Folders ending with image extensions show up as blank pictures in the gallery

Open xheonin opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Device Info:

  • Android 11 (Lineage OS)
  • Xiaomi Mi 9T / K20
  • Rooted (Magisk)
  • Simple Gallery Pro 6.22.3 (F-Droid)

Description: If a folder's name ends with an image extension (eg .png) then this folder appears in the gallery as a blank (transparent/invisible?) picture. This occurs whether the folder contains files or not.

To reproduce:

  • Create a folder in any place in the filesystem (eg. ~/Pictures) and add an image extension at the end (eg. TestFolder.png)
  • Open Simple Gallery Pro and refresh the gallery
  • Observe a blank image show up with the folder's name

Expected behaviour: The folder does not show up in the gallery.

guess the app thinks that it is a portrait, try toggling Portrait at the top Menu -> Filter if anything changes.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I checked the filtering settings and Portraits were already disabled. I also tried disabling the rest one by one out of curiosity, but nothing changed (except for when I disabled images of course, which caused the blank images to disappear).
