Having come from another system, I am sure that is what makes sense. TBH, that was something I hated. My opinion is that functionality should be there for users to get to without digging terribly far. Context menus are great places for things like that. But "Properties→Format" isn't really intuitive. Formatting a drive isn't a property of it. The filesystem that it currently contains is a property. What *would* be an interesting thing, though, having to do with properties as you mention it, would be to have a "Change..." button next to the filesystem type in the properties dialog, so that you can change the filesystem of media. (Certain filesystems would have to have the Change... button deactivated, such as currently-mounted filesystems like the root filesystem, or be able to play with the system boot-up process and be able to do things like reboot, change the root filesystem to a different one, and then start up normally.) While that would be an interesting option, that would have to be a different bug report, though. -- Should provide Right-Click->Format... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/58205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
