Thank you guys In the end problem was solved by @Endercraft who really deserves the name of "bug finder" The issue was MD Helper not running: despite being installed, for some reason it was not acting. How did he found out? He suggested to: 1. test a simple Shell Script with "echo ok" 2. If...

Thank you @Endercraft You really found out the issue: Helper was not running. I will create a macro to test periodically if it is running or not. Thanks Again, man!

Since I tested with helper in foreground it seems to be working. No need to re-install ... for the moment Isn't there a way to test if helper is running? Thanks Again!

Don't worry @Dimlos the only thing is missing in my Macro is using a random file in my morning alarm. But all the other automations are working like a charm! And I have a bunch of those Moreover I don't want another phone ... one is enough!

Guess what? Shell script timed out But MD Helper is installed, and from"Settings" I see "MacroDroid Helper v1.7 is currently installed. Why should it not be running?

Already tried @sampleuserhere mkdir does not work cp does not work No matter "User Helper App" (result > time out) or not (result > operation not permitted). The problem is: why does this not work in my phone? If I copy with Action "File Operation" file can be played, no problem. But does...

What do you mean by: As already said, if I use the MD Action File Operation type Copy or Move, it works. The problem is I cannot change file names, once copied / moved, since the action "simply" copies and moves, but with no "rename" option. Thanks

OK, my Galaxy is connected to my Linux workstation. I did 1. rename /storage/emulated/0/_MyDir to /storage/emulated/0/_MyDirOLD 2. run mkdir _MyDir (a new one, from linux terminal) Then, from /storage/emulated/0/, tried with chmod 777 _MyDir response: chmod: changing permissions of...

Found several versions ... it is unclear which to be used. And let me add none of them seems to be trust worthing. Sorry for the stupid question, but would it be the same if I connect to a Linux workstation and run command from there?

I'm sorry but I'm afraid this is not allowed to me, because it is a company held phone, and we are not supposed to install apps not coming from play.store. I know what you are thinking, but must comply with the phone owner's rules!. Thanks

Hello @LinerSeven first of all do not apologize: you spent a lot of time trying to help me and I really appreciate! Tried also "chown 10369:10369 /storage/emulated/0/_MyDir" from MD Shell Script Action. Timed out. Unless you were meaning I have to try from a Linux OS, I say once again (as in...

We already tried chmod 777 with no success. Then I have: 1. renamed _MyDir to _MyDirOLD 2. Run mkdir from MD The result is "timed out" and "mkdir: '_MyDir': Read-only file system" With full path: mkdir: '/storage/emulated/0/_MyDir': Permission denied Thanks

Hello @LinerSeven what I did was: 1. Rename /storage/emulated/0/_MyDir to /storage/emulated/0/_MyDirOLD 2. Create a new /storage/emulated/0/_MyDir 3. Moved all files from /storage/emulated/0/_MyDirOLD to /storage/emulated/0/_MyDir But I still have "timed out" (with flag "Use Helper App")...

I agree ... if you cannot measure it, you cannot Fix it! But what other could I share to help investigations? The only thing came to my mind is I have a work profile, managed by my company. Could this influence MD Shell Script behaviour? But why can File Operation Acrion work in the same dir...

Hello @Endercraft this is one of the things they suggested me to check: see the attachment to this post We tried in several ways, by cp and mv always resulted in: "timed out" > with the flag "Use Helper App" "operation not permitted" > without the flag These, despite the directory: been...

Same for me: tried with cp / mv in Shell Script Action, but for some reasons they do not work See my post Move file: Operation not permitted
