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?

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
