Fantastic. |
If this test result is representative, it is fantastic. But is it? I would like to know how the general success/failure rate was with the previous and current KSM versions. I saw two or three people reporting that KSM corrupts the database (apart from those cases where several things went wrong so that nickel would exit almost immediately after starting). Compared to the downloads of the KSM package, this would suggest, that the issue was not very much experienced. But of course, I have no idea how many people who download the package actually install it and keep KSM, or report issues, or how many users use the reader in a way that increases the chanced of this issue occurring.
I guess what I want to say is that I am glad that it works for you now, but that this might be a case of good luck.
I would like to underline that the scenario of the latest test (connecting while nickel is running) is the one that is important for our case. I do not care so much at the moment whether simulating an usb connection is reliable.

I knew that I should have done this from the beginning, but I treated it for the possibility that users can simply do changes to KSM without having to have easy access to the system partition.
Thank you for your tests again! I am curious about your further experiences.
