Restoring settings dont remember location of audio files

Hi
when switching phone and restoring settings, macroes dont work because the autio files location apparently is nor preserved.

I had manually to go through about 80 macros to set all audio file locations again, very time consuming

Any idea how to solve ?

Thanks

You're right, it's very time consuming and boring but I'm afraid there is no solution. ☹️

Unfortunately Google have decided to make file handling on Android into an utter nightmare, such that apps cannot easily reference simple paths in most cases but have to use much more convoluted mechanisms, which require granting permission to specific locations that are only relevant for a particular device.

I appreciate the pain. I think there may be more changes I need to do when moving to target SDK 30 later in the year so if there is any way I can make this better I will try.
