Hi Ken,
I think samples can only be on the system partition, if either
- the SD image has changed (deleted samples partition, extended system partition and change fstab). If you do that, then I expect you know what you're doing = if it breaks you may keep the pieces.
- run from a desktop, which has been setup in such a way that gv.rootprefix (defined on top of samplerbox.py) can remain "".
This would imply to have samplerbox files in /root. I did not think of somebody working like this as I considered this bad practice. I introduced the gv.rootprefix to avoid that.
But anyway: the script needs to know whether it runs on the image (where the samples directory is RO and thus needs remounts) or on a system where it can just save.
And if it erroneously wants to remount a samples subdir on a desktop, the thing fails.
In next release(s) it will have a better of determining "do I run from a distributed SD"
