I am in complete AWE at the speed, precision and effectiveness I get from the answers in this forum and particularly from you guys/gals. You make me feel like I have a personal support team!
MANY MANY THANKS.
So far I've tested granting MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and downloading to ASD w/o Write permission and both work flawlessly and with a minimal learning curve
As soon as I have a final, working app, I'll make sure to post it to the gallery to, hopefully, help others.
