Picture uploads on mobile are missing GPS data #3

Closed KinaUna closed 4 months ago

When uploading pictures with a desktop client the location data are preserved, but with mobile browsers the data is stripped.

The default image picker strips some Exif data on mobile devices, not only for web browser but also other applications.

The solution is to change the file picker accept value to a custom list, which should make the browser use the generic file picker instead of the image/media picker. Unfortunately, the user interface is not optimized for selecting images, as the thumbnails tend to be much smaller. It does also allow for access to cloud accounts and network storage linked to the mobile device's file manager.

The initial solution has been implemented in the development branch and can now be tested.

Finished the initial implementation. More work is planned for the add picture feature, and it will be tested more as work continues with that.
