ok - with my fire tablet, as with your nexus 5, I can get both programs to use/storage/emulated/0/CC/book
on the samsung , from within moon , whatever I try, I will see it's reported path flip to that /sdcard/cc version as soon as I try to drill down.
the guy who opened the other thread I linked to does not name his tablet
let's jsut leave this here as a record and in case anyone else has a better explanation
much googling suggests that /sdcard/ is a very old way of doing paths in android.
e.g. this
https://android.stackexchange.com/qu...virtual-sdcard
Some devices (like my Nexus 4) don't have an external slot for an SD Card. Instead, there's a root folder called /sdcard/ that is treated the same way. But I also find other paths that all point to the same files -- there must be some kind redirects going on (I think this is called symlinks in Linux).
All these paths contain the same files:
/sdcard/
/storage/sdcard0/
/storage/emulated/0/
/storage/emulated/legacy/
Which path is the "actual" one? What about the other paths? What are they used for, why do they exist?
FYI I can get moon to add a redundant /mnt/ to the path, which does not help. e.g. it will save /mnt/sdcard/cc as a different path to the same location.
you've disproved that is could be a generic android 6 issue. so maybe samsung have "helpfully" built in /sdcard/as a sort of sym link ?
I can also go to the storage info in device settings where some android or samsung "user friendly" storage manager lives. That claims that CC is a top level folder in device storage, alsong with all the other folders. its makes no mention of either /sdcard/ or of /emulated/0/
I'd be happy to relocate my CC folder to a different internal storage location if that would help. I'ts actually still at the install default ( I've been typing CC for short, it's really still called calibre_companion )
