In fact "My Computer" is in Windows system but wasn´t this the way it used to be in pcmanfm? My proposal is to stick with "My Computer". But if you choose different no problem. I just need to understand context to do a proper translation. And in this issue I´ve already understood it. > > I think "tweaks" isn't appropriate word here.

Daniel Forsi already suggested: <i>Commands below may include extra arguments if necessary.</i> "Hint: you can add optional arguments to customize the following commands" I prefer second. But i must say that your choice is better: <i>Commands below may include extra options if necessary.</i> I would stick on this one. > >>>>_Format command: > >>>>To format command or command format? > >>> That is the application command to format some drive (flash card, USB >>> stick, etc.).
