The old media picker allowed us to choose apps and local options much better. Amethyst isn't the only one that operates this way. Olas and Primal operate this way too. 😩

The file picker doesn't show the remote drive...

Yeah, Google is blocking the use for the old picker for new versions on the PlayStore. Let's hope they make this picker better otherwise we will need to make a custom component.
It's about permissions. The old one required the app to get access to ALL media in the device. This one only allows the app to get access to the selected images/videos.
That makes sense. I have found a work around that sucks, but works for me 😂 I find an old photo in the Photos app that I want to share on Nostr and then add it to a Nostr album for easy access.
Graphene OS achieves the same with storage scopes.
Oh wow of course it's a google thing
