Unformatted Removable Disk #206

Open duerig opened 9 years ago

duerig commented 9 years ago

When an unformatted removable disk is inserted and the copy-to-disk button is placed, no proper error message is displayed. The preparing-to-transfer popup is displayed for a while, then something times out and there is no further information.

The best solution would be to offer to format the disk for the user. A second-best option would be to explicitly detect this and tell the user that the transfer failed and that it failed because the disk needs formatted.

I don't have anything to test with, but I'll make a patch for you to try. I do believe formatting the disk is a bit dangerous and should be made separately from the application.

https://github.com/adongy/spreads/tree/patch-2 Please try this version, it should report an error. I'm not too familiar with the web UI so maybe it won't work.
