using the "share" function to import files omits wiping them #300

When selecting a file and choosing "share", then selecting droidFS, it will let me choose where to deposit it and I can validate it. But once imported, the dialogue box only confirms that it's been done and it doesn't ask if I want to wipe the original files afterwards. This works when I import files directly in droidFS, and it asks me if I want to wipe the files (which I do).

Yes, it has not been implemented because most apps do not grant write access when sharing files, so DroidFS wouldn't be able to wipe them. That said, it may still be worth considering implementing this feature for specific cases. What app do you import files from?

Oh then don't mind me, I'm using the default, proprietary file manager on my realme 9 (realme UI). But I can see this work with open-source file browsers with willing devs! Guess I'll leave this open for those wondering.
