IOS enhancement: enable access to photos

fiveOO commented 1 year ago

Enable loading images from the local photo albums on IOS e.g. for symbol replacement.

Using v2.3.1 I'm able to access only

some app specific folders in "On my IPhone"
Dropbox
ICloud Drive but not the locally stored photos.

Well, are you quite sure about this. On my iPhone a similar view opens, but there's a "Durchsuchen" (sry, don't know how it is named in English, maybe "Search" or similar?) button in the top right corner. With that I can reach a menu with the entry "On my iPhone".

Same on my iPhone but the "On my iPhone" menu shows only a few application specific folders like "Acrobat", "Downloads", "Firefox", "VLC". There's no entry like "Photos". In global security settings of the Photos app I do see settings for different apps that want to access the Photos like Firefox, Dropbox, WhatsApp, ... but no entry for GC Wizard. Therefore I think that GC Wizard has not requested that privilege (or I have rejected it at the first installation?!)

Maybe a comparison to WhatsApp is helping:

pressing on "+" in WhatsApp shows a menu containing "Photos and ..." (or something like that) beside Camera, Documents, ...
pressing on that "Photos and ..." shows the photo gallery of iOS and the button "Other apps" in the lower right corner
pressing "Other apps" shows the dialog "On my iPhone" that I get in GC Wizard

I've found no way to show the photo gallery of iOS in GC Wizard

Ok, thanks for reporting. We will dive into this after our big refactoring.
