[BUG] Can't reach folders in /Android/data #139

Open hiddense opened 3 months ago

hiddense commented 3 months ago

The file browser doesn't show this folder as an option to browse due to scoped storage protections, despite Amarok having root access.

If this can't be done without a custom file picker please consider please consider adding absolute paths as an option, such as /sdcard/Android/data/folder

Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Well it's by design. With root access, Amarok may hide, or in essence chmod, any directory including the system folders. A careless mistake may brick the device. The system file picker can serve as an "idiot-proof" safeguard.

It's already there! Just long-press the "Add hidden folder" button, and you’ll be able to manually enter the path :P
