvement] Making the formatting and the
filesystem changing more obvious on how to proceed
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: sourcew...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is not obvious on how to just change the partition type/format a drive
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on a partition and click on free
2. Right click on a drive and select properties
2. Select the filesystem
3. Click on apply
OBSERVED RESULT
The formatting occurs and the file system gets changed
EXPECTED RESULT
A formatting/file system changing being more obvious with :
1° A visible button at the top informing of the procedure to format/change
filesystem on a drive
2° When a filesystem in properties is greyed out : a message to tell us that
we need to right click on the partition to free/unlock it
Formatting a USB key should be a simple task
If you think about it going into properties to be a step into a formatting task
may look unusual for some of us, also, just greying the filesystem in the
properties without how to ungrey it is not the best communication.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I agree that one should read the documentation on how to use a partition tool,
however many users only use it for the simple task which is formatting a USB
key to be readable on windows systems.
