Long-press on a folder to reveal a menu offering folder operations

The app has 3 ways to upload new pictures, one of them is the "custom picker". The custom picker has an activity that shows a list of folders:

The present issue is about that custom picker's folders list activity.

The idea is to implement long-press on a folder to reveal a menu offering folder operations:

Phase 1:

• Open the folder in another app (just launch an intent, Android should hopefully suggest available file explorers and gallery apps).

Phase 2:

• Mark all pictures currently in this folder as "Not for upload".

Phase 3:

• Always ignore this folder (which makes it greyed out, with 🚫 overlay icon, shown at the end next time the picker is opened)
• Un-ignore if the folder if it is the "Ignored" state.

These use cases are very good but I don't think the user wants to open the folder in another app when the user can open it just by clicking. However, other features are great :)

Opening the folder in a file manager may reveal other files, such as videos (which can be uploaded via other means), and possibly memo text files which might add useful context to the pictures.

Okay, now I got it :+1:

Hi, Can I please be assigned this issue

[rohit9625]

Well currently the custom selector is in xml and I am working on migrating it to the jetpack compose. So, any changes will be redundant as for now. If you want to work on this feature then you can do so after the migration. I will open a draft PR for that shortly.

Kindly look for issues unrelated to custom selector.

What do you think @nicolas-raoul ?

@rohit9625 Sounds good! Would you mind pinging LachlanMajor here after the merge? :-)

[rohit9625]

Sure, I will ping @LachlanMajor after migration. 🙂
