25.1.5 I don’t like the new File System Handling. How can I get the old Handling back?


If you want to use your G-Stomper App the old way, then all you have to do is to completely move the folder …


“/sdcard/gstomper”


to …


“/sdcard/Android/data/<app-packagename>/files/gstomper”


The <app-packagename> is unique for each app:


G-Stomper Studio

com.planeth.gstomper

G-Stomper Studio DEMO

com.planeth.gstomperdemo

G-Stomper Producer

com.planeth.gstomperproducer

com.planeth.gstomperproducerdemo

G-Stomper Rhythm

com.planeth.rhythm

G-Stomper VA-Beast (standalone)

com.planeth.vabeast

Once you moved your data to the new location, you can use everything exactly as you did in the older app versions.


Please note that changing the existing file handling was neither our idea, nor was it our intention. The upcoming Android OS versions (Q and R) force all apps to go that way, and there is no way around it. Android Q introduces Scoped Storage and forces every app to use the “System Files Picker” in order to access files outside of its private, isolated storage.


We’re doing our best to give you an as smooth as possible transition. But it is clear that this is a major change, and we’re sorry for your inconveniences.
