Gforth Android file access trouble

Show all headers | View raw

I'm running the Gforth 0.7.9_20251001 app on Android 16 smartphone.

A few months ago, Bernd helped me here to get around Android's golden
caging by creating a directory under /storage/emulated/0/Download for
copying files in and out of the Gforth app, and adding that directory to
fpath.

That worked well at that time, but yesterday I copied a new file into
that shared directory (/storage/emulated/0/Download/gforth on my phone)
and Gforth cannot find the file with either include or 'sh ls', even
though files I copied into the directory months ago still show up as
expected.

Permissions on all the files in the directory, old and new, is 660
(read+wrote for owner and group). I tried changing perms to 666 (add
world read+write), but it had no effect, and permissions were reset to
660 after I restarted the phone.

Any idea what's going on with the new file?
