If you haven't switched from the AOSP Gallery app, I highly suggest doing so

Carlos-Anso Aves will however send an EDIT intent if you try to edit an image. The bundled Gallery app is able to handle that intent.

I feel the Markup app available from the GrapheneOS App Store should really be used regardless if you have the stock Gallery or not

pml the app is proprietary and very basic. Fossify Gallery, Image Toolbox and "New Gallery" all have the same functionality afaik.

Maybe in a Tablet it works better than the others

Carlos-Anso Its possible for an app to send a VIEW intent for an image which is to be fetched via http or https. Bundled Gallery app will handle this.

Don' t know if this really breaks things. But good to know.

It may not really matter but also could be a problem if an app is trying to show you an image that you need to see for some reason and you cant see it and depending on the context maybe dont even know it was trying to show you something.

pml

missing-root fair criticism. I was just putting it out there as an option

That's right. I personally would take the risk but on the other hand I'm fine with this stock gallery. I need no fancy stuff.

treenutz68 Yes, I've been using the Gallery app on F-droid that was recommended by another user on here in another thread.

yellow-leaves Yeah I should have been backing them up more often. I do backups from my phone far more often now, especially since I found out my Linux laptop doesn't experience weird random MTP USB file transfer issues unlike every PC and laptop with Windows I've tried using MTP USB file transfer on.

lorarzi42 I then held down on the first icon (which I thought was the video I wanted to delete) and pressed delete and confirmed it.

If I'm not very much mistaken, this recent commit is removing that button: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_packages_apps_Gallery2/commit/7b3fb7327289978e099ccd32e8e5c797b321fe43

No need to switch anymore:

'Gallery: remove the Delete option for items that represent multiple images since the UI is badly designed and makes it too easy to accidentally delete images, ...'

Btw the old AOSP gallerie's "share" feature does not open the normal Android share popup. This makes it useless when sharing between private space, work profile and owner

Thank you for degrading of software that has ever worked well. Instead of backup data or look before clicking. We simply remove a very common basic function.

2025 can come.

AccJustForThat simple answer to your prickly comments is disable it, don't use it. Obtain another gallery app and complain later, or rather don't. There are other more pressing issues to address like memory tagging errors in ProtonVPN.

That isn't GrapheneOS's responsibility to fix...

Its just annoying. Sure everyone can install another software to dodge problems.

But the fact that the Gallery app works perfect fine, some users complain and instant a feature get hilarious complicated.
Why not suggest to these users in first place, to switch the Gallery app because there is no time to repair old apps?

Now I need to change a running system because it got disabled.

But yeah now it is what it is. :/
I would call it bad development decision.

DeletedUser69

AccJustForThat Albums in the Gallery app are nothing but folders in the filesystem. If you want to manage multiple files and you absolutely need to use system app, you can use Files. To me the feature you talk about never existed since I manage multiple files differently.

Perhaps you should(!) be using Gallery only for viewing media and Files for modifying files.

lorarzi42 I use Simple Gallery from FDroid.

Fossify Gallery is the updated fork of Simple Gallery.

DeletedUser69 as I said 100 times.
Sure you can use different software to dodge problems.

Fact is there was a feature which was smart and fast.
Some people aren't able to handle their phone properly, and now the app got a downgrade.

The obvious solution from begin would be not touching and messing with old software. Or simply assert a basic "Are you sure to delete XYZ?" Popup.

I get your point. Different software for different purposes is always a good idea. But fast handling and easy usage are also important.
With filebrowser it's as complicated to delete all Whatsapp-GIFs as with the gallery in its current state.

Time invested to disable a feature in the most basic app.
Doublemoral, and bad thought out development move.
