So I'm doing something like this:

case FileSystemJournalEntry.FILE_ADDED:

String path = entry.getPath();

Then I do a: (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///" + path)

What's weird is that the path that the code sees is this: file:////SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/whatever.jpg

(it throws a net.rim.device.api.io.file.fileIOException: File system error)

If I bring up the image, and look its properties, it says: /Media Card/BlackBerry/pictures/whatever.jpg

I'm guessing the problem is:

a) I have too many forward slashes in my file address

b) There is some black magic regards to why /Media Card/ and /SDCard/ seem to be at odds with eachother?

Thanks so much!

So now I my code is trying to access file://SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/whatever.jpg (still no love; I catch an exception after this).

So... /SDCard/ == /Media Card/ ?   -_-

There should be exactly 3 slashes...  2 for the protocol: "file://" and 1 that indicates the top level file system: "/SDCard".  "Media Card" is just an pretty alias that you see when using the built-in apps.

"file:///SDCard/something..." should be correct.

Thank you kind sir!
