Up,
Il always get the message "invalid file cache directory" or something like this and my audiobook player cannot access the default folder of Booksonic(in Android/data/...) so both are currently unusable unless I manualy copy/paste my audiobooks in the player directory.

Temporary workaround for #196

Need to figure out why the app thinks the file has been downloaded before and therefor delete it but for now this will at least make it work.

Add permission MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to manifest. This fixes #198 #196
7fdc12e 
 and #157

Need to add a button that opens the permissions to allow the user to allow "management of all files". For now the user needs to navigate to settings -> apps -> booksonic -> permissions -> storage and change it manually

I believe that Booksonic qualifies for the exception to allow it but at the end of the day it is Googles decision that matters and I would rather spend time on new features then argue about this so I am removing it again. This means that #198 and #196 are back.

I will start to migrate to the android media store, this way it will at least be possible to use the media locations, that should be enough for most usecases.
