Cannot write covers (thx Thierry Lejealle)

[bflorat]

Under windows, in some cases (probably when using special directories /desktop.ini), one cannot write covers to the disk

Technical: check  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4939819 Fix: don't use the java.io.File.canWrite() method, catch IOException instead

Note that this workaround should become useless from upcoming 1.5.1 as we removed every canWrite() checks.

Update

We finally reproduced the issue. The problem doesn't come from the use of desktop.ini but from the read only attribute. Note 100% sure but apparently, the Properties / Read only option on a directory from Windows Explorer doesn't apply Read-only attribute on the directory but on its files only. (Successfully tested) workaround : open a console (Start-> execute -> "cmd") and type

attrib -r <the directory>

Note that this workaround should become useless from upcoming 1.5.1 as we removed every canWrite() checks.

Applied against 1.5 and trunk
