I'm trying out an application where I for the first time don't browse to a folder but rather type it in from scratch...

The folder path I'm trying to type in is on the internal memory card and named /stuff/stuff2 (as an example).

I can NOT figure out how to do the whole file path.
I've even tried /internal memory card/stuff/stuff2 - but that didn't work

Help?

For the internal memory card, use this:

Code:
/media/mmc2/stuff/stuff2
Removable (mini-SD card slot) is mmc1 if you ever needed to know.

Should be all set!

Thanks!! That worked. I'm not sure..but it seemed as if it was even case-sensitive.

So...the 'root' directory on the internal memory card is "/media/mmc2/" then? Interesting and confusing at the same time and another push for me to start learning some Linux

Yeah, directories can be a pain for new tablet users and people who have never really worked with Linux before.

Also, yes, directories are case-sensitive, which is a good thing in most cases. Glad you got it working.

Also, yes, /media/mmc2 is the full directory for the internal card and /media/mmc1 is the full directory for the external (removable) card. Now you can change the "Linux skill level" in your sig from None to "Close-to-none".

@ silvrmountain

2 things I (also new to linux) found useful :

The emelFM2 filemanager to explore the file system.
The command "find -name xyz" from root in xterm;
wildcards can be used, e.g. "find -name *conboy*" to find all(?) files the app. Conboy uses.
