[solved]"format" option in right click context menu of nautilus

Hi everyone i'm new in the forum and so i'd like to introduce myself!
I tried various distros and then i set on Arch , the best!
i'd like to solve this issue: on other distros as for example fedora 16, using gnome shell, when i insert a usb stick and the icon appears on the desktop, if i right click on it, the option "format" is in the context menu...but i can't set this in arch... where am i wrong? please help!

Ps: i installed gnome-disk-utility because i thought that the option format was related to the program, as for example the "extract" option with file-roller. Anyway nothing changed.  Thanks in advance!

Re: [solved]"format" option in right click context menu of nautilus

Hey, i solved the problem! i found, that what makes avaible the option, format in right clik context menu, in ubuntu for example, is a file located in /usr/lib//usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-gdu.so . That file was not in the same place in arch. I just copied it , and now the option appears. Wathever this is not an elegant solution: is there an alternate way to install that file/library? let me know!
