Comment 1 for bug 584074

I went through the installation process again and realized that the reason for my error was not correctly described above. Let me explain here.

By default, the ui for partition edit dialog (as defined by the file gui/qt/partition_edit_dialog.ui) has the combo box for "use as" set to "do not use this partition". This is fine however, it is the format check box that is not behaving right. This is how i think the check box state should be defined:

1) unchecked and disabled when the combo box is set to "do not use this partition"
2) checked and disabled when the combo box is set to any fs type other than the one that it is already formatted as. An addition qlabel below the checkbox should inform the user that the format is required in order to change the fs type.
3) unchecked and enabled when the combo box is set to a fs which matches the fs type currently on the partition.

I looked at the code to to make these changes but unfortunately the code is in python that i do not understand very well. I could have helped with c++.
