Automagic Forum

I created a file, then tried to use mv to rename it via execute command. It failed, permission denied.
I thought it might be a timing issue, but even trying to rename 5 minutes later failed.
Using the built in move file works, so it's not a big deal; the m just curious as to the why...

It is working fine at mine. What is your example that fail.

I try to write to file, "hello" to /sdcard/Download/a.txt
Then use execute command (not root one) at the working directory /sdcard/Download/. The flow works just fine, immediate rename.

Thanks for looking at this.(do you get any rest?

Flow Attached. Termux session, same thing. (w attrib missing for other)

But any file manager or AM can rename or delete the file

Strange, eh?

Cheers

I am restless soul with messed up timezone :lol

I thought you are dealing with root directory, turns out to be external storage. I don't use microsd since I use this phone 1,5 year ago. Somehow I plugged in OTG and I can't find it using move file or AM's standard folder browsing. This is maybe the bug you are encountering too.

The last time I remember ever tested it out at old phone, there is a bug where the move files has the correct permission after granted SDcard access in the Feature & permissions setting; but the command version or the root version can't see it. The other reverse bug is move/copy files can't see the root directory, since they are executed as normal privellege although I have granted Automagic root. It seems you encounter the first one. Let's wait for Martin's insight on this.
