Hi,
well, i may need to clarify which systems I use Forge with:
I'm on two unrooted devices, cellphone is on Android 6.x the tablet is on 8.x.
I can manually copy all my scans to external and link to it through the app as well (on my way in the select new path procedure, when I hit the above root level of the internal memory, I get a slight exception, which you can just ignore/move past).
I can even set the data path etc to external in-app as well but I never get asked for permissions, neither by the app nor the system.
And since the app doesn't have permission to modify/write to external SD you are greeted with a black screen upon startup, since Forge needs to be able to write to e.g. "data".
(Manually editing the "forge.profile.properties" after that black screen, pointing to the internal SD "data" and "cache" again, remedies that problem and Forge starts normally again)
That's one of the possible reasons why there's no HQ pics download option in Forge as it was asked earlier, because you'd need to access external SD for that for sure.
If you have set your data path to external and this is working, you're probably on a rooted device?
Believe me, my cellphones' Knox is no more
so, TWRP is already installed, last time I wanted to root I couldn't find a workable solution. But I'll try again soon
All the best!
