Error message when db directory not writeable
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 44 ``` What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create directory 2. Create database in directory and make it readable/writeable 3. Try to update database
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Error message: 'An error occured. This may be a bug that needs to be reported ...'
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? OS X latest version
Please provide any additional information below. The error message is misleading as having been warned that the DB file was read only I didn't think of checking the directory permissions. Perhaps the message should suggest checking permissions?

Account Deleted ``` George Flanagin says: It's not completely "fixed," but databases that may not be written to are flagged as readonly on the opening page. I am a little reluctant to put in a hard fix because of the following situation: Someone notices the database is not writeable, and chmods the appropriate file or directory. The write will then proceed, and we would need to put in a feature to re-evaluate writability. ```
