Downloaded files will be saved under Android/data directory on Android13
When downloading images and videos, they are saved in
/storage/emulated/Android/data/com.ensoft.imgurviewer/files/Download
instead of
/storage/emulated/Download.
[App version] 2.3.7 (download from Google Play)
[Environment] Android13 (ZenUI and MyOS, this occurs in both)
On MyOS, this phenomenon occurred from the first installation.
On ZenUI, I was able to save it to /storage/emulated/Download until I initialized the app, probably because the settings had been migrated through data transfer.
Sorry but I don't have Android 13 and honestly I don't download anything with the app, so I never felt the need to fix it, this application is maintenance-mode, I'll basically fix what I feel the need to fix because I need it, but I'm not interested in continue working actively on the application for several reasons, but the main reason is that I don't like the road that Google took with Android, for example on this bug, this happened because Google changed all the permissions levels and directory access for the applications, I you want to have write access to a more "public" directory you'll have to request permission to Google before uploading a new version to the Play Store, I think this is kind of crazy, I don't agree and I'll not actively fight against this horrendous decisions by Google, we should strive for a more open mobile OS, meanwhile I'll not waste time fixing "bugs" that are not actually bugs but direct design decisions from Google. If anyone is willing to send a PR that fixes the issue I'm more than willing to accept it, but meanwhile this is it for ImgurViewer, I'm focusing on other projects right now and I don't have enough time to take care of this one.
@SpartanJ well that's a bummer. Thanks for the app tho, I've been using it for quite a while. Hopefully someone will pick it up.
You might add permission MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to your manifest, as long as you do not want to publish on GooglePlay.
Request all-files access An app can request all-files access from the user by doing the following:
Declare the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest. Use the ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION intent action to direct users to a system settings page where they can enable the following option for your app: Allow access to manage all files.
