Don't even ask. No dialog. No > checkboxes. No buttons. Preserve the user's data. That is not a simple solution. First, it's more coding than the simple solution suggested by @DanDascalescu and others. Second, it will result in: * An unexpected delay on startup. * Surprising error dialogs for the user regarding missing, unreadable or corrupt files (unless the dialogs are re-worked, and then again it's the opposite of a simple solution) * Possible damage to physical media trying to read, and perhaps write, to directories which the user may not want accessed due to partial failure of the filesystem or disk. So no, that is not simple and I reiterate my suggestion to not try to "fix recover & discard" with this bug.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
