Description Rafael 2010-11-01 19:42:32 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

Partitionmanager 1.0.3
The label of a fat32 partition is not editable because the text field to type the label seems to be broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open partitionmanager.
2. Select a disk with some fat32 partition.
3. Right click on a fat32 partition and select properties.
4. Click on the text field to input a label.
5. The cursor seems to be ready to type a new label, but when I type, nothing happens.

Actual Results:  
5. The cursor seems to be ready to type a new label, but when I type, nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
When I type the label with the keyboard, the text should be captured in the text box. And the label should be set or changed.

Also happens with ext4 partitions.

Thank for using KDE Partition Manager and for taking the time to report this issue.

KDE Partition Manager 1.0.3 does not support setting or changing the file system label for FAT16 and FAT32 file systems (also see View -> File System Support in the application), so the behaviour you describe is expected.

I cannot reproduce this for ext4 file systems. Can you please check again? I'm closing this issue for now, but feel free to reopen if there actually is a problem with ext4 file systems.

Note that you cannot change the label as long as the file system is mounted.

I can confirm this problem still exists on KDE Partition 22.12.3!
On Debian 12 (unstable repository).
