Move downloads from app to ext. SD

Ok people. I recently bought the galxy note2. I already have an galaxy note 10.1 tablet. On the tablet I somehow managed to get the downloads from Mangasearcher to be automatically saved to my external sd card. I really don't remember how I did it and I need help to do it again :p I've been searching online but can't figure out what I did last time. It's taking up to much space on my phone, and if I move them myself the app won't find the downloads...
Please, someone?
=D
 
You can use a file manager (File Expert, stock My Files app) to copy your downloads to your external SD card and then delete the files on your internal memory after you copy them.

Or you can do the same thing on a computer via USB.

Yeah, i tried that. But then the app just won't find the downloaded files anymore. I don't understand how i managed to do it on my tablet. Haha!
But thank you for the suggestion though ^_^
 
Have a look at Mangasearcher's settings. You might have the option to choose the default location for the downloads.

I just did. There is no option for changing the destination folder.

No option to go back to /mnt/ and then to choose the SD card?

Other thought, if you uninstall and reinstall Mangasearcher you might get an option while installing.

Yep, tried that too :(
I really can't find a solution for this, I think I just have too not have too many chapters downloaded at the same time.
But thank you people for all these suggestions ^_^
 
Ok, so if anyone is interested I just wanted to tell you that I found an app that allows me to choose destination folder. So for anyone interested Mango manga reader is the one that allows me that. It has to be downloaded from internet though, couldn't find it in the play store ^_^
But it's just as good, if not even better!
 
I know you found a solution already, but did you go thru the settings> storage and select your main storage location for external SD card.? This is usually the reason why everything, by default, is saved to internal storage.
 
I can't find a way to choose main storage. It only displays how many gb is used and how many gb are free. And the option to reset the sd card.

Not sure on your device, but on mine I have a section, under storage settings, "Windows Media Sync" which gives me the options of storage location: Internal or SD card storage.
