Attempt to create adb special remote as follows:
git annex initremote android type=adb
-androiddirectory=/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=Google_PixeGoogle_Pixel_3a_94MBYKEOEJS/Internal\ shared\ storage/DCIM
+androiddirectory=/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=Google_Pixel_3a_94MBYKEOEJS/Internal\ shared\ storage/DCIM
encryption=none exporttree=yes importtree=yes
Results in following error message:
initremote android git-annex: adb: createProcess: runInteractiveProcess: exec: does not exist (No such file or directory) failed git-annex: initremote: 1 failed
-I can successfully 'cd' into this directroy path via xterm and browse the phone's DCIM directory etc.
+I can successfully 'cd' into the path via xterm and browse the phone's DCIM directory etc as normal
+so the path itself if fine. I also tried enclosing the dir name is quotes, double quotes etc but that didn't help
+Also tried by creating a symbolic link to the path name and specifying the link name, but no joy (I was hoping that it was the ":" between mtp and host that was the issue)
+I'm thinking this is related to gvfs-mtp ?
