Zero hard drive space warning?

Unread post by petrus » 2017-06-19, 17:49

I just tried to figure out why no download would start, immediate error, only to realize i ran out of hard drive space.

Could there be a separate message for that, instead of just "Failed? Maybe "Ran out of disk space" instead? Thanks!

May be possible, or may be not. Depends on what information is passed to Pale Moon by the OS API it calls.

But I still have to come across a software that tells you that it failed because your disk is full.

Not notify that your disk is full, but that your current download failed, or could not start, because your disk is full!

File saving is off-loaded to the OS. If you drive is full, then all the browser gets back from your OS is that saving of the file failed. No further reason is passed up the chain.
