CC: Problem to change folder in MIUI8

[fomtom]

Hi folks!
I have an RedMi Note 2 with MiUI 8 global, 7.4.20 Beta (language: German).
On this I work with CC 5.2.5.2 (359).
I send all menue-items and messages "as I do read them" - most in german.

I want to change the default folder (to the SD-Card).
I do the tree dots, "Einstellungen", "Buchformate und Speicherordner", "Standardordner".
I get "Wähle einen neuen Speicherordner ..." and select "Wähle einen Ordner".
After this a message appears "Android 5+ folder chooser ..." with english text and german texted choice links. My choice is "Fortsetzen".

After this, the problem start.
I get first the message "Aktiviere zuerst Dokumente unter Einstellungen > Installierte Apps" and then "No folder was selected".

I can find in my Miui-"Einstellungen" the point of the installed apps,but I can't find the point "Dokumente" there.

In other apps, I can change the default folder without problems (for example moonreader or amazon kindle) on this phone.
On my lenovo-tablet with android 6 I can do so with CC to.

Who can give a tipp or help, where to search (in permissions I can't find "Dokumente"...) or how to do ot whats wrong?

For this I thank you in advance!

And thanks to the developers for this great app!
It's working fine on my tablet!

Ciao

First, exactly which version of Android is the device running? The latest offered by the Android development tools is 7.1.

The only permission that CC asks for and that Android lets you revoke is "Storage". CC checks that permission every time it starts and won't continue without it.

I don't have a physical device running Android 7 so I fired up an emulated one. CC ran without problems. However, the emulator doesn't support SD cards so the test isn't perfect.

The images below show what I did step by step.

Ahhh --- Googling

first activate documents under settings apps

finds this page. It might help. The same search finds several videos showing how to solve the problem.

That's the solution!
I haven't found this on google.

go to settings > on the bottom choose installed apps > on the top choose "ALL" > go to the bottom find Documents app (its in bottom because disabled) > enabled it with pressing enable on the bottom screen...

Thank you very much!!!

I translated the message you gave to English using Google Translate and searched for that.

Perhaps no one has asked the question in German?

Possible.
But when I was reading the message, I thought only in the direction "wrong rights of the app" and not in the direction of a "not started app".

Wrong direction of search...
Sorry.
