It was specifically designed +for exchaning files between Linux (and Mac OS X) systems and +newer Android devices that support MTP but not USB Mass Storage. + +The goal is to create a well behaved filesystem, allowing tools +like find and rsync to work as expected. MTP file types are set +automatically based on file type detection using libmagic. +Setting the file appears to be necessary for some Android apps, +like Gallery, to be able to find and use the files. |
