Cannot write ANYWHERE (sd card or internal storage) on Android 9 (Samsung S8)

Open ribtoks opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

When selecting literally any folder, this app says "We cannot write to this folder. Writing to subfolder may work", but it never works.

Even if I create a custom folder with 777 permissions (write access to anybody), it still cannot write there.

If you select in Advanced options "Writing external storage" and then select literally any directory, it deselects the checkbox.

Very frustrating..

I'm ~expecting~ this to be fixed with my upcoming update here or if not then I may make a public repo. But, I ran into this with Android 8.0 and sd card use and put in a mitigation which then reroutes it to my newer storage usage where it then works great :)

Edit. Might as well update that. Should be closable.

The current app version on here has fixes included. Further updates are currently pending as pull requests that improve on it such as fixes for various issues, better performance, far more tested as I created automated test scripts to help test it, multi user for multi locations, and more.

(Currently only github project is updated and not fdroid or Play Store.)
