Where has the MD folder gone from Files?

+1 vote

I used to be able to see the MIDI Designer data/Layouts folder under the Files app 'On My iPad'. Today it's disappeared! Have Apple done something to remove it from sight? Or is it an MD update that's done it? It was so helpful to be able to copy that folder as a safety backup. Oddly it's still there on my iPhone. sad

Scratch that. I tried a power-off/power-on and the folder has re-appeared. Still, this post may help someone else.

It's been an emotional ride: seeing this post, worrying, reading the comment (which was already there by the time I read the post) and then realizing that 2.140 did not break this behavior)... I've marked this question as "resolved" which will hide it from certain pages, but it's still there and Google will find it. Thanks, glad the Files stuff that we fixed a few months ago is still perfect. Thanks to Apple, the notion that "this thing that used to work is now broken" is totally reasonable... it's the modern fast-moving version of "bit rot."

Anyway, thanks for reporting the problem and the fix. Good luck!

Restarting the device fixed the problem. Whoot!
