[opensource-dev] [Linux] Viewer crash with no meaningful error message when cache dir. is missing

[Marc Adored]

Maybe its crashing because it cant "create" the missing cache folder
because that mount point doesn't even exist not really because it cant
find it. It automatically creates it if it doesnt exist normally.
Either way a error message stating what happened would be very helpful
:P
