I apologize for that. It seems that has slipped :/ > Please, please, please, please provide a (supported) softlink in the > /home/nemo directory to the sdcard.

This was done in order to guarantee that tracker can identify the partition uniquely. You can put the link as you want. Just make it point to /media/sdcard or even /media/sdcard/ and it should stay the same as long as you don't reformat the card. Also note that if you have more than one partition then all will be mounted under /media/sdcard/ so there isn't even a guaranteed single partition to begin with ;-) Cheers, ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

You moved the mountpoint for the sdcard. And it isn't even > predictable now!!! I didn't find that in the changelog. We didn't provide an official, stable way to access the SD card so far. I explicitely stated in an earlier reply to this list that you should not rely on the SD card being available at the current location: https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2014-January/003150.html > Please, please, please, please provide a (supported) softlink in the > /home/nemo directory to the sdcard. I call the softlink "My SD Card" > and it works very well (or did, before you screwed around with the > mountpoint). If you only use one SD card you can still use that link on your device -- the mountpount is based on the filesystems uuid. We won't provide a default symlink for mainly two reasons: - it would not work with multi partition SD cards - SD card has different speeds and different level of data integrity than the internal storage. Additionally the SD card may be removed at any time, which requires applications to close open files on the SD card. For stable use supportable by use applications therefore need to be aware which storage they're using. We're currently investigating if QStorageInfo is fully suitable for providing SD card access, and will update developer FAQs once done. Bernd ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

Bernd, Thanks for your comments. Please re-make them in the discussion on together, which is where this idea should have been discussed with the user and application developer community before the change was made. https://together.jolla.com/question/33774/info-10420-ext-sdcard-directory-change/ Graham ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
