Created attachment 160209 [details] button The icon used for the new partition table button is confusing, particularly when the drive is fresh and has no existing partition table. The existing icon implies actions like "delete", "backspace", and "undo", which is not what that button does.

Perhaps object-columns.svg, or a simple plus like list_add.svg. Maybe folder-add.svg, though that may be more relevant to partitions than partition tables.
I've discussed this with KDE Visual Design Group. To summarise: * The icon should communicate the destructiveness of the actions. * There isn't really anything better right now, perhaps the best way forward would be to create a new icon based on "tools-media-optical-erase".
