No joy. Found the folder but saving metadata fails even when I move the folder of my images to this location, with the same error. F-stop was also unable to move the images into this folder (had to use the file manager as you mentioned). Any ideas?
ThanksHi Jason
Thanks for replying. I appreciate the risk of losing all the photos when uninstalling F-stop, and I appreciate you would not want it to become default behaviour. However, understanding the risks, I would want to be able to use the app with it. Can you explain to me how I can use a File manager to create a folder which F-stop can write to?
Good to know that things look hopeful for Lollipop but I for one am going to be very careful before upgrading this time, and would certainly like to not feel crippled meanwhile 🙂
CheersHi, this is an old thread but I need some fresh info on this problem.
Like several others, I need to load a large number of images on my external Sd-card, tag them using F-stop (for exporting afterwards), and being on KitKat, I’m unable to do so.As I understand it, apps on KitKat are no longer allowed to write wherever to the external sd-card, but it does not prevent them from writing to their own designated folders. So, I expect that I should be able to use F-stop (premium v3.2.1) to create a folder on the external sd-card (which would be its own folder with write access), and then be able to edit images that are inside this folder.
However, I am unable to even create such a folder anywhere in extSdCard.
I am using an Xperia Z3 and I see above that the “fix” from v3.1 does not work with some Xperia devices. This here is the bit that I don’t understand.
If this is a global restriction in KitKat, then it should logically not depend on the device and the specific app under question. On the same device, MxPlayer seems to be able to make changes to external sd-card.
So why, then, is F-stop unable to do so?Hi, this thread is old but I need some fresh info on this. Like several others, I would like to load a large number of photos on my external sd-card and use f-stop to tag them, and, being on KitKat, I’m unable to do so.
