--- Begin Message ---Package: jmtpfs Version: 0.5-2 Hello, I encountered the following bug in jmtpfs, while connected to Android: After doing mount I have: mntpoint/Internal Storage and mntpoint/SD Card If I create a file at the top of one of the directories-volumes, like "touch mntpoint/SD Card/test", the one which is not "primary" under Android, will not have the file created. Instead it will be adopted by the primary one. So 1/ files can clash due to same filename: touch mntpoint/Internal Storage/a; touch mntpoint/SD Card/a 2/ the file will not be written on the sdcard (unless it's primary) I found the following patch to fix it. I also found the relevant code Android. It seems the "coordinates" of a file (transfered over mtp protocol) are (storageId, parent, name). Files at the top have the parent as 0, yet Android expects 0xFFFFFFFF. So while getMetadata(), in src/MtpFolder.cpp, indeed does: if (folderId==0) { folderId = 0xFFFFFFFF; the wrong MtpFolder::CreateFile(const std::string& name) does not. The Android part does the test for if (parent == MTP_PARENT_ROOT): https://code.google.com/p/android-source-browsing/source/browse/media/mtp/MtpServer.cpp?repo=platform--frameworks--base&name=android-4.2.2_r1.2&r=3762c311729fe9f3af085c14c5c1fb471d994c03#824 (look for "// special case the root") diff --git a/src/MtpFolder.cpp b/src/MtpFolder.cpp index 0fff40b..abd1ef2 100644 --- a/src/MtpFolder.cpp +++ b/src/MtpFolder.cpp @@ -123,12 +123,15 @@ void MtpFolder::mkdir(const std::string& name) +#define MTP_PARENT_ROOT 0xFFFFFFFF void MtpFolder::CreateFile(const std::string& name) { if (name.length() > MAX_MTP_NAME_LENGTH) throw MtpNameTooLong(); - NewLIBMTPFile newFile(name, m_folderId, m_storageId); + NewLIBMTPFile newFile(name, + (m_folderId == 0)?MTP_PARENT_ROOT:m_folderId, + m_storageId); TemporaryFile empty; m_device.SendFile(newFile, empty.FileNo()); m_cache.clearItem(((LIBMTP_file_t*)newFile)->item_id);
