Description

It would be interesting to have the option “Format” on the menu that appears when you right-click on to of removable units (Pendrives or External HDs), just like how it works on the Windows explorer.
When the option is selected a popup should appear so that the user may inform the name of the partition and the file system (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, EXT4...).

PS: The “Format” option should only be available to removable units or units that are not a part of the OS.
