Comment 2 for bug 1369651

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?
