Description
Problem
- Configuring
now-playing.txtcurrently lives under Settings → Configuration, separate from the media folder picker. - Users who just choose a media folder via "Choose folder..." can miss the extra configuration step, leaving the integration with overlays/widgets incomplete.
- Maintaining two different dialogs for related permissions increases friction and chances of mismatched handles.
Proposal
- Fold the
now-playing.txthandle request into the existing "Choose folder..." flow so users can approve both permissions in one pass. - Default the file location to live alongside the selected media folder (with the option to adjust if needed) to minimize extra prompts.
- If a
now-playing.txthandle already exists, surface it during the folder selection so users can confirm or replace it.
Acceptance Criteria
- Choosing a media folder guides the user through setting up or confirming the
now-playing.txthandle without navigating to Settings. - Returning users who already configured the file are shown the existing handle and can keep or change it within the same flow.
- The combined flow avoids redundant permission prompts and works in supported Chromium-based browsers.
Open Questions
- Should the default location always be inside the chosen media folder, or should the user be encouraged to pick any writable path?
- How should we message users about overwriting an existing
now-playing.txtfile if they move it?
