GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 627792
Message on start: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive"
Last modified: 2020-04-24 15:18:53 UTC
Each time that starts editor a "No hay disco en la unidad. Inserte un disco en la unidad \Device\Harddisk1\DR1" appears. One for each file loaded on editor. I'm working with big proyects so that issue itself makes me desperate. How can i solve that?
Are the files you are trying to load on an external hard drive? Does this happen when loading a project or when opening the files one at a time?
Happens when open a single file both on opening directly the file from explorer, and when using open file dialog. I'm not using the "project" feature. The files are on C: Drive , but the message also appears when using a external drive. If you need me to make any further testing or revision please let me kwow. I'm using the program on Windows 7 ... maybe that could be an important detail. Raul
any news for this report?
I've heard this from more users, it happens when the filebrowser in the left pane fills it's popup with possible drive letters. No clue yet how to avoid this.

Have the same problem with Windows 7 - does not happen with Vista/XP
Bug still exists with Bluefish 2.23 on Windows 7. When opening a file from Windows Explorer I have to click twice on one of the three buttons ("Cancel"/"Try again"/"Continue") to start Bluefish. Very annoying! Please fix this. Bluefish is such a good editor!

Bug stills exist with Bluefish 2.24 on Windows 8. You don't need to open a file using the Windows Explorer. The error message also is shown when starting bluefish. Bluefish asks for a drive letter that is not in use, but was for a removable hard disk. There is some type of bluefish memory that even survives uninstalls and new installs.

It's hard to believe this error still exists after 3 fucking years. When are you guys going to fix it???
I think I've figured out the culprit...but first, <rant>I find this a bit ridiculous as a Quality Assurance Analyst that this bug has been open for 3 years. I would choose another lesser editor over this application just because of this kind of bug. The user experience is bad right out of the gate. Not to sound insulting, because clearly bluefish has a large user following for a reason, but as an open source project that promotes itself as a "powerful editor targeted towards programmers and webdevelopers", this kind of user experience doesn't reflect that at all. How much productivity would be lost (think about the arthritis caused by this), if every web developer had to click three times every time they opened their primary html editor.</rant> Cause: I installed 2.2.4 on my wife's Windows 7 64 bit laptop and saw the error immediately after opening bluefish. I decided to see if the issue happened on my Windows 7 32 bit desktop, it didn't. Then I thought, what could this "\Device\Harddisk1\DR1" be referring to if there is only one hard drive in the laptop. That's when it hit me, the multi-card reader. I tried to disable it in the bios however there was no option, so I disabled it in the Device Manager and bingo, no more error upon launching bluefish. So now that we know how to repeat the issue and we have a cause, someone please save bluefish from this ugly bug and terrible user experience!!! I would do it myself if I knew how to write C code effectively.
your rant is completely true. However, we have very little windows developers. This causes windows specific bugs to remain unsolved for a long time. I'm afraid that this will only improve if more developers join that are interested in improving the windows port of Bluefish. Thanks for finding what causes the issue. I have the feeling that the error is related to the code that loads an icon for each drive (but I don't know for sure since I don't have any windows machine).
I found this as a workaround: http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/usb-drive-or-flash-problems-how-to-cleanup-and-remove-old-usb-storage-drivers.145884/#post-875300 After cleaning up, you must reboot for the changes to take effect.
I have the same problem. Windows XP with a full install. I tried cleaning up the old storage drivers and it didn't change anything.
Hi, if this ticket is still valid in a recent version of Bluefish, then please report this under https://sourceforge.net/p/bluefish/tickets/ as GNOME Bugzilla is not used anymore by the Bluefish developers - thanks a lot!
