This bug was driving me crazy until I gave up on trying to do what made the most sense, and started working with files on my phone in a roundabout way. In Windows 7, mtp is good enough to display the files on my phone, but when I try to edit and save over those files (such as .png or .bmp images with GIMP), the files aren't actually saved over. My editor says they are saved over, and my Windows file manager reflects the changes, but not so on my phone! For example, I open images with GIMP and remove the white backgrounds so that they will look more polished as custom icons, but when I save these over the original the changes appear to be so when I open them again on my computer later in that session, but these changes never appear when I open them with any app on my phone. Transferring these files to my PC, removing them from the phone and then saving them again (after making changes) to the same (now empty) folder doesn't work either. The only way that I have been able to save changed files on my phone after changing them on my laptop is to save them to a different folder.
Do others have this problem with saving files through Windows mtp? If so, I find it hard to understand Google and the phone moguls getting in bed with such half-baked technology!
