Description Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2009-02-07 17:16:09 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-AR; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

on partitioner, both the gtk version (OS 11.0) and the new version of the installer, only accept integer numbers to specify a new partition size, on the resize partition option.

Please, allow the user to enter a non int number (ie 0.5) to choose lower/middle values.
IHMO a spinner is not the best component to use here. The scrollbar could scroll in steps of 0.1 or 0.5.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
None. Enhancement request.

Some partitioners are more intuitive, and allow the user to enter human readable values, for instance: entering 50MB, 50M, 10GB; the partitioner will calculate the appropriate size in bytes.

Already done in factory.
