Description Laurent de Trogoff 2006-02-08 18:30:41 UTC 
After copying a partition, it could be great to have the possibility to set it
active (and hide the other one of course :))

euhm, what do you mean exactly?
Comment 2 Laurent de Trogoff 2006-02-08 20:58:44 UTC 
e.g. : you copy/past a bootable partition (win$$$). And want to boot the cpied partition : there is no way to do this with gparted, but opening a shell and run parted and set boot flag on. 
It could be great with a right-click mouse :-p .... as it was with PM from pqi :-[
Comment 3 Plors (Bart H) 2006-02-08 23:08:27 UTC 
ah ok..
I guess we needed to support setting flags anyway.

I'll create a new bug for this as a reminder.
Comment 4 Plors (Bart H) 2006-02-08 23:13:39 UTC 
ah nevermind, changing the summary should be sufficient.

Hi folks,

I've just committed 'flag management' to CVS, i'd appreciate it if you could test it and send me your feedback.

If it's inconvenient to get it from CVS i can provide a tarball, just ask ;)
Comment 8 Laurent de Trogoff 2006-03-31 13:37:45 UTC 
trying with FC5 on external usb box. It seems to work. But this bloody distro auto-mount all the partitions  i have on the usb boxjust when i click the flag :(
...
Comment 9 Plors (Bart H) 2006-03-31 13:41:19 UTC 
hmmmz, we should disable automount as long as gparted is active, see also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220
