If the "Auto create feature" feature fails due to file permission issues (as long as the feature module directory itself is writeable), it causes several PHP warnings. Features Tools throws its own, more meaningful error, rendering them needless, but they tend to drown it out. (See below.) The PHP warnings should be suppressed. Patch to follow

Hi travis, thanks a lot for your time...
In generel i dont like to hide php error becasue in most of the times they help to detect the error.
We add an check on the page load that add an warnning message before the form submit to let pepole know they dont have write permission, so the message wont be lost.

thanks again.
Yuval.

I can understand that, @perelman.yuval. I would point out, however, that the message before the submit form only alerts the user if they don't have write permission to the directory. It is still possible that they don't have write permission to files or directories within it and therefore would not get the warning beforehand but would get the errors depicted above.
