Now they also need to be able to read/write in the similar directories of the SD card, for example: - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Pictures - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Videos As a side note, we are using the following API in applications to retrieve the path (e.g. /home/phablet/Pictures): http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html#writableLocation To retrieve the similar path on the SD card we are considering using a combination of that to guess the directory name (Pictures) concatenated with the value of http://doc-snapshot.qt- project.org/qt5-5.4/qstorageinfo.html#rootPath To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu/+bug/1391930/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
