SUMMARY I just discovered that KPM can re-format partitions without deleting them and creating anew. Surprisingly, it's hidden in the “Properties” dialog, which I assumed would be read-only. It would be nice if right-clicking a partition displayed a prominent “Format…” action, similarly to how it's done in GParted. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch KPM from a USB stick's context menu in Dolphin. 2. Right-click the partition. OBSERVED RESULT No obvious way to format the partition, either to change the FS type or to empty the drive, in either the context menu or the toolbar. EXPECTED RESULT A “Format…” action is presented, as advertised by Dolphin.

If a user selects a different file system, but then checks this option, the file system won't change after the operation, which can be unexpected.
