Any plans to make the image picked more expansive so it can use other locations?
Yeah, not sure about this new image picker - it only seems to be able to access three folders, but I have a lot more than that. Is there a way to give Sync access to whichever folders I choose? Or better, to be able to access through my gallery app?
Just tested and the image picker extract pictures from the whole storage and that’s exactly the goal of the component : extract all pictures so you don’t have to give storage permission to your whole phone to the app
Its just seeing a tiny fraction of mine.
Never mind, this dumb old guy was just looking at albums instead of photos.
Added the option to select folders for the next release
Thank you 😃
It’s no good?
In addition to what others wrote, here’s a practical example:
I wanted to insert an old photo in a comment, from my Google Photos. The photo doesn’t exist on my device, since it was taken from an old phone. I located the photo in Goolge Photos and downloaded it to my device. Then I went to pick the photo in Sync, but it was neither visible under “recent”, nor in any of the albums. So I had no choice but to scroll thru hundreds of photos to manually look for it, and found it under the original date the photo was taken - which makes sense, but in the previous gallery, my recently downloaded photos would appear at the top.
I’ve only got a few hundreds of photos so this isn’t a big issue for me, but I can imagine it’ll be a dealbreaker for people with thousands of photos on their device.
the Google Photos app is actually supposed to be able to hook into the new android media picker, not sure what’s taking them so long
Why not use the native picker which would allow us to use Photos for example? Seems like a waste of developer resources to reinvent the wheel.
Switched for the next release
Thanks, King 👑
