Description of bug

The whole program crashes when trying to launch an istance or update when the disk is full.
Not a huge issue but has left me confused on why I couldn't start any istance, an error message would be apreciated.

Steps to reproduce

  • have the multiMC folder on an almost full disk (in my case it was more or less 20Mb of free space)
  • Open the program and try launching an istance or try updating

Suspected cause

No response

This issue is unique

  • I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my bug.

Multimc is preventing you to do stupid things. Trying to write data on an (almost) full disk, is stupid. Free up data or get a new drive. Even a temporary storage would do it for now. If you would play with the instance, you would surely corrupt a world you play, you wouldnt want that.

I agree that it should at least give an error message before closing so the user knows what the issue is.

Sure its great that it stops you from doing it. I'm only saying that catching the issue and displaying a popup message instead of closing the application would be a much better User experience. People often don't realize they have a full drive, so if you don't tell them that's the reason why the application closed they might simply assume it's broken.
