I'm sure this is me, so can you point out where I've messed up?

I've created a Tasker task called CopyToDropBox which uses the Copy
File action to copy %PATH to my dropbox directory (selected from the
dialog).

I've added a Tasker task to File Magic called CopyToDropBox.

When I long press on a file and select that action, nothing happens.
Is there some step I'm missing?

Thanks.

If you have Menu / Prefs / Misc / Allow External Calls enabled in
Tasker, then.
probably you installed Tasker after FileMagic ? There's an Android
permissions problem that
relies on order of installation unfortunately. You can probably fix it
by reinstalling File Magic.

Thanks for the quick response.
Reinstalling File Magic worked, but now I get an error telling me that
the Tasker failed, as it couldn't find a file named %PATH.

Thanks.

Sorry, it's a bug. I'll need to release a new version.

Okay, many thanks.
I'll report back when it's out. :)

Out, hope it's OK now.

That side works, now, thanks.

Now however, Tasker gives me an error saying the target folder
"dropbox" in this case, is not a directory - I selected it using the
task's selection dialog (long press on directory).
Do you want me to move this to the Tasker group?

Yes please :-)

Please also detail the action and it's parameters.
