Description Bevan Findlay 2025-07-08 08:45:42 UTC

The "Edit Mount Point" dialog has the option "Don't prevent the system from booting if not mountable".  This wording is confusing.  Checkboxes should be stated in the positive wherever possible, i.e. "Allow the system to boot" rather than "Don't prevent" (there are three negations in that sentence, making it very difficult to understand).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Partition Manager
2. Select a partition
3. Right-click, select "Edit Mount Point"

OBSERVED RESULT
"Don't prevent the system from booting if not mountable"

EXPECTED RESULT
"Allow the system to boot if not mountable" or similar (e.g. "Allow the system to continue booting if mount fails")

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Nobara KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The file in Github is:
partitionmanager/po/nn/partitionmanager.po
Line 925:
msgid "Don't prevent the system from booting if not mountable"

I would change it myself, but I don't see it being worth creating a fork just to improve some wording.

"No automatic mount" in the same area could do with the same treatment (i.e. make it enabled by default and worded as "Mount automatically".
