Right. It can export folders but as compressed. What I used to do was
create a folder of same name and then copy all files. Much simpler than
borrowing windows.
Swapnil
Yeah, but that doesn't work for nested folders.
BTW, I'm not sure MTP is busted, but the Fedora repository just doesn't
have a front-end to libmtp.
And yes, it's only some Android phones that can't use usb mass storage:
but it's any phone without a removable storage card.
