| Description |
0003396 is supposed to fix a possible lack of any indication what went wrong during startup (e.g. when a config directory cannot be read), but it doesn't give a precise reason why something failed, such as "other unexpected cases" as indicated in code. In such "other unexpected cases", the error message will still be hopelessly useless.
Using errno.h and returning that message in the dialog would be a mostly foolproof way to solve the problem for good. |
