uint32_t LIBMTP_Create_Folder ( LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t device,
char *  name,
uint32_t  parent_id 
)

This create a folder on the current MTP device. The PTP name for a folder is "association". The PTP/MTP devices does not have an internal "folder" concept really, it contains a flat list of all files and some file are "associations" that other files and folders may refer to as its "parent".

Parameters:
device a pointer to the device to create the folder on.
name the name of the new folder.
parent_id id of parent folder to add the new folder to, or 0 to put it in the root directory.
Returns:
id to new folder or 0 if an error occured

LIBMTP_folder_t* LIBMTP_Find_Folder ( LIBMTP_folder_t folderlist,
uint32_t  id 
)

LIBMTP_folder_t* LIBMTP_Get_Folder_List ( LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t device  ) 

This returns a list of all folders available on the current MTP device.

Parameters:
device a pointer to the device to get the track listing for.
Returns:
a list of folders

LIBMTP_folder_t* LIBMTP_new_folder_t ( void   ) 

This creates a new folder structure and allocates memory for it. Notice that if you add strings to this structure they will be freed by the corresponding LIBMTP_folder_track_t operation later, so be careful of using strdup() when assigning strings, e.g.:

Returns:
a pointer to the newly allocated folder structure.
