SFOS Nuuksio - Why isn't it possible to save maps, pics, video from Android apps, on SD card?

I just made a symlink. Anyways, isn't it up to the app developer?

First off: Your question is barely readable.
Text on TJC is formatted using markdown. use apostrophes `` to type inline code or start code blocks with four spaces.
a new line is only generated if you append two spaces at the end of a line (or you can use HTML <br> tags).

1. SDCard: sounds like you should make a feature request for Advanced Camera. Native Jolla Camera allows saving to SDCard. so does PureMaps navigation.

2. As for the Android (?) App OpenCamera: That's a known bug in Android Support already reported multiple times. SD cards are not visible to Android apps.

3. Do you understand what the Tutorial does?

   • It is way outdated: current mountpoint of SD cards - since quite a few releases of Sailfish - is /run/media/nemo and the gsettings commands are not necessary as these are the default values.
   • About Tracker I'm not a 100 percent sure but I think by default it should index media flies on SD cards as well. Encrypted SD cards are different and AFAIK won't be indexed because they're not automounted.
   • Also the bash script + .desktop file makes no sense to me. Maybe repeatedly deleting and relinking the folders once was necessary but now seems inelegant and even dangerous as it might accidentally delete files.

Added "from Android apps" to the heading of this post as the problem does not concern Sailfish apps.

Not really. Advanced Camera is a SF app, but it can't save pics/vids on SD

@rozgwi Sorry if my question is barely readable, my english is non as good as yours is, and regarding the "text on TJC" (btw, what does it mean?) i cpied and pasted it just the way i found it. About your question "Do you understand what the Tutorial does?", of course not. I'm not a computer engineer, nor a programmer. I'm only an ordinary person who would like to be free from the duopoly Android/iOS using an alternative OS, that's all. Obviusly, if this is a mere utopia because Sailfish is far far away to be a OS ready for final users, no problem, i can go back to my Xiaomi with Android Pie in less than a minute. But, i ask, is the policy of Jolla conceived to keep normal users far from its products? I wish it's not.
