New Photo Sheet is a downgrade for me. Can’t navigate to sub-folders, everything is just grouped under Camera, Screenshot, or Download albums. And forget any images stored outside those folders. Can there be an option to switch to the Document API?
The fact that you don’t have to give access to any folder anymore is a huge upgrade
Not if I want to use a photo in a folder the image picker doesn’t default to.
For example, tons of apps save photos to /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/, which is a proper shared folder location on Android(any app can access it), but which doesn’t appear in the new Photo Picker as an Album. The picture might show up in the general “Photos” list, but that’s only useful if it was recently taken. If I’m trying to find an older photo it’s near impossible.
Not to mention the pure lack of sub-folder support in the “Album” section means everything in my Downloads, Camera, and Screenshot folders is just jumbled together in those three groups, completely ignoring any organization I might have in them.
I have thousands of photos. This new image picker is almost unusable for me.
