Yeah ... that occurred to me after I had already gone to bed for what I
thought was a wee kip. You mentioned using NTFS, and that sort of threw me
off. Then, half-asleep, it occurred to me that you meant to format it to
fat32, but using a Linux machine, BEFORE ever using that flash drive or SD
card.
That might work better, I dunno. When I get a new SD card or flash drive, I'll
give that a try myself.

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.
Kate read Linux filesystems? e.g., SD cards in
smartphones, or flash drives to
be used with other computers. Maybe, the unfortunate user is forced by
job or circumstances to take those flash drives or SD cards and use them
on [*SHUDDER of horror*] Windozes or Rotten Apples? In such cases, fat32
is
read
by all of them; ext3 or ext4, not.
'Twould be nice if Linux could handle fat32 sometimes without having to
format
it to a Linux filesystem.

You misunderstood. Format the drives, using linux, TO fat32. They will work
on windows and apple [*SHUDDER of horror*] etc. It's just that linux does a
"clean" format with no empty spaces or oddities.
