I think that's a smart move at least for content and bookmarks
Do you know when this will happen? Is there an upcoming firmware image?
I would like to point out one catch, though:
- on the positive side, moving config databases from /root to /media/flash will improve user experience w.r.t. settings which are not lost over firmware updates.
- on the negative side, I assume that possibly broken config databases won't be overwritten by firmware updates anymore.
May I suggest to
- leave config files in /root (or some subdirectory in the traditional /etc
) a priori
- insert a statement performing a backup of the config files at an early stage of the update procedure (e.g., to /media/flash, or a 'safe' position in /root)
- open a dialog on the GUI upon 'first' start of the new firmware image, prompting the user whether he'd like to 'import' his old settings?
Cheers!
