yep, I will need something like this, thank you!

I am counting on this fact! :-)

I have a SD card in my old Samsung cell phone and tried exactly this, but did 
not work.
I checked "external storage" in the STAB, installed the test app and connected 
the phone to my Mac.
Then I copied an image into the appropriate "com.whatever...". (sub)folder on 
the SD but LC did not 
see the file in -> specialfolderpath("external documents")!?
Did I do it wrong?

That would be wonderful, Matthias. Please conact me privately.
LC needs at least Android 5.1.

Thanks a lot!

There is even a feature request/bug report for accessing more public Android 
folders:
