Description

When creating a new SQLite-based .kexi file, pick non-writable folder. Example ('/' is clearly non-writable):

When you press Next:

The Task

Check write permissions for the file before creation is even requested, before "Next" step is handled. In case of error, display this message:

i18nc("@info", "Could not create database file <filename>%1</filename>. "
      "<note>There is no permission to create this file. "
      "Pick another directory or change permissions so the file can be created.</note>",
      QDir::convertSeparators(dbFileName));

Then, do not move to next page. As you see on the second screenshot, otherwise user is unable to move back to previous page to change the path.
