bug: nonfunctional image picker shows the first time you select “limited access”

0x53A commented 1 year ago

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I do not give any app full photo library access, out of principle and spite.

Currently Graysky behaves a bit weird - it asks for library access and fails if denied, but then still pops open the native picker.

For some reason, most apps want to implement their own image gallery, which means I first need to give the app permission to use the new photo and can then select that photo again in their custom picker.

Most apps also do a really bad job of implementing their own gallery, in my honest opinion. In addition to the privacy paranoia, I just prefer the UX of the native picker.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

Unless you have a real need, please don’t bother requesting direct gallery access and just use the native picker.

I use the native picker, not sure what you mean. I think there’s a bug regarding permissions though, I’ll take a look

Ok seems like the first time you select limited access, it pops up a picker that does nothing and allows you to select as many photos as you like. It then pops up the real picker after and all subsequent times. This is a bug, will fix
