And you're right, I completely overlooked the three dot "⁝" menu in the upper right corner, under which the "Launch storage editor" item is hidden. I guess I'll have to use a monitor with a lower resolution next time ;). Using this tool, allocating partitions was easy (although, I like the previous concept of "determine everything and then do everything" more than immediately performing actions on individual partitions). Placing the "Launch storage editor" menu in the hidden menu at the top right seems unfortunate and unintuitive to me - IMO, it would be much better to place it directly as one of the menus in the "How would you like to install?" paragraph. Or at least mention the editing option under the "Share disk with other operating system" item - with/instead of the current "Not enough free space on the selected disks"... -- Thanks Franta Hanzlík -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
