Hey everyone, I recently got a Lenovo Duet to take with me on my travels, and it’s my first time trying to be “productive” with ChromeOS.

My photo processing routine is to download photos from my camera by USB and copy them into the android filesystem where I use Lightroom to edit.

However Lightroom can’t see the newly copied files until I reboot, and even then I have to restart the app a couple of times before they appear. Anyone know what causes this? is there a way to refresh or flush whatever cache might be causing this manually?

It’s a little annoying especially considering they removed (or never had?) the reboot button because “you never need to reboot ChromeOS” 🤔

Update: Figured it out, Android apps can’t see FS changes made by Chrome OS. See comment below.

    This seems like a really weird bug. Maybe you can try using another app to check if it’s just Lightroom? I usually don’t even have to copy files to the android file system as they just seem to sync (at least Downloads and Music).
