Where on the card does it write the contacts specificallly?

[slackhead]

Android 4.3 on a Sony Xperia 1 (M I think).

I copied all my contacts and it gave only 2 that wouldn't copy. But when I look on my card with a file manager I can't see anything with a modified date for today. I want to get them off via sftp.

The app itself must see them because when I repoen it they are all ticked in the sd card section.

I'm using OI file manager by the way, and in the root of the storage directory it shows:

emulated
sdcard0
sdcard1

But the sdcard dirs seem to be identical. Latest modified date is from yesterday.

Update:

I installed a better file manager but I still can't find it. Now it's giving a message that it can't write to the card. I have 25G or so free. I'm guessing it's refusing to overwrite its last copy?

It might be nice if there was a message or something to say exactly where it saved and the filename. Also a way of selecting a specific save directory would also be a useful enhancement too, but just knowing where it is enough if you have a decent file manager to rename/move stuff etc.
