I want to edit my app files using an external editor, but DroidScript stores app files in scoped storage (Android\data\…), which isn’t accessible from my external editor or even the system file manager on the phone. What a pain!

How are you all handling this? Right now, it seems the internal editor is the only option.

A suggestion for Dave: it would be great to have an option to set the app data location to a folder of our choice.

Thanks!

Dave

I considered that option, but decided it would probably cause too much confusion as user's would not get the hang of scoped storage if their apps were not bound by that restriction during development
