Bug ID: 465954
Summary: Krita fails manual saves silently with no space left
in home directory
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.1.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: fullmon...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
As per title, when there is no space left on krita's home directory partition
all manual saves fails silently, meaning without warning or user-directed
messages. Error is present in the logs but it is impossible to know the saves
failed at all unless the user checks them out themselves.
Autosaves still work, unless the file is not saved in which case the autosave
fails too with a short lived message at the bottom of the window.
It is important to note that it is missing space in the home directory and not
in the saved file directory (if different) that creates this bug.
Main problem here is that the user should be notified of the problem directly,
ideally with a halting popup as the problem is very urgent and requires instant
action, instead of keeping the errors hidden in the log. Failing to do so means
that the user thinks the saves are working as intended when in fact they are
not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create ~600MB empty file, format it as ext4 and mount it
2. Place Krita appimage in mounted file with name "krita"
3. Create "krita.home" directory (to use as home directory)
4. Launch Krita
5. Fill remaining disk space in the krita partition with data
6. Settings -> Configure Krita -> General -> File Handling -> Backup File
Location set to "User Folder"
7. Create a new kra file, add content to make it large enough to not be saved
8. Save the file outside of the mounted directory
9. Edit image, then manually click the save button or hit the save shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
The save fails silently
EXPECTED RESULT
The program should notify the user that the save failed and prompt them to free
space in the home directory's partition
