[Nice to have] - Store downloaded image locally for quicker re-burn #53

Open FMog opened 9 years ago

At the moment each time the Kano Burner application is run it downloads an image from scratch, it would be better if it checked for the latest image locally, if the file doesn't exist it downloads and stores it so that if the burner is run again it doesn't have to go through the whole download process all over again.

See GAT report:


Priority: Usability Kano OS Downloader V2 5/6/2015 9:50 am EST RPi1 Affected items: Windows

ACTUAL RESULTS:- The Kano Burner V2 forces the user to download the OS image each and every time the user wants to run the application.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Ideally you would be able to use the same downloaded image to burn OS again, either more sdcard or the same. However, that is not the case in this version.

OTHER NOTES / ERROR MESSAGES:- While I understand this behavior would avoid the re-use of bad downloads, if the user has limited bandwidth or really slow internet connection then this can become an issue for the user. It would be good to ask if the user wants to burn another sdcard before exiting so the image can be reused. This Way the same behavior can be retained with minimal change as the image can then be deleted after the app is closed. http://bugs8.gatserver.com/uploads/6a59fe8c0c4f009040eeb5aeab273e5e.png http://bugs8.gatserver.com/uploads/4fafd5a8225843e44b646cbe2f4dd8aa.png http://bugs8.gatserver.com/uploads/dbf181c2b8386b55210c26bdde6c83d0.png

Steps to reproduce this issue 1.Open Kano OS Burner V2 2.Accept terms of services 3.Select sdcard p4.roceed with installation.

After you finish, if you want to burn the image again you will be forced to re-download the whole image.
