KDE Partition Manager

KDE Partition Manager is a utility program to help you manage the disk devices, partitions and file systems on your computer. It allows you to easily create, copy, move, delete, resize without losing data, backup and restore partitions.

KDE Partition Manager supports a large number of file systems, including ext2/3/4, reiserfs, NTFS, FAT16/32, jfs, xfs and more.

It makes use of external programs to get its job done, so you might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file systems.

KDE Partition Manager is also available as a bootable Live CD.

1.0.1
=====

* Fix a bug that made it impossible to activate or deactivate a swap file system.

* Correctly handle linux swap even with newer parted versions.

* Ask for an administrator's password on startup so that non-KDE users can run the application from their launcher.

* Use the "blkid" command as an alternative to "vol_id" if the latter is unavailable.

* Do not crash when using the Oxygen style under KDE SC 4.4.

* Do not crash when the user clicks in the partition widget with newer g++ versions.

* Sort devices by name after scanning.

* Don't disable updates for the partition widget while applying operations. This leads to corrupted graphics unter Qt4.6.

* Work around a LibParted segmentation fault when the Linux Device Mapper is used and /dev/mapper has non-existing entries.

* The above also works around a LibParted problem when the BIOS has a floppy drive configured but none is actually present.

* Set item height in the partition and devices lists to 32 pixel to make them look less condensed.
