--- Comment #28 from Peter <p.wibberley at btinternet.com> ---
(In reply to hsnnsnc from comment #27)
> Format feature from file manager (Dolphin) to removable disks (USB, External
> Disk etc.) is the most requested feature.

Can I second this comment?  I acknowledge the comments that formatting is a
destructive process, and should not be easily accessible.  However, I think the
worry for many users is that, unless I 'm very much mistaken, KDE Partition
Manager requires superuser privileges and the worry is that, by mistake, you
are going to do something drastic to the hard drive, rather than the USB stick.
 In contrast, for most users, reformatting a USB stick is no more drastic than
deleting a set of files.

Thanks and regards
