Improve handling of ambiguously-sized media

Open fadden opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

I have a 256MB CF card in a USB reader plugged into a Windows 10 system. It takes 30+ seconds for CiderPress to open the volume, during which time it appears to be hung.

The problem is that the CF card or reader is unable to report the size of the card, so CiderPress has to probe for it by reading blocks and seeing which succeed and which fail. Bad blocks take a second or two to return an error, so the whole process takes quite a while.

CiderPress should show some sort of progress dialog with a cancel button while this is going on.
