i agree there was no release (in branch f-droid) since jan-2020. Development is in branch master which has received 170 commits since jab 2020 with last commit 8 months ago

the app is nearly dead because since android-10 i cannot access gps and tag data from android-media-database any more.

I tried to mirror the android media database to a local database with gps and tags and my own media scanner.

But i have failed to sync between android-media database and my own media database

I was looking into the idea of Virtual Albums, seems like a very interesting topic and I'm just searching for good app that can handle this job.

I doubt but maybe this feature by itself is a good excuse for continuing the app..



PD: This idea really stick in my mind. I like to organize most of my local stuff, like music. In this aspect the MPD protocol caught my eye, which can read tags (metadata) of the files. Looking some more gThumb (gnome) and digiKam (kde) support tags, wonder of an Android one can read those.

"Virtual Album" is implemented as something similar to a sql statement.

Since android-10 it is not possible any more to apply the neccessary sql to the android-build-in-media-contentprovider.

This is one of 3 reasons why this app is dead :-(

Is this a change in Android 10? I have an Android 10 device and I can still edit tag and geo data in the app
