We've made some improvements on our side since MTP support was first introduced in Opus.
#MTP ANDROID WINDOWS#
Make sure Opus and Windows are both up-to-date, of course. Unfortunately, it's one of those things where there isn't a single mode that works best for everything. If you have problems in one mode, try switching to the other one.
#MTP ANDROID ANDROID#
Since the MTP stack varies with different devices (as well as different OEMs, and different versions of Android on the same device), you may find that a device works better in one mode or the other. This means the look & feel when in an MTP folder may not be as consistent, but it may also help with compatibility issues. When mtp_enable = false, Opus delegates a lot more of the MTP work to the Windows shell (the same components which File Explorer uses). When mtp_enable = true (the default), Opus handles a lot more of the MTP support itself, giving you more of the standard look & feel that you get in other Opus windows, and so on. Some form of MTP support is enabled whether it is set to true or false. The name of this setting is a bit misleading. Try toggling Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: mtp_enable This post aims to collect suggestions for resolving problems, as well as alternatives for doing the same thing. Sometimes problems are due to the device at the other end of the cable. Sometimes these are due to low-level issues in the Windows MTP stack. On top of that simplicity, the MTP stacks in both Windows and Android are still not that mature, and you can see problems in both File Explorer and Directory Opus. It is very different and simplified compared to a real filesystem, even if it looks like one when things are running smoothly. MTP is also a very simple protocol, with limitations such as only being able to transfer one file at a time in its entirety. (Other things like firewall and antivirus may also get involved, as always, but that's an open topic and outside the scope of this post.) The Windows version can also play a part, since the Windows MTP stack is involved in the same way that the Android MTP stack is, and neither are entirely problem-free. Since MTP depends on the devices at both ends of the cable cooperating with each other, and there are lots of versions of Android as well as custom MTP stacks from some OEMs, behavior is not always the same from one device to another. Some people find that MTP transfers do not always work, often with Samsung phones and/or older versions of Android. Opus includes built-in support for the MTP protocol, which many phones and tablets (typically Android ones) use to allow file transfer between the phone/tablet and your PC, when both are connected together via a USB cable.
