'Twould be nice if Linux could handle fat32 sometimes without having to format

Hi all!
I just found that after my latest updates to 14.0.10 I lost the
"Delete" funtionality in konqueror. When I do a right click on at file
on a FAT32 usb thumbdrive, then the context menu pops up with the
"Delete" entry greyed out. Pressing "<DEL>"-key consequently
des not
delete the file nor move it to the thrashcan. Pressing
"<shift>+<DEL>"
deletes the file.
Does somebody else see this, too?

I just upgraded a couple days ago, and I don't have that problem.
Everything works the same as before.
The problem, however, may reside in the flash drive itself, and the fat32
filesystem. I've had problems with both flash drives and SD cards:
sometimes they mount and behave normally, sometimes not. Do you have the
delete function when you are using Konqueror with non-fat drives, such as
your hard drives?
You might dig up your konquerorrc file, where the delete function can be
set or unset. You might be able to override other changes by changing
that file.

I need to use fat32 because I still have some itsinks clients (thankfully
that's fading)
Stock formatted usb and SD cards do exhibit problems like that in general.
That's why I always format them with linux before use. I never have a
problem after that.
NTFS, when I have to use that crap, sometimes will. HFS doesn't give me
much of a problem, less than NTFS more than fat32.
Try clean formatting the drives before use and make use you chown to your
user just in case.
