Feature description

Add an intent to browse media

Why do you want this feature?

For example, in Open Camera (popular alternative camera app), if you tap the button to access the gallery but haven't yet taken a photo (empty directory), it'll try to open an app that can browse media. Since this intent doesn't seem to exist in Fossify Gallery, it doesn't isn't one of the apps available to open in.

On the other hand, once you've taken at least one photo within Open Camera and tap the gallery button, it successfully opens it in Fossify Gallery.


See the screen recording from the Open Camera app at the following URL to better understand what I'm referring to: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/assets/94257099/9b7484f1-aa13-4321-afef-d3b8e7417a92

At first, I tap on the gallery button (lower right) and since there's no media in the directory yet, it tries to open a media browser. However, Fossify Gallery isn't an available destination.

Then, I take a photo, and tap the gallery button again. This time, it opens Fossify Gallery as intended.
