Changing exif data causes PG to exit album #68

Closed Nostang3 closed 6 years ago

Nostang3 commented 6 years ago

In my case, I'm sorting by tag and comparing photos. Since I'm sorting by date, I find some photos that I need to correct the capture date, and after doing so, when I pull to refresh, instead of the file moving to the new grouped month, it completely exits out of the album. I lose the tag filter and the the location of where I was at.

It would be nice, if PG could handle the exif data change gracefully adjust it's sorting without exiting the album.

At the moment, the app doesn't read exif again on existing images...it is done only through a media scan. It scans exif for newly added files automatically though. Either way, exiting the album is a little concerning.How did you edit the exif? I want to reproduce this scenario and see what happened.

I share the photo to an external application, as it's the quickest method to do so. I share it to Photo Exif Editor and I can quickly change the capture date and exit back into PG. Then after a few seconds it will exit the album.

Note: if I exit the album before PG does it for me then it doesn't do anything. If I swipe down to refresh, you can see PG create an album for the photo, then quickly delete and it will then be in the proper place in the album. I forgot to add a case for this issue.

Ok...I will look into that... Btw, it is not a big deal to add our own exif editing feature in the app. I'll look into having this in

I've changed the exif data on a few photos and PG no longer crashes. It doesn't see the new exif changes until a media scan is run.
