Other ExternalStorage v1.01 omission :(

[agraham]

Erel has locked the ExternalStorage thread so I can't comment there but I'm afraid he hasn't included the fix for the problem of repeated requests to grant permission because of differing prefixes to the saved and requested Uris.

In SelectDir

'Dim s As String = u 'ignore Originally
Dim temp As Object = u ' Erel's Solution
Dim s As String = temp

In ion_Event

'PersistantUri = treeUri 'ignore Originally  
Dim temp As Object = treeUri ' Erel's solution
PersistantUri = temp

Fixed in v1.02.

Worth an explanation:

Dim u As Uri = ...
'now we want to convert the URI to string:
Dim s As String = u

We are relying on the default toString method implementation. However because Uri is an object wrapper it adds the object type to the output string:
(HierarchicalUri) content://...

Solution is to get the unwrapped uri and convert it to string (after we verified that the native toString method is good for us):

Dim o As Object = u
Dim s As String = o
