Open Handrail9 opened 1 month ago

Handrail9 commented 1 month ago

Description A clear and concise description of what the bug is. The setup can not be completed as you can not pick a directory to save backups. This is due to Android/Google TV lacking com.android.documentsui and/or com.google.android.documentsui. Steps To Reproduce

  1. Install
  2. Grant permissions
  3. Can not select backup directory due to "You do not have an app that can do this"
  4. Can not procede

Expected behavior Prompts to open third party file manager (Material Files, Fossify File Manager, Little File manager etc)

Additional Notes

Installed from F-Droid It appears other apps have implemented some sort of alternative picker https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7446 https://github.com/aniyomiorg/aniyomi/issues/1271

Yeah, seems like Google/Android and the OEMs (also LineageOS) are not interested in providing such access. So the only maintainable way is the one that NP took.
