[Duane Moody <1369651@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael, I'm intrigued by your comment because Android File Transfer for
OS X is capable of moving files to the root of an MTP folder, and its
backend is libmtp.

Also, applications like calibre are designed to keep manifests at the
root of whichever storage they're connected to. Unless the documentation
for libmtp explicitly forbids file write access at the root (and the
error thrown is more specific about this), developers will assume they
have access.

Can you walk me through this decision?
