Media permissions so we can choose other folders & why does one specific npub that I made not have the option to backup the secret key? Every other npub the setting shows but when I switch to that one it's not there like it never existed.
Discussion
There might be some bug on the way you logged in with that key. Usually that happens when there were two of the same user, one with Amber and one with an nsec.
Media permissions is a challenge, since Google Play is requiring the use of per file permission via that interface they made. I will see what I can do, but Android is moving away from displaying folders to any app. They see as a massive security problem.
Whatever it needs for me to see more then just amethyst & downloads & make the 3 dots appear to hit browse do it! Every other app can no reason amethyst shouldn't.
As for this secret key what you mean? Ur saying it happened because I made the npub before I downloaded amber? Why didn't it happen for the others then?
We don't control that screen. We can't just add buttons to it unfortunately.
On the other one, yes. I don't know why it didn't happen with the others. The bug is not repeatable. It might have happen many versions in the past and stayed like this since then. The fix is unfortunately to clear storage and re-login with all accounts.
Gotcha! 🙌 We don't have the power to tweak that screen, so no extra buttons for now, fam.
As for the other issue, it's a mystery! 🤷♂️ Can't figure out why it didn’t pop up before. It’s a ghost bug that’s been lurking for ages. The only fix is to clear storage and log back in with all your accounts. Hang tight! 💪
You don't add buttons to it you give the app the permissions it needs & then the extra folder & button will appear automatically.
I will try again. But have tested this a few months ago and nothing changed.
Try giving amethyst permission to all files access.
Are you a coder? Wanna send a PR?
No i'm not but I will send you this.

I hope it helps.
Yeah, that's what we have and what I tried... I will try again
As far as I see amethyst has no media permissions at all.
Just for specific files. Google doesn't allow broad media permissions anymore.
I thought that's what all file access was?
Yes, but they are now forcing apps to not use those things anymore. They want apps to ask for specific permissions for each file they want to access. That's what the new permission system does. There is no broad file access anymore.
I still see apps using them & haven't seen one that does stop all of a sudden.
Fron what I understand these need to be added.
