Remove the image preview before adding an image

[BrayanDSO]

I don't see its point. If I'm choosing an image from the gallery, I'm already previewing it while selecting it, so there's no need at all to reconfirm that I want the image that I deliberately chose.

Also, showing the file size below it is a mostly useless information and is not user-friendly.

The feature, IMO, is just a annoying extra tap and a loss of time.

If its only usefulness is to give some way for the user to crop it, it can be done in other ways that are more friendly.

I would like to counter that, majority of the apps show the preview after picking image from the gallery plus if user wants to add directly image to the field they can just paste it, or what we can do is avoid preview in case user directly shares image to AnkiDroid from gallery

You need a source or a list of examples if you want to make that argument. I tested every app in my phone that can add images, and none of them had a preview before adding it (Google docs, Keep, Obsidian, TickTick, Samsung notes, Microsoft Office)

That also includes Anki and AnkiMobile.

if user wants to add directly image to the field they can just paste it,

That's complex for most people. And it doesn't invalidate any of the points that I made in the post.

I was talking about WhatsApp and Telegram, though what about the crop since the apps you mentioned allow to edit the image after we add it, I want to stick to the previewer till we migrate the note editor in webview as I think it will have preview
