I'm very impressed with it, it can do so many things. You can link to any cloud storage and 
access files as though they were local on the device. It can unzip files, create collections of 
favorite folders, play audio files, and display text and images.


Like Finder, you can drag files from one place to another to either copy or move them. It can 
access your computer or another device on the network via FTP. It gets frequent updates. 
There's too much to list here, but it's been my file manager for years and the first app I 
install on a new device.


Disclaimer: I'm not involved with it at all, I just like it a lot. This kind of file management 
is what I miss most about iOS.

missing folders in resource folder

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

I added a folder "daten" in the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone Application 
settings".
Inside of this folder are five more folders and two of them are EMPTY.

The two empty folders do NOT appear in the Android runtime if I do:
...
put specialfolderpath("resources") & "/daten" into tFolder
put folders(tFolder) into fld xyz
## I only get the NOT empty folders in the field!?
...
Is this a feature or a bug?


Best

Klaus

Yes, definitively! 
The "Downloads" or "Documents" folder would be a good start, otherwise we 
cannot create apps
where the user needs to add more files.

Since this is an app for my personal pleasure, I will create a way to "sync" 
local files with files on
my server.

Re: tsneterr

[Mark Smith via use-livecode]

Thanks Matthias. I find it strange that they would report “connection closed 
gracefully” as an error. But as I noted previously, this just started happening 
about a month ago so I am going on the assumption that it’s not a good thing 
and will keep looking for an explanation. If I can think of way to phrase it, I 
may even try the mothership. At the moment, however, I have no way to make this 
happen reliably so that’s not much for them to go on.

I tried several things but I couldn't get any of them to work. You can write to and read from 
the mobile documents folder, but if you put a file in there manually it isn't seen by the app. 
I use a very good file manager on Android called Solid Explorer and it does see a file I copy 
to documents, but my mobile app doesn't list it or confirm anything is there.


If you want to try, download a good file manager; Google or Samsung's default Files app won't 
work. Then go to the app's document folder, which is located here:


  /Android/data/com.your.appID/

You may have to give the file manager permissions to open those folders, they're locked down in 
recent versions of Android. Solid Explorer will ask you to allow it.


We really need LC to give us access to the public documents folder. I think that's the only way 
to do what you (and I) want.

Hi Mark,
it seems error -9805 is an error which is returned by iOS.

I just searched for  error 9805 and found this page here with some open source 
code from Apple.
https://opensource.apple.com/source/libsecurity_ssl/libsecurity_ssl-36800/lib/SecureTransport.h

There is the following line
errSSLClosedGraceful= -9805,/* connection closed gracefully 
*/

Anyway, maybe someone from LC or maybe even Charles Warwick, the author of the 
tsNet external, could chime in.

Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

First let me thank you for your previous response. In response to my question

The method name is SSLWrite(). Apple says the method has been deprecated since

I think I’ve seen it maybe 4 times since June 21 (dated screen shots) but a lot

permanency of an unsigned Android app on the phone?

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi all,

if I "Do not sign" my Android app and let someone install 
the app via Google Drive, will the app cease to work at 
some point like iOS apps do after 90 days (I think)?

Thanks for any hint!

Re: tsneterr

[Mark Smith via use-livecode]

Thanks Matthias. I’ve bookmarked the curl page for future reference. That 
solves about 1/2 the problem. Too bad it is difficult to find any information 
on error code -9805. I’ll follow up with dropbox to see if they are issuing it 
and what it means. I checked the things you mentioned and none of them seemed 
to apply (I’m using http not ftp so that rules out #1, time settings have not 
changed on my end since forever, unlikely dropbox would change them either so 
that probably rules out #2, and I can’t speak to their firewall settings). Very 
helpful, so many thanks!

PS I’ve noticed this error only since upgrading to LC10. I wonder if anything 
changed in LC that might be contributing? I’d go back to using 9.6.8 (I still 
have it installed) but since upgrading Xcode to be compatible I don’t have the 
old SDK available to test with. BTW, this is a question I’ve long wondered but 
never answered: is it possible to just have (or keep) the SDK files and not all 
of Xcode? That would sure make life easier space wise.

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

The error numbers in the brackets returned by tsNet are curl error numbers.
And according to
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

it means there was a problem sending data to the peer.

Searching further for Curl error 55 i found some causes

1. if uploading to an ftp server this error could mean that there is 
insufficient quota on the server
2. Your or the remote compute could have incorrect time settings
3. wrong firewall settings on the remote system
