[Bug, low priority] Wrong error message if file write to SD-Card fails

[aetx]

This is a bug in the sense that a confusing (or rather the wrong) error message is shown.

I am using Total Commander 3.42 on Android 11 (Xiaomi).

When copying some files from internal storage to the SD-Card, the error message that the SD-Card is write protected appears. It then asks to allow access to the root directory in the following dialog. On my Android 11 phone this is not possible "due to security considerations". Total Commander then fails with a write error.

This only occurs with some files, which have fancy names such as

Code: Select all

D-low 🇬🇧 ｜ GRAND BEATBOX BATTLE 2021： WORLD LEAGUE ｜ Judge Showcase [AqL4RcC7a1Y].webm

Other files with, e.g., ASCII only names can be copied without a problem.

So my assumption is that the write failed, because the filename is invalid on the SD-Card's filesystem, but gets misinterpreted as missing write access by Total Commander.

If it is possible to detect the difference, a better error message is helpful. This took me some time to find the problem.

Many thanks for such a great tool nonetheless

You are right, this error should only be shown on older Android versions.
