Clone to SD card on android 4.4

[cbarreholm]

Android 4.4 has restricted write access to SD cards only to the app that created the folder. Therefore agit needs create the folders when cloning. See more: http://support.solidexplorer.pl/responses/kit-kat-442-issue

Hey @cbarreholm, thanks for reporting this issue - quite unexpected :(

Therefore agit needs create the folders when cloning.

I'm confused about this - although I was initially able to reproduce the issue, once the git-repos folder is created, even after it's deleted, clones successfully work - and anyway, Agit always creates the git-repos folder if it doesn't exist.

Hi,

See the attached screenshot. ES Fileexplorer knows which application that owns the folder and labels it with the appropriate icon. Android 4.4.2 keeps track of the owner. I believe it's in /system/etc/permissions. So the initial creation will likely store the permission and subsequent clones will be allowed even if the folder is deleted in between.

Tell me if I can be of any more assistance.

Best regards, Christer
