One point I have note, it that if I go under the Android setting of Osmand app and select to show/change the Permissions and than select "Files and Media" I have offered two only options: *Allow access to media only *Deny If I look at other apps, in most of the cases I got the same two options, however for a small number of apps (like Acrobat Reader and Excel) I got a third option *Allow management of all files. If we were able to use this option, I suppose the problems would be solved. In my opinion this is a problem not just for OsmAnd but for any apps that need to access files (but for app that just need to access media). By the way I can not see much differences between media files and other files. In my humble opinion both of them are just binary files (or text file in same cases) Do you know what happens if I choose to migrate to a subdirectory **/Android/media or I choose to use a custom directory down there? (now I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app so I can no longer see the migration request) Thank a lot and sorry for the long post (and for the rant) AnyFile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
