The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade over being able to use your own gallery app. Can’t search file names, doesn’t work with microSD cards, and it’s painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?

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

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

You also lose the ability to use apps like scrambled exif 😢
Scrambled Exif - Apps on Google Play

Remove the metadata from your pictures before sharing them

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

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

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

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