Reminds me of when Google introduced MTP to Android with their 3.x version.
All of a sudden what used to be a simple transfer from tablet to PC was a nightmare.
This because while before the PC would read the SD card directly, with MTP it was mediated via a database within Android.
And that database easily got de-synced from the actual FS state if i used any kind of file manager on the tablet.
Effectively i had to dig up an app that was designed specifically to force the database to sync.
