Good to know, a bit weird that we have to actually create the file and check its path from there when the file can be opened with the name, but idk, Android stuff

Hi, unfortunately the issue was fixed just for the PickerType.Image(), because with the PickerType.File() the issue is the same.

My launcher is this:

// launcher to pick files
val launcher = rememberFilePickerLauncher(mode = PickerMode.Multiple()) { files ->
files?.forEach { asset ->
     val file = asset.path
   }            
 }

I dont know if the problem is related also whether the mode is PickerMode.Multiple or PickerMode.Single

Hi! I'm not able to reproduce your issue. Can you provide more details about your config:

• Android version
• Phone model
• Where are the files you're trying to access? (Documents folder, Google Drive, ...?)
• What are their extensions? (png, docx, ...?)
• By using the emulator and the same project, are you still having your issue?
• Would be great to send us a simple project where you can reproduce the issue

Thanks for your help 🙏

Hi, for sure! I'm using the emulator device Pixel 3aL on Android 14 (API 34). The problem occurs when the file picked is anyway an image, but chosen from the file manager instead of the picker where you can chose only the images or video from the gallery. The extension should be .jpg. With these details and the launcher setup can you reproduce the same scenario I have in my project or you need more specific code?

I used the sample-compose of this repository to try reproducing the issue. Here are the steps I tried:

• In the App.kt, I added your launcher triggered by a new button and inside the forEach, I printed the path of the assets.
• I created a fresh new emulator Pixel 3a XL - API 34
• In the emulator, I went to Google Chrome and downloaded some images from unsplash.com
• I launched the sample on the emulator
• I clicked on the new button and I selected 2-3 images from the "file manager"
• I saw the paths in the console without any issues

path = /data/user/0/io.github.vinceglb.sample.compose/files/tanya-yarosh-ErnAQXPG2ns-unsplash.jpg
path = /data/user/0/io.github.vinceglb.sample.compose/files/juan-antonio-guzman-MjYYImZjfpE-unsplash.jpg

Do you have any other information that can help us reproduce the issue?

Have you tried also to create a File with that Path? Because me too saw that path, but when I needed to create a file that error occured, I meant the same of the other issue
