Good Morning,

It may be a coincidence that after the latest update to Automate 1.50.0 and Android update to e/OS 3.4-a15, there are problems with the file functions, neither read nor write nor exist are working with the "old" settings.

The error message is as follows:
01-30 05:06:56.700 F 41223@2: com.llamalab.safs.NoSuchFileException: /dev/null/Automate/APM/apmhtml.txt

I used the block file selection and didn't change it the last half year and it worked flawlessly.
If I insert the full path name under fx in the block, everything works fine again.
So the problem is the return value of selecting a file in the blocks.
As seen here, value as selected in the block:
Bild2.jpg
Change to see the fx value:
Bild3.jpg
that worked before!

Now it works if I change it to:
Bild6.jpg
Any ideas what's going on?
Regards;
Fritz

There's must be something seriously wrong with the OS update if it returns "/dev/null/" as external storage directory.
Try rebooting the device.

I'm serious, after the last reboot it worked again.
And yes, after the e/OS update I did a reboot, a full shut down, and another reboot 😮
Thanks for your support,
Regards,
Fritz

It might be some issue with the device "external storage" SD card or SSD where it fails to mount properly.
