(Get the code!)
Huh? Unix is not a single-tasking operating system, and it's entirely possible that some other process is creating or appending to files while f-spot is running. While perhaps f-spot should check for disk space up-front and give a warning, it's much more important that it should deal gracefully with ENOSPC if and when it happens, and clean up after itself.
Nowadays, at least in Edgy, you get a pop-up warning on the desktop when you're running low on disk space.
