Just got my Galaxy S8 with /e/. I like it… but i got a huge issue:
The Gallery doesn’t show anything. So I installed the simple gallery from f-droid. There i can see all pictures i took with the open camera.
But apps can’t access to them. For example when I want to send a photo via Signal messenger (by clicking to the + symbol in signal) i can’t see any photos.
Same for the Synology app “DS Photo”. I can’t upload photos to my NAS because no photos show up.
The photos I took have this file location:
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/OpenCamera
I don’t use an external SD card. just the internal storage.
Anyone have a clue why these apps can’t see the local photos?
for the standard gallery which is showing nothing:
android.gallery3d
v 1.1.40030
for the simple gallery app i installed via f-droid:
simplemobiletools.gallery.pro
v 6.14.9
apps like Signal or the DS Photo seem to not look at the right locations. The simpleGallery is ok, i can see all images in there. But for example Signal: When I try to add a photo to a conversation, just a black screen appears, nothing to chose.
I downloaded signal without g… here: https://signal.org/android/apk/
Don’t get me wrong. Signal was just an example. I can work around it in signal by chosing “add file” instead of “add photo” to a chat… then i’m able to chose the folders i want.
But in the app “DS Photo” I can’t. I got the options:
Phone Gallery
Phone Videos
Take Photo
Take Video
When I click on “phone gallery” the black screen with no images opens… i can’t tell the app where it should look for photos…
It looks like this strange pre-installed gallery app messes it up !?
@Bolo, das wird im englischsprachigen Teil des /e/ Forums nicht gerne gesehen. Wir können im /e/ forum auf Deutsch soviel auf deutsch quatschen wie wir wollen …
