Issues copying to SD card

[alex-guer]

When I try to copy/paste a file from the internal storage to my SD card, an empty file (size: 0 byte) appears on my SD card that I can't open but with the right name.

I tried to do the same thing with the same file, but this time from the Android built-in file manager, and it worked. I can open the file, and it's written that it has a positive size on the built-in manager. But Amaze File Manager, after a refresh, still shows that the file is empty and I can't open it from there.

So then, I tried to copy/paste another file from my internal storage to my SD card using Amaze File Manager but trying to open it from the built-in file manager and indeed, there, the file is normal in my SD card even though AFM considers it as empty

I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android 8.0

I can confirm this with Omnirom 8.1.0 on an Xperia X. Almost all file write operations are impossible. Copying ends up in 0 byte, deleting or creating files and folders let amaze crash. No problems with the internal sd.

Can anyone replicate in master or release-3.3.0?

It seems to be a permissions problem, even with root. Doing the same operations with Ghost Commander ends in a permission denied message. Amaze creates 0 byte files or crashes. This is dangerous when moving files. Without a check for a successful write operation you will lose your file(s). The AOSP filemanager has no problems with sdcard operations. I use the F-droid build and they provide version 3.2.1 only, which is the latest release.

Working fine on master. Please re-open if persists after v3.3.0

I've just noticed this behaviour in version 3.3.2.

I can't copy a file from internal storage to the sdcard and I can't create a file or directory on the sdcard.

I guess it's permissions but I don't have root privileges to make any changes.

I have a similar problem: files get copied ok, but as a side effect I always get the same filenames (files with 0 size) in a specific directory.
