MTP folders not detected / shown as invalid
Describe the bug An external drive (in this case a mobiles sdcard) connected via MTP is not shown in dupeguru's folder selection window. If the a folder on the MTP mouted drive is input manually to the dupeguru folder selection window, an error message is shown saying the "The folder name is not valid"
To Reproduce
- Open the "add folder to scanning list" window
- Try to browse MTP mounted drive (it will not be shown)
- Add MTP folder location manually to "add folder to scanning list" window address bar
- See error
Expected behavior User allowed to select a folder that is stored on an MTP mounted drive
Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 10
- Version: 1909 Build 18363.900
Additional context No option to select/mount the phone sdcard as "USB mass storage device" so that avenue as a workaround is not possible.
Manual input of folder
Just to say, I experienced this too. Ironically, dupeguru can view MTP folders quite easily from the File > Load Directories screen (to load *.dupegurudirs files)
