system support tools

Recent label change on exfat partition (without formatting)
SUMMARY
***
Out of the blue, I really can't say what has changed, one day it was working I
was able to change the label of a new Seagate Expansion which came installed
with a 200MB fat32 EFI partition and the remaining space allocated to an exfat
partition. Another day when I launched KDE Partition Manager I was prompted
with the Missing File System Support Packages prompt, however exfatprogs was
still installed.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Cannot give you steps to reproduce, and unfortunately I cannot seem to find any
configuration or settings or memory dump which can give me an indication of
where the application is looking for the files. The best I can do is the
attached screenshots with as much detail as it seems is available to me.
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE Partition Manager is aware that it does not find the installed exfatprogs
file system support tools.
PROBLEM FINDING
Tried to find some configuration file or settings for the support tools.
Reinstalled exfatprogs
Tried to Rescan Support
Tried to edit the table in the File System Support window, specifically the
Support Tools tab
Looked at open files and memory maps in systemmonitor for the running
partitionmanager process
Read through the documentation, awesome for having docs, it is rather
redundant, does not elaborate on what you get at face value.
All that is left is to start poking in the dark in hopes I hit something so
hopefully you can find something else.
Hmmm that reminds me, I haven't looked at the source yet.... now where would
you find that?
EXPECTED RESULT
Some indication that it is actually looking for something when I press Rescan
Support
Some indication somewhere of what it is looking for and where it expects to
find it
Some way to configure where to find what it is looking for
None of the above it should just know where to find what it is looking for (but
this does not help to debug or problem solve)
