1. Make sure 0 bytes of a free space available on the destination SD card
2. Either create a new file or open an existing file
3. Add some information to the opened file
4. Try to save a file

I would expect to see a clear message that there is no disk space available, 
instead I see the message that the file could not be saved and a reason is not 
clear

Jota text editor on Android platform.

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for looking into this, I really believe clear error messages will make 
this great application easier to use.

Thank you.

To make it simple, error messages are simple.

There is a ton of reasons that causes make writing to SDcard fail.
So I won't check which reason causes the error.

BTW. you should buy larger size of SDCARD.

Thanks,

Thank you for the answer.

My phone hardware limits it to SDHC use (32 GB) at the moment and this is the 
one I have. It was full of music files, videos, etc. I copied on the card for 
the trip, I took, with a few megabytes of the free space left and at some point 
Android OS and other applications temporary files occupied all the the rest of 
the free space I left on the card.

It took me a while to figure out what's wrong, as the text file I constantly 
edit are tiny ones, and the error message was ambiguously worded.
I had delete some files to make space for the altered file.

I agree the simplicity is a good thing, at the same time, ambiguity nullifies 
simplicity making it complicated to see the reason for a failure quickly.

Anyway, if nothing is to be done, please consider the issue closed.

Thanks for making otherwise good text editor.

Regards,
Alex
