App fails to launch the folder with the received files on Samsung Galaxy. #1457

Describe the bug

I've started using Localsend transferring files between my Samsung Galaxy A54 and PC and while that works with no problems, I've got issues with how the app handles opening the folder of the received files on Galaxy. It simply fails to launch the folder in question when I use the "open with" option with any of the suggested apps. Furthermore, received files stopped appearing on "History" which might or might not have to do with changing the file destination folder while trying to troubleshoot the main bug.

To reproduce

  1. Open the app on a Samsung Galaxy phone and transfer some files from the Desktop PC into it. As explained, I use A54 but I'd assume the issue exists on other models too.

  2. Open history by clicking the arrow icon on top right corner. That's the only way I found to launch the downloads folder through the app.

  3. Click "open folder". Two appropriate possible options to launch the folder appear among others. "My Files" (yellow icon) which is the default, native Galaxy file manager AFAIK. Clicking it results in an "unable to open file" message. There's also another app suggested called "Files" (blue icon), I think it's native too, even though I don't use it. Clicking it launches the phone storage's "Downloads" folder which I believe was the default option for the received files. However, this doesn't help either, because I've changed the folder for the received files to a manually created folder called "LocalSend" on my micro sd root, because I'd prefer receiving them on my micro sd.

Expected behavior

I'd expect any of the two apps I've mentioned to launch the micro sd folder with the files I've received. The files are successfully downloaded there btw, but I am unable to open the folder through Localsend. It'd be even better if the destination folder was merely opening from the get go when clicking "open folder", without asking you what to use, which as I've explained, it fails to anyway. I'd also expect the files I've just received to appear in History.

I'm running Android 13 on OneUI Core 5.1 and I'm experiencing the same issue. Interestingly enough, I happened to notice that when a browser is selected as the option to use, it downloads the Localsend download folder
