Description Dotan Cohen 2010-01-24 16:48:16 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Please add options to perform common tasks to the context menu of external hard disks (including USB mass storage devices) such as format, set user rights, and umask. Thanks.
Comment 1 Dotan Cohen 2010-01-24 16:54:19 UTC 
An option to change the Volume Name would be welcome as well.
Comment 2 Peter Vollebregt 2010-04-08 22:43:22 UTC 
My main problem is the fact that i cannot set rights, the volume name but mostly for vfat USB sticks that i cannot set a property like "shortname-mixed". The latter causes problems because capitals are changed when switching between windows and linux (the latter being case sensitive).

By the way: most problems and use-cases with this are described already in other bugs:
