[This PC] viewing file on 'garmin sport watch' do not work, copying does

[gizmocuz]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have a garmin vivoactive sport watch.
I can successfully browse to the folder by pressing ALT-F1 and then the +
I can change to directories, and even copy files to my local harddisk.

Problem: I want to view the data (F3 View), this give a error "Search path not found"

I would love to view the files! Because copying works, i think/hope this would not be a big issue ?

Try this plugin: https://plugins.ghisler.com/fsplugins/wpdplug.zip

Even though it says it is for "Media Audio" it works fine for accessing files on cameras and smartphones etc..

With this plugin F3 works for viewing files

This happens because files in virtual folders cannot be opened for reading. Windows only allows to copy, move, rename, and delete them. The Media Audio" plugin access the device via MTP at a lower level, where it is possible to open files for reading.
