Extra info

About Pybricks Code:
v3.4.0 (Pybricks Code v2.4.0)

I just did the same on beta.pybricks.com with no problem.
But the files there are of course different.

I did this both on code and beta in Google Chrome Version 123.0.6312.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

No indication of an error in developers console.
But 1 issue shown, no idea if it has any importance.

Might this be a time-out due to too many files?

After starting chrome://device-log in which I did not see anything related (no idea what to look for).
Tried another time. Now the backup works.
Hard to test now I think....

Although......

It takes time before I as user see anything happening after clicking the backup button.

Now tried to click the button twice (ample time for that) and the here reported error pops-up again.

So user-error induced by late feedback to the button click.

Similar to click on the run button on a larger program and clicking again
Results in

GATT Error Unknown.

Issue can be closed, but maybe there could be some feedback on the button click?

I don't think so. This is likely a race condition that we've been lucky to avoid so far. We use the Redux Sagas library to handle events in Pybricks Code. If there are no queued events, things are usually handled synchronously. But occasionally, something can be blocking the queue and handling an action can get deferred. Certain actions, like the file save dialog and the Blueooth dialog require direct user interaction to trigger them for security reasons. So when these get deferred, they don't work as you have seen.

I'm not really sure what we can do at this point without some major re-architecting of Pybricks Code.

But fortunately, the problem seems to happen quite rarely.

In that case . . . Seems acceptable then. As user I do not do this on a daily basis.
Thanks David.
