How can I add the format option when right clicking in the icon of a disk in the Launcher? Ubuntu 12.04 has this option. How can I make this in Ubuntu 12.10?

Restart your computer
Finally open nautilus and right click any empty space in the directory that you want to format

It seems doesn't work easily under Trusty (and new one?) because it uses gnome-format that is no more in default repository, as we can saw at page : https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/gnome-format/
I am looking for an other tools in http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/utils/ but nothing seems replace it.
