I think there's a need for new way to install .milk presets

be able to change the folder that contains  .milk presets like playlists folder may solve the problem?

'cause i have an LGQ60 with android 10 and the stock fileanager it's enough to get access to the android folders.

yes, this is not a problem with android 12 and below. I'm suspecting this restriction is already there since A12, but file manager apps found a loophole, and now that loophole is patched in A13. I'm trying various file manager apps now to see if any can actually access the android > data directory.

Correct. Each time Google releases a new version of Android, they try to further tighten the ropes around their users' hands. :( You can still access these areas remotely via ADB/etc. and there are some other working tricks too: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-access-android-13-data-and-obb-folder-transfer-files-in-them/

@maxmp To prevent these sort of problems becoming more frequent as Google continues to clamp down on third-party app access to the /Android/data/ hierarchy, might it be a good idea to migrate Poweramp's artwork caches and milk-presets to /Android/media/com.maxmpz.audioplayer/ instead? As I understand it, that location is intended to be more generally accessible and ought to eliminate this sort of issue, and it ought to be a quick one-off task to just move the subfolder contents over.

@andrewilley the presets directory could be settable, but the way SAF works (100-1000x slower vs normal file access), this is not good for the current presets discovery approach. And the direct access only possible in /Android/data/. The folders are accessible for cable connection to computer (File transfer/MTP) and file explorers like Solid Explorer (though not on 13+). I'll try to investigate if Android/media may work for this.
