Michael, I'm intrigued by your comment because Android File Transfer for OS X is capable of moving files to the root of an MTP folder, and its backend is libmtp.
Also, applications like calibre are designed to keep manifests at the root of whichever storage they're connected to. Unless the documentation for libmtp explicitly forbids file write access at the root (and the error thrown is more specific about this), developers will assume they have access. Can you walk me through this decision? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mtp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369651 Title: "libmtp error: Could not send object info" when copying content to root MTP folder Status in “mtp” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: ENVIRONMENT: Ubuntu device: ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed build 40 Desktop: Ubuntu 14.10 SUMMARY: "libmtp error: Could not send object info" when copying content to root MTP folder STEPS: 1) Connect Ubuntu MTP device over USB 2) Attempt to copy some content to the root of the MTP folder EXPECTED RESULT: The copy operation should succeed.
