Enable/Disable NAND from drive list #538

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Currently the NAND is displayed in the drive list. This is great for those who 
may wish to access/copy files from the NAND. However, for those of us not using 
NAND emulation, this can be a bit dangerous.

It'd be good if there were an "Explorer" tab setting to "View NAND in Drive 
List" (on/off), so to better protect from inadvertent edits.

Using version 241.

I can add this as others might think of it usefull as well but in the way the 
nand is mounted it is not dangerous at all at the moment since it is read only. 
You can not do any harm by having it in read only mode.

Additionally I plan to add a setting to enable write access for those who need 
it. This setting would have a huge warning/disclaimer prompt and would be reset 
on every start of wiixplorer to off. What do you think of that?

I think it's great that you're adding NAND access for those who need it. It was 
wise to make it read-only for now.

A disclaimer is a good idea for write access, though I wonder if it needs to be 
reset on each boot. Perhaps there could be a third setting that's auto-selected 
when "write" is enabled (just after the disclaimer):

x Read NAND
x Write NAND
x Disable Write NAND on next boot

Of course, if such settings were absent from the settings file, the default 
should be no writing.

Do you think this might be a good alternative? Then the default behavior is 
safe, but leaves it open for anyone (I'm assuming with emulated NAND?) who 
wishes to auto-mount both read/write.
