Default file picker is poorly suited to locating key files. #121

Clicking the path selector to locate the user .pem files only opens a limited file picker. I believe this is the default file selector on my device, but it is highly insufficient for selection of keys:

A sidebar on the left allows the user to open the following "folders": "My Drive," "Videos," "Images," "Audio," "Downloads". It is not ideal to store private keys on a cloud storage server (Drive), so this leaves "Downloads" as the only mechanism to choose the files. The "Downloads" list only contains files which were actually downloaded; files moved locally to the Downloads folder on the SD card are not listed.

What if you go to device settings then storage? Does it show SDCARD there? I see an option to mount if ejected.

I have the same issue. I cannot select the files at all, even if I navigate to the folder they are in. The selector shows only Media and known document files.

I have the same issue plus a direct path in the text window wont be accepted, either. Instead, I receive the error: de.aaschmid.taskwarrior.config.TaskwarriorConfigurationException: Given CA certificate file does not exist, was '/data/user/0/me.bgregos.brighttask/files/cert_ca'.

Which is a totally different path from the one I entered.

I have a better picker, but still. It doesn't show .pem files. It doesn't even show .txt files, it seems I need to rename them to .png or something stupid to make it work. Is it possible to use a better picker? Or choose a different one? I have a similar problem with other apps, so far I wasn't able to resolve it.
