New subject: [trinity-devel] Formatting removable devices within Trinity

9 May 2013

...
 Sounds like a good idea.  Probably the best way to do
this is to  add
...
 support to the TDE hardware library, then add a Format
button and
associated dialog to both the TDE hardware manager and the  removable
...
 device Properties dialog.  The Format dialog should, at
minimum:
1.) Provide a drop-down list with all supported file systems
2.) Ask at least once before actually executing the format
3.) Allow the user to gain root privileges with tdesudo

This sounds like a good enhancement bug report. :-) 
Seems so odd that such a basic feature is not included. Seems silly 
to have to revert to the command line or gparted to perform such a 
basic function. Traditionally formatting has been a super user 
function, but with removable devices that should be a user 
function. Not to disregard tradition, we probably should ensure no 
Format menu options appear for fixed devices. Or mounted devices. :-
)

I'll write the request.
