The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can't search file names, it doesn't work with microSD cards, and it's painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?

You also lose the ability to use apps like scrambled exif ๐Ÿ˜ข

[โ€“] viking@infosec.pub 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy strips all exif information by default when posting, so there's no need for a scrambler to begin with.

[โ€“] NickCudawn@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Good to know. But still it's cumbersome not being able to chose from specific folders/apps

[โ€“] NickCudawn@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I don't know how it looked pre-update but the image picker from Sync for Reddit was absolutely more functional and still not ugly

[โ€“] CharAhNalaar@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I completely disagree with this, but that's probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

[โ€“] yumpoopsoup@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Wait till this man finds out what digital photos are stored as

[โ€“] sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social 5 points 11 months ago

I do too. Are you sure you're responding to the right person? Because you're not making a lick of sense.

[โ€“] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, plus one for this, the new picker is so limited compared to how it was before. Would 100% vote for a reversion.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Added for the next release.
