I'm not familiar with File Commander, but I notice that on Google Play it says "Fully optimized for Android P" (9). But AFAIK the storage access framework (SAF) was only introduced in Android 10 before being strictly enforced in 11. I can't contribute to your experiments because I decided to stay with Android 10 when people started discussing the problems on the OsmAnd GitHub issues page (and BTW it seems that the devs are earnestly trying to find the best solutions in this difficult situation). However, if people are still experimenting can I suggest trying the "Ghost Commander" file manager (Google Play or F-Droid) and reporting back if it makes any difference? It's free. open-source, no Ads, and very powerful. It can work both with direct access and SAF. In Android 10 the SAF mode allows me to do things in OsmAnd's default folder on removable-SD that I am otherwise denied. I have no idea if this might help, and I have no connection to Ghost Commander! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
