in this use case I don't think that the user should even see the word FAT or EXT or whatever and the program should try to use the same file system and label if possible instead of a fixed "Format" item in the context menu, expanding the use "Open with..." menu item that is already present for disks, would allow more flexibility, so that some users could configure it to run gparted (or run fsck or fdisk for other use cases) while others would use simpler programs I think that it's better to keep actions in the context menu, a "Format" button could be added in a "Tools" page in the Properties, which would allow to add a minimal user interface in the property window itself (eg. to change the label or to show a progress bar), but I don't think it would be easy to find it for inesperienced users and would make disks different from files (for which the properties pages doesn't allow to open them, unless we add "Play" for music, "Print" for documents, and so on) -- Daniele Forsi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
