Pictures in Media Folder Don’t Appear in Timeline
- /e/ version: 1.17 S
- Device model(s): Zenfone 8 (sake)
- Developer mode enabled: no
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: yes
When an image is saved from the Message app, it get saved to the Media folder. Pictures in that folder do not show up in the timeline view of the gallery. All apps used for testing are shipped with /e/.
Apologies if I'm missing some info. This is my first bug report.
Steps to reproduce
- Have someone text you an image.
- Tap on the image to view it fullscreen.
- Open the hamburger menu and choose "Save to gallery".
- Open the gallery app and notice the the image is not added to the timeline.
- In the albums view, open the "Media" folder.
- Notice that the image is saved in that folder.
What is the current behavior?
Images saved to the media folder do not appear in timeline view.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Images in the media folder should show up in the timeline view of the gallery app.
Technical informations
Relevant logs (adb logcat
)
I couldn't figure out a way to make logcat not run forever. I'm not sure it would be useful anyways. (Sorry, I'm new to this.)
Solutions
Workaround
None
Possible fixes
Either by showing images from all folders, or by having a setting that allows you to choose which folders appear in timeline view.
