   You again stirred my curiosity - since I don't know about the Android   
   and its file-editors peculiarities... - How does Android recognize the   
   path with the (arbitrary) "A1B1-C1D1" and "A2B2-C2D2" path components   
   but not a generic (a fixed) one?

   I'm lacking Android competences so I cannot provide more than a hint.   
   Sorry. (If it doesn't work for reasons beyond my expertise please just   
   ignore my post.) I would have thought there's (as so often) some menu   
   entry or (either system- or editor-specific) properties file to change   
   or define that.
