Hi ,
I'm looking for some feedback on an issue which might not be one: read-only
storage. It appears that since virtually all DAP use micro-sd card we never
ran into this problem but I am porting Rockbox to the Creative ZEN and ZEN
X-Fi which feature a real SD card port and can sense the
Failing to open file(s) for writes seems to be elegant solution but this
will probably trigger error messages as well. Moreover I think it should
trigger error message to give user feedback that card is write protected
(by accident for example).

Gracefully handling read-only media requires at least a thorough review of the
relevant file-writing code paths to ensure failure to write shows a (single)
sensible message to the user
Definitely, user must know exactly what's going on BUT errors must not be
verbose otherwise usability decreases.
I suggest that when introducing such a new behaviour we should carefully
think about other possible behaviours (i.e. SD being removed for some
reason) and related implications,
My Cowon D2 use real SD. I haven't been using them for a long time now but
cannot remember what happens if I move the tab. I would be ready for end-user
test, if no compiling or such things are not requested (wouldn't know how to)
be to prevent opening opening a file for writing for example.
