Unable to open the "Send to"-Menü
For 2 week I get a new Android-update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (no new Version, only for stability). My Android-Version is 6.0.1. But after this update I have to reset my phone and reinstall all apps because the phone doesn't work normal after the update. So I have to reinstall Locus Pro and the add-on for field notes. But this is not your Problem.
But today (when I was geocaching for the first time after the reinstall) I notice that I can't send the fieldnotes from the addon via mail or so. Immediately when I mark some found Caches in the addon an klick on "Send to" I get the error-message "Kann nicht in Datei schreiben." (cannot write to file). I don't get the selection to choose mail or Whatsapp or another app to share the fieldnote. There is only this error message. When I want to save the fieldnotes offline I get the same message.
So I have to upload the fieldnotes to Geocaching.com. But normaly I send the field notes via mail to myself. So I can import it to GSAK because I log with GSAK because it is more comfortable.
My installed versions:
Locus 3.24.3
Field-Note 1.4.6.2
My Locus Folder is /sdcard/Locus.

The same problem 
Good day Daigers,
I'm currently testing this behavior with latest version of add-on and it seems to work correctly. Error you wrote seems to be some issue with writing to device storage. I suggest to check if you granted "Storage" permission to this add-on in system > apps settings.
I not developer of this add-on, so we have to wait on answer of developer, I ( as a Locus Map developer ) may only suggest temporary alternative to open Locus > menu > more > Geocaching tools > Field notes manager > and here select field notes and over menu > Export to file, that should give same results as over add-on.

Hello Menion,
thank you for the hint with the "Storage"-permission. That was the problem. It was deactivate and after I allow it the send to-function of the add-on works correctly.
I had the same problem with the mobile of my wife (Galaxy S6) after I made a factory reset on it and reinstall locus and the add-ons (like on my mobile). The send to-function doesn't work. But the problem is only after a factory reset. If you install a Android update on your mobile without making a factory reset before or after the update the add-on works.
Everytime there was a major update of Android on my phone (for example from Android 5 to Android 6) I made a factory reset and install all completely new. And since I had my first mobile I made this very often. But never before I had to set the Storage-permission manually. Everytime the add-on works correct after I install it.
Because of this I don't search the problem in the permissions of the add-on. But now it works again. That's the main point.
Thanks again.

Perfect, you are welcome. Since Android 6 ( maybe 5, not perfectly sure now ), apps needs to be prepared to a new system of permissions and directly request user to grant access to SD card etc. Seems that Field notes add-on is not yet perfectly ready for this. Hope Jarda will take care of it.
