Jota triggers 'Low Disk Space' warning, yet there's enough free space

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installing Jota on a Samsung i5700 
2. Opening, viewing several text files
3. 'Low Disk Space' appears, while there's over 10MB free on internal memory

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
with 10 MB of free internal mem, no Low Disk warning should appear. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version, on Android 2.1 (SamdroidMod, a special Android ROM for Samsung 
i5700)

Please provide any additional information below.
I had this problem around 6 months ago, had to return to factory settings to 
clear the data partition. Uninstalling individual apps wasn't removing the 
warning. I had to do the same this time.

On my Motorola Cliq (Android 2.1) it reports a low disk space icon in the 
notification bar if there is less than 20MB of space left in internal memory. 
The solution for me is to free up more than 20MB space by removing apps, then 
poweroff/poweron the device. I don't know about your case, but for me there is 
no known fix or work around. It is that way from from the factory.

Well, in my phone the 'real' low disk warning doesn't appear until I hit the 5 
(or maybe 3) megabytes of free space.
I believe this is a recurrent problem on several Android versions, which is 
usually triggered by Gmail Contacts Storage if you have a lot of contacts (over 
2000). But my contact list is pretty small, around 100. And the app that 
triggered this problem in my case was Jota.

It seems that the partition Jota uses as cache cannot be cleared so easily. 
Uninstalling a lot of apps will not clear it, and Root explorer was too 
confusing to use (I couldn't find the folder I was supposed to clear).

Is there a way to make Jota use the SD card as cache? Other text reading apps 
do that, but they are all inferior in quality and features.

Hi,

Jota normally uses internal storage only 2.4MB.
- application 2.3MB
- data 75KB
- except when file saving is failed, the file will be saved into internal 
storage.
  It will be removed when the file recovered.

One point is this. Jota don't use internal storage as a cache.

You should open Settings-Application and check which application uses internal 
storage. And "Clear-data" or uninstall it.

Even if Jota uses much of storage, "uninstall" clears all of application 
storages.
