[Enhancement] Decent Photo Picker. (Albums UI as picker)

As an user, i wish there was a better photo picking UI for picking photos on Apps like Discord.

The current picker UI has a terrible UX, and thats the only thing that's keeping from using it as my main gallery app. Everything else feels perfect.

Unlike other gallery apps like WST's QuickPic and Google's Gallery Go, this one's photo picker defaults to "all pictures", and the albums are just some tiny chips on top of the screen that you can scroll. These chips aren't even sorted alphabetically nor by date, making it even worse to find your album. and if you have too many albums, you'll take a really long time scrolling and trying to find it. You can't even find your favorites.

Here's a comparison with WST's QuickPic and Google's Gallery Gonphoto picker:

I wish the picker UI was the Albums UI from this app, which is simply perfect. and not this chips thing with no albums thumbnails or anything else.

The only good thing about it is that you can choose multiple pictures. QuickPic only allows choosing one at a time.

Photo picker UI could be something like this:
