Re: KFloppy

Some of people here didn't understand me I am not saying that floppy drive isn't
important in fact I keep it around in case I need it.I am just saying that it doesn't need a separate front-end for its purpose end that the same thing can be done in a more conformable way for example option to format floppy can appear in front of user when hi puts unformated floppy in drive and rest of the time be an entry in properties.

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible without constantly polling the floppy drive, which is probably not a good idea. Still, you could have a "Format" context menu action or similar.

My thinking is that it appears when he try to access the unformatted floppy not before because it is reasonable to suspect that he first needs to format it to use it.
