This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
Add option to reformat/clean micro SD card inside phone settings. Various formatting types could be featured while also taking notice that some formatting types may require licences.

EDIT (26/8/15) - This has entered the SailfishOS Roadmap as part of the Jolla Tablet Project, and will of course come to the phone as well.
EDIT: SD cards can be formatted inside Settings since Aurajoki
for now, nothing available for the existing card already formated is readable ! shame !

ortylp ( 2013-12-30 20:43:37 +0300 )editWhat filesystem would it format the card to? And if you answer VFAT, isn't that patented so that Jolla might need to license more stuff?
Pirkka ( 2014-01-01 11:02:29 +0300 )editDefinitely. Then when connecting phone to computer via usb, we need to have access to the card. I just bought 64gb card for my Jolla to put my music on it and now I can't use it/dont' have time to figure out all the details how to.
