Files: Add format option to right click menu

Created on 9 Jul 2017  Â·  1Comment  Â·  Source: elementary/files

It would be interesting to have the option “Format” on the menu that appears when you right-click on to of removable units (Pendrives or External HDs), just like how it works on the Windows explorer.
When the option is selected a popup should appear so that the user may inform the name of the partition and the file system (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, EXT4...).

PS: The “Format” option should only be available to removable units or units that are not a part of the OS.

Perhaps this could be provided with a contractor? It would be better done by a specialist program rather than bloat Files.
