We've agreed that a device chooser is a Post-Beta feature; we'll target handling this as an error case as a must-have requirement for the beta.

@nabla-c0d3 Any thoughts on this approach / are you potentially interested in helping with it?

I agree the issues are closely related, if we implemented either of the ideas in #468, this would seem to give us a straightforward way to change the behavior as...

Moreover the `test-against-latest-api` job keeps timing out currently as a result: https://circleci.com/gh/freedomofpress/securedrop-sdk/473?utm_campaign=vcs-integration-link&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github-build-link Bump timeout `-timeout 20m` to 60m as an interim step?

I think this is a great question to think through during the pilot as we get feedback from real users interacting with the client. My intuition is that, as journalists...

One wild idea: Instead of using `cp -r`, why not invoke Nautilus, which will a) perform this check for us prior to a copy operation, b) handle other issues (like...

As far as I can tell, it would only expose them to specific dialogs for resolving problems with the copy operation, e.g.: 

> a) Would that dialog appear in the Client or the External VM? In the external VM. I agree we'd give up some flexibility on the presentation, but we might...

I'd like to get a basic sanity check on this idea from @emkll before rabbit-holing too much on the UX :)

Marking for discussion, worth revisiting in a future tech meeting.
