Excuse me for too many questions  |
The "remount external SD as RW" is not required, most of the time. It just is needed if you wish to write, change or delete files on the external drive with the programs running on the device. Most of the programs are written to default to only write to the internal uSD card. On the rare occasions that these programs (like Nickel) wish to write to the external card they temporarily remount it RW.
With Koreader having OPDS and other new features where users might want to download files to the external uSD card, and with the file handling options that File Manager has had all along, I decided to add the remount to RW into the script I use.
It should make no difference if the external SD card is being mounted RO or RW, as far as the default folder setting is concerned. The File manager needs to be able to function with or with an external uSD card. In fact I have removed and replaced it while in the File Manager. (It can be a problem for Nickel though.)
Luck;
