Unable to rotate, edit nor delete a picture on Fairphone 4 SD card folder

  • /e/ version: 1.5.1-s
  • Device model(s): Fairphone 4
  • Device rooted: no

Summary

Unable to save a picture in SD card folder that we have just rotated in Gallery app.

Pictures that are stored in the internal memory can be modified without any problem.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

Go in the gallery app, select a picture that is located on the SD card folder, select "edit", select the 3rd tool from the left (crop, straighten the image), select "rotate", then save (top right).

What is the current behaviour?

Gallery app crashes, "FX" is displayed in the notification bar, but nothing happens. The image is not modified.

What is the expected correct behaviour?

Image should be correctly saved in the new format in the Gallery.

Solutions

Workaround

  1. Download and install "Simple gallery pro" app from app lounge, the same task works well with that app.

  2. Share the picture with "Telegram", choose a contact, then rotate it and send it can do the trick.

Possible fixes

None. I tried to clear cache and data storage of the application, deactivate "advanced privacy", without success.

I also tried to "export" the modified image instead of "save", but unsuccessfully.

This bug appears on my FP4 as well as my spouse's FP4 (same config).
