Improve Handling When Storage Runs Out

📋 Summary

Improve LaunchBox behavior when a drive runs out of space during imports, media downloads, or file updates.

❗ Problem

If a drive becomes full while LaunchBox is downloading artwork or updating files, users may see an error and be unsure how to recover.

This can be especially confusing for less technical users who later move or clone their library to a larger drive but do not know whether LaunchBox can continue normally.

💡 Proposal

When LaunchBox detects that storage is full, provide clearer recovery options and guidance.

This could include:

• A clear “drive is full” message

• The affected folder or drive path

• A retry option after space is freed

• Guidance to free space or move the library/media folder

• Better handling of incomplete media downloads

🧩 Use Cases

• A user runs out of space while downloading game artwork

• A user moves their LaunchBox setup to a larger drive

• A user wants to retry failed downloads after freeing space

• A less technical user needs clearer instructions on what went wrong

📦 Benefits

• Reduces confusion after storage-related errors

• Helps users recover failed downloads

• Prevents LaunchBox from feeling broken after a full-drive issue

• Improves reliability for large libraries

⚠️ Considerations

LaunchBox should not attempt to resize drives or partitions itself, but it can provide clearer messaging and recovery tools when storage problems occur.
