New feature: expert setting Raw video folder, how this work??

mlxmlx
in RaceChrono for Android
Hi,

I tried to use this feature to access the raw files in a different folder on my SD card (inserted in the phone - so no usb cable). In particular, I have the files in the DCIM/100GOPRO folder and I want to access the video files there without moving in the other racechrono default location. Unfortunately, after setting the folder, when I go in the saved session and I click on the video circle I cannot see the videos, as it seems racechono is still searching them in the default places.

What am I doing wrong?

    Just an update: if I set a folder on my internal phone memory, it correctly appear in the list. However if I use any folder on the SD card, it does not work... so I think this is a bug.

    Which version? There was a bug that is now fixed in v4.5.2 and v4.6.3. The folder needs to be reselected if you did that in earlier version.

    Hi, the problem was there with version 4.5.2 and is still there with 4.6.6. I have a Soni Xperia Z3+.

    I have a couple of screenshots:

    Note, that the videos that are visible are those that I manually copied in the other folder. The manually set folder does not work.

    There should be third storage visible "Custom storage". RaceChrono probably thinks the folder is not readable. I'll check my code tomorrow.

    Which Android version?

    Running Android 6.0.

    The third storage folder do not appear when I point it to any folder on the SD card (this is the actual issue). If I point it on the phone internal memory, then it appears.

    RaceChrono probably thinks the folder is not writeable. Does it work if you set it under /storage/0000-0000/Android/data/com.racechrono.pro/files/temp/ ? You'll need to create the temp folder first.

    Yes it works. If I set it to the "files" or to the main "com.racechrono.pro" folders it works as well. However, when I set it to the data, it stops to work. So I think you got the issue. I hope it is not complex to fix. By the way, why the folder needs to be writable? Actually it just needs to read the videos there.
