Auto-updated to 3.77 'Stable' from Google Play

My Samsung A54 5G with OneUI 6.1 and Android 14 just auto-updated to KLWP 3.77 from the Play store and immediately ran into several issues.

1/ Until now on 3.76 I have been using globals to rotate through images in a folder on my SD drive of about 50-100GB total. This no longer works. My issue is that even if (once I try changing all the paths to /Kustom/Images) it works, I definitely do not want to add 50+GB to my main 128GB memory storage. With 512GB SD card that is where I want to store photographs. If 3.76 works can we not have the same system in 3.77?

2/ KLWP 3.77 editor keeps closing on me as I try to make adjustments to file paths etc. and needs to constantly be reopened, possibly because of how many globals and paths are no longer working.

3/ I tried downloading and reinstalling 3.76 from the Kustom website but the installer says it’s an invalid apk.

This essentially overlaps with the previously reported issue in the topic “cannot read image”, so you might want to follow that one, as well.

Yes thanks, but that one is marked ‘Solved’ with the move to /Kustom/Images, which doesn’t solve my issue at all because most people don’t have SD card s on their phone.

HOWEVER, Ace has definitively responded on that thread. He says, “The solution requires that you move the files inside the Kustom folder due to an access issue in newer Android APIs.” Not what you (or I) were hoping to hear, I’m afraid.

But does the Kustom folder NEED to in the main memory? If there a chance it could be moved to SD then I’m all for it, and disappointed if not.
