Access to scard ?
I use osmand, kurviger and others. They all give access to the memory card which osmin does not. Please add this feature so that I can put the cards on the sd-card and also that I can use the other cards located on it.
By default osmin stores the maps in the sdcard if there is one in the device. You can check the storage in the setting page.
I suppose the root cause of your issue is Android 11. See the following link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j3zgmm/managing_files_in_the_androiddata_folder_on/
I think you could always plug the phone to a computer and share the sdcard to manage the content. For my case I done that and I updated the directory permissions of the folder Android/data/io.github.janbar.osmin to be readable/writeable for all.
I removed the storage to the SDCARD from the version 1.7. So no longer brain to know where the maps are stored and how to manage them.
I would also like to see a config file to set folders under Unix/Linux

I found Osmin not too long ago through IzzyOnFDroid and think it's a very nice navigation app. My phone's fairly old, and has limited internal memory, so I was trying to move the maps to the extended/external storage, which obviously didn't work.
Not sure if I got that right, but the answer from April 8th 2022 suggests that the option to use the sdcard (and thus, the 'extended storage' feature) is not on any future-feature-list, but has been dropped consciously and permanently. Is this correct?

I wish there was still the option for older android users, my dumb phone runs android 8 and has too little internal storage to download Canada to it
is there a config file where it can be set manually?
It cannot be set manually, because only the system (android) decides where the app is allowed to write or read.

From Android 11, we are no longer allowed to use external storage (sdcard) to store files permanently opened (i.e map files). If you try it, the OS will crash the app without asking you. Seems the reason is the new devices allow to hot change of the sdcard.
On Linux, you could simply create symbolic link from the storage to the osmin/maps folder.
