When you delete a directory containing the saved file and try to save again nothing happens

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new directory
Create a drawing and save it to that directory
Make changes and press save (as expected I’m getting a notification that the file is saved)
Delete the directory with that file in it
Press save again.

Result:

Nothing happens visually (the user thinks that the file is saved)
Console throws an error: DOMException: A requested file or directory could not be found at the time an operation was processed.

When you just deleting the file, and save again, the file is being created again… so that’s nice!

Actions

We should probably ask for a file location again when that happens.

Thanks. Also, I said opt-in but the example I gave is opt-out. I’m not sure which one of those is the best default. I don’t care either way, but if you have a strong opinion which is the better default, be sure to go with that.

I have just released v0.16.2 that contains a fix to deal with this. See https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/browser-fs-access/commit/c4ce7f0313f9dde923a2220c798e4d5365cdcf32 for details.
