How to move MyDocs ?
 
Hello, I want to know how to move the MyDocs folder on the external card, and get it recognize by the explorer correctly.
For the moment I copy all my pictures, sound, movies on my external card in the same folder.
But I would like to conserve the look of default folder ...

Best regards

I think, there are several ways to do this. For example you can move all your MyDocs stuff to flash:
mv /home/user/MyDocs /media/mmc2
Then you should to create symlink
ln -s /media/mmc2/MyDocs /home/user/MyDocs

Thanks but I'm in root and I have those errors:
/home/user # mv MyDocs/ /media/mmc1/
mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/media/mmc1/MyDocs/Host.sh': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/media/mmc1/MyDocs/.images/grcm/host-16.png': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/media/mmc1/MyDocs/.images/grcm/connect-16.png': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/media/mmc1/MyDocs/.images/grcm/ssh.png': Operation not permitted

mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/media/mmc1/MyDocs/.images/grcm/rdesktop.png': Operation not permitted

The files are really copied to mmc1 but files in /home/user/ stay :s

The folders listed there are actually folders starting with a dot (.) You have to create symlinks for them.

1. cd MyDocs
2. mv .sounds .sounds2 #backup old
3. ln -s /media/mmc1/Music .sounds

repeat for other folders.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Though this works, this procedure might cause the battery to drain quickly. I'm not really sure whether this is the reason, but after I did these, my battery drained quickly. It is probably due to the metacrawler process checking the mmc constantly, which causes the battery to drain.

you can get the list of hidden folders with the a switch of ls, that is ls -a.
