Update button on modifying existing card doesn't do anything

[dannystaple]

If I insert a card that was previously prepared with PiBakery, it asks if I wish to modify the configuration.

If I then click yes, change some blocks in every boot (first boot has gone since it has been booted), then click "Update" - nothing happens, the new block XML is not written.

Are you on Windows or Mac?

If you use the keyboard shortcut CTRL - SHIFT - I on Windows or CMD - SHIFT - I on Mac, you'll get another window opening. Would you be able to select the Console tab at the top, and then upload a screenshot of that window here?

Screenshot here (along with the relevant folder on the microsd)

Sorry - I ingeniously hid the full error messages behind the explorer screen - trying that again...

Basically PiBakery can't write to the SD card.

It may seem obvious, but the most likely cause for this is the write protect switch on the SD card being bumped into the set position:

Can you make sure that the write protect switch is in the unprotected state, and then if you're able to make a new folder on the SD card just using Windows Explorer?

Argg - I feel pretty daft now - I had done exactly that at some point, and din't think to check it. It's not the same issue, but perhaps a suggestion when it can't write to check that would be pretty awesome.

Don't worry - I think every Raspberry Pi user has done that at some point, myself included (many times).

In the next release I'll include a message that suggests they check the write protect switch.

This thread should not be closed.

There is still a bug with the way your code is searching for the drive letters.

My SD card is labeled as E: drive, however PiBakery continues to search on drive D:
