SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change resource drive to an external drive in settings
2. Close krita and dismount drive
3. start krita

OBSERVED RESULT
Krita closes with missing databases

EXPECTED RESULT
Krita opens and detects the missing drive and allows the user to select a new drive

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: krita 5.15

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I only noticed because I'm using an external drive as both storage for resources and recording my progress. The drive started to fail while I was working, so I closed krita and tried to open it again only to get a database error. I fixed the drive and everything is working again, but it bothered me that it forced itself to close when other than my external drive, the computer was fine.

I know that a failing drive might be outside the scope. That when you tell krita where the resources go, that is where they go. It seems capable of making the resources on the fly, so why force close when a drive is missing? I'd still like to use the software, even if it's resource drive fails, since the resources/drive can always be replaced. I'd rather not dig around in user folders to rename/remove files just to allow the software to run again.
