Folder Structures in SDCARD

Hi everybody!
I just got my DHD and already root, clockwork, changed rom, etc. However, my problem is related to the directories structures inside my SDCARD.
I have 2 questions:
1- I moved some apps that I have in my main memory to my SDCARD via App Settings. However, when I go to my sdcard in windows explorer, I don't find these files. I'm not sure then if is really moving to my sdcard. I just realized some new folders, but they are empty. Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
2- The second question it's linked with the first. I would like to organize in my SDCARD a nice folder structure. Something like:
/
/Songs/
/Photos/
/Documents/
/Backups/
/Games/
/Apps/
And then if you go inside the Apps folder, you have another folder with the name of the application. Pretty much like Program Files folder in Windows.
Is this possible? For Songs, Photos, Documents, I created a folder and it worked. But what about for apps and games that I got on the market?
My SDCARD has also a lot of folder/files that were copied when I put the sdcard on the device. I don't know if I can delete that. Any idea?
Thanks for the help in advance!

[Q] Manual Nooter and B&N Library

I finally got the Manual Nooter 4.5.6 going, and all the apps and everything works great, love it!
My only reason for rooting however, I cannot seem to find an answer to.
I want to move files that I download from the web, into the /my files/books section and have them show up in the library.
I am able to sideload through calibre, no problem, and they show up.
However if I download through Aldiko and move the files over, it won't show up. I don't see what the difference is.
Any help would be great!

Are you sure that you are placing the files in the correct place after downloading them with Aldiko? They have to be in the main memory to see in the library not the SD card. I will wager that Aldiko is downloading them to the SD card which also has a /My Files/Books folder

Yes. I think so. The path to the books is:
/media/my files/books Aldiko does put them on the SD card and Im moving the folder.
Does the my files folder need to be up a level? Thats where Calibre puts them by default. And they are seen fine.

The library will read from /My Files/Books on either internal memory (/media) or the sdcard (/sdcard).
How are you moving stuff? If I put anything in either of those two, the library sees them. Have you done a refresh in the library?

I'm using Astro file manager to move them from the SD card to the internal storage.
I then do refresh the library, and nothing.
I can put a folder, or just an epub, and still nothing. I'm not getting something...if Calibre can do it and the library can see it, the theoretically I "should" be able to just drop one in there.

[Q] cannot move files (not app) from internal SD to external SD

After using google and forum search a while I am stuck with this problem.
on my i9000 I want to move files like jpg files from certain appfolders to my external sd card.
I tried to use different File explorers and tried to move for example a picture from the program folder of the app "multicam" on the internal SD card to a new cerated Folder on the external SD Card.
whenever I try to cut & paste it onto ext SD card, it sant be moved or just does not paste it... depending on which file explorer I use. I have SU rights for my file explorers and can't find a way to move the files.
Some files on the internal SD can be COPIED and PASTED onto the external and after that I have to delete the original Files from the internal SD. But why is CUT & Paste not possible?
is there something like protection oder chmod things, that has to be payed attention to ?
thanks for any hints what I do have to look for on the search function of xda-dev or google...

I have the exact same problem. Copy and paste works but Cut and paste does not.
I have both I9000 and Asus Transformer and in both of them this does not work. It's very frustrating when you have to frequently move files.

It happens to me too. I can't move, just copy and paste. For me is not such a bad thing, it keeps adding a "false" sense of security of having backups.

It works using root explorer.

Thx for the tip... I tried root explorer now and this works quite well. Now you can copy/cut + paste from any folder to each folder you like to. There are 2 settings available: r/o and r/w... read only and read write.

Music Files not moving

I have a LOT of music on my phone (40 GB) I try to be meticulous about labeling the files so I can find them quickly.
Some of my files were mislabeled. These are all on my external micro sD card. It won't let me change the files with my phone connected to the computer and opening via file explorer. I drag the file on to my desktop them rename. Then I delete the file on the SD card then drag the new renamed and/or new ID3 Tag bag into the SD card. The process goes with no problems. I then restart my phone. For some reason the file is relabeled properly but stays in the same position? Any help please. Also, any help why I can't rename directly on the device using file explorer or even change the ID3 tag? Was never this way with any other phone?
Thank You!

I forgot to mention I have the ZE551KL model my computer is Windows 10 operating system the files are in the correct order when I go into the file manager program is just the Music app that came with the phone is where the problem is.

Songs and Videos saved in MicroSd Card disappear

I save Songs and Videos in Songs Folder and Videos Folder created in MicroSd Card inserted in my Samsung M30s.But they disappear after some time.How to keep them secure in these folders?

Maybe you have some service enabled on your phone that wipes memory from files not used for a certain period of time, or moves them to the cloud. You know your phone best yourself. Did you connect the microSD as external memory or internally?

Which might be that services?Can you name some for an example?I connected the MicroSd as External Memory.

Look first in this application, where you have selected a directory in the external memory.
You can also move files to another location on the microSD yourself before they disappear in the location where they disappear.

Thank you ze7zez.First I shall try moving these files to already existing folders in the Sdcard watch whether they are disappearing.Afterwards I shall report the result here.

Do not use directories that the system or applications have posed.
Create a DATA directory yourself and move files to it.

Thank you ze7zez,
As you advised,I moved the Video files to the Movies folder and the Audio files to the Music folders.You know these folders are designated by the Phone itself whien I inserted the MicroSd Card for the first time.Then I watched for a day to see whether the files are disappeared from these folders.I found that those files are there still in these folders.Now I want to know why these files vanish from the folders created by me?

Describe /the actions you perform/name the applications you use/ that place files in directories where they later disappear.

I used File Manager Plus Application to move video files to Videos Folder and Audio files to Songs Folder.These Videos and Songs Folders were created by myself in the Sdcard.And these files were moved from the Send Anywhere Folder in the Sdcard itself.And to my dismay this Send Anywhere Folder itself was also created by myself in the Sdcard.Also the files in this folder remain in tact.They won't disappear.

So did the files disappear from the "Send Anywhere" directory?
What application placed the files in "Send Anywhere"?

The files did not disappear from the Send Anywhere Folder.They are still there since 3 days.This SendAnywhere directory got these files by transferring from another phone using Send Anywhere App.
