      hello all,

      Randomly, about once a month, my magic mirror will open a folder to the /home/pi directory . There is no mouse or keyboard attached to this raspberry pi. Any tips on troubleshooting this?

        @bma_diy that is a real challenge… it could be an explicit attempt to open a file by a module, or it could be a browser request to download or upload a file.

        so, I would start by searching thru all your installed modules for any file system functions

        in the MagicMirror/modules folder do

        find . -type f -name "node_helper.js" | xargs grep "require(\"fs\")"
        

        that will show any module asking for the fs (file system) functions

        on the browser side… more difficult. if this was chrome or firefox and u have a keyboard, I might try looking thru the history for accessed URLs…
        I haven’t see a good use of history under electron
