Doesnt matter what i write since you obviously dont still understand.. ive been using quickpic for the last 5 years and NEVER had problem with wmv... never... so what you write is just rubbish... i dont put any more energy in discuss this with you....
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Fine by me. I can't fix stupid anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
wmv format has been around since 2003, long before QP was around.

[Android Apps and Games] Clark Joseph Kent:
I see your frustration, but others are here to help and provide some ideas for a solution to your items. But to reply in a manner like this is not needed, a simple "thanks but I don't think that is the issue" is a better way to handle it. After all, you are the one with the issues and questions.

BTW been using this app with all the updates for so long, not even sure, probably since it first came out, works great for me, as far as vid, don't have many, so no worries in that area.
[Android Apps and Games] Artwork_DT:
I have used quickpic as an indispensable smartphone app for many years. I recently bought a new phone and installed this quickpic app, but these new versions of quickpic seem don't show .bmp photos and .wmv videos in the gallery of quickpic like before. I can still use other gallery app, or use file explorer to open those files with quickpic, but it still won't show up in quickpic's gallery.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
If you read the OP, this version of quickpic is built off of version 4.5.2 which is almost 10 years old. The versions you were using were the horrible Cheetah Mobile version that was updated more recently including all of cheetah mobile's nefarious Spyware and malware.
[Android Apps and Games] Artwork_DT:
The version of quickpic gallery on my old phone is version 7.5 I downloaded from this thread 1-2 years ago, also a mod from version 4.5 of quickpic, and it is capable of displaying all types of photos and videos in the gallery. Is there any way I can get that old version?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
For a while this app was built off the 5.0 update from cheetah mobile but that was too loaded with malware so it was rolled back to 4.5.2. Some newer file extensions have been added in but you need to remember this was made when jellybean came out. A lot of file extensions are not native to android and some devices use their own extensions and some can see all different types of extensions that most devices can't. A few posts back someone asked about WMV files which are windows movies, I can't see or view those at all on my pixel 6 pro.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
QP is older than Jellybean. I discovered QP when CM7 (Gingerbread) was released for my Incredible. I might still have the apks from then too.

I never liked wmv, but in the days before YouTube, this is what we had along with QuickTime, Real Media, DivX and other junk. I tried a few wmv's in QP, the audio works, but no video.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
This Modded version 4.5.2 was from Jellybean days. By lollipop it was already ruined by CM.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Sorry, I wasn't sure if you meant 4.5.2 specifically or just classic QP in general. I actually have only been using QP for video recently. Otherwise, I use MX Player. Seems to support a good deal of codecs.
[Android Apps and Games] manigma:
I am reporting this issue from last few versions including 8.11. 'Screen is not turning off when an image is open'.

By default my mobile screen turns off after 30 sec. But when an image is open in QP Gallery, the display remains on.

I have Oneplus 7T Pro on Android 10 (OxygenOS).
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I'm not familiar with your device - But I know that on Samsung there's a Setting in Display that you can use to keep the screen on while looking at videos / pictures etc. Is there something like that on your device? If I have it turned off on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V4.1 - the scam does turn off with QuickPic open.
[Android Apps and Games] manigma:
No its not that. Its just quickpic. It happens only when an image is open in QP gallery. I have an S9 (also running Android 10) and it has same issue. So I guess its a bug with QuickPic when using on Android 10.
[Android Apps and Games] Space_Entropy:
Hello everyone, it seems I've encoutered a bug? I can't see some videos in the "Moments" albums even though I've checked the option to show videos in the settings, but I can see them if I go to the folder section. I'm on Android 12 and the videos are just some mp4, no weird file format.

Edit: apparently new ones do show up in Moments, but old ones only show up in the folder section. Must have something to do with said mp4 encoding?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] erhanyavuz91:
Best application. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Space_Entropy:
Another big bug: a lot of pictures do not show up in "Moments" even though they show up in folders. Some are even used as thumbnail but when I go in the corresponding month album they're not here!

Edit: it's the same issue as this guy https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-app-gallery-quickpic-2022.3790425/page-89#post-87029057

Is there a fix please? That's the one feature I cannot find in other galleries apps...
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Because just like a moment they only last for a moment.... And then they're gone. I dunno, lol. Never used moments. May need to have location and sharing stuff turned on in your camera app for them to show? I would guess it needs certain info in the Metadata or whatever is stored within the image.
[Android Apps and Games] Space_Entropy:
Well the thing is, if these images show up in the thumbnail (of the right month too) that means the app can and does read the metadata. Plus these images do show up in their respective folders in the app, just not when I open any folder in Moments. The only images that show up in Moments are the ones in some DCIM folders but not the "screenshots" one for example. Very odd. (and of course there is nothing excluded in the settings, I made a fresh install, and even if I manually add every folder the issue stays the same)

That's stored within the image.

I'm not in China, and I test on my Pixel and SS S8 with international fw are the same result
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Were those images taken in China or using Chinese device or os? Do all your pics have them or just certain ones? Is there any connection the pics with the characters have?
[Android Apps and Games] binhminhluc9h:
I haven't devices or location relating to China, if I take pictures with location enable, it always show the same Chinese characters In spite of different locations

I'm using the last version before Cheetah messed QP up, 4.7.4 that I downloaded from APKMirror. I have one folder with 341 files that are in it. There are 4 .mpg files, and 337 .wmv files. Samsung MyFiles app and others show all of the files in the folder, but QP recognizes only the 4 .mp4s. In other folders, all .wmv files are recognized.

Suggestion box for mods to feature set of QuickPic Gallery QP by WSTxda:

.

QP QuickPic right-click long-press on the path under image details.

.

Is there a possibility to please add a right-click/long-press on the path under image details to be able to copy just the path to the clipboard, so it can be pasted into Total-Commander to enable rapid CD'ing into that image's directory, (sometimes, but mostly a long folder-path).

Awaiting in anticipation,
[Android Apps and Games] NekroMcFly:
AMAZING! 10/10

Since QuickPic not working correctly on modern phones I've been testing A LOT of gallery apps. All of them, honestly, sucks... with lots of bugs, lacks, lags, ads, unwanted functions, etc. Simple Gallery is ok, but also have ugly bugs and kind of slow and lags at times. This QP mod is just perfect. Insanely fast, no bugs (at last not for me), wifi direct build in, the folders, the options, the functions, the way you can zoom, the fast global searching, everything just as remember like the old QuickPic but even better. Love the transparency backgroung option. This app is 100 times better than Simple Gallery. This is just the best Gallery app for Android right now hands down. Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
"QuickPic not working correctly on modern phones"?? What are you talking about?

Works perfectly on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V4.1 - Or is that not "modern" enough?
[Android Apps and Games] 1iwilly:
hello just found this thread can you still hide folder with a pin like way back version 4.5.2 ??? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] solarifur:
Hey, I can't find my external SD storage & in the included/excluded folders?

When android updated back a few months ago the old app couldn't find my SD card folder anymore. Would just say sd card under root folder but that's actually the internal storage, not external storage. Normally it's under storage and labeled 864g-5832 or some kind of number like that.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
There might be another way - But I just make a Folder on the external sd card using a File Explorer - ie: Solid Explorer - Root Explorer etc.
[Android Apps and Games] solarifur:
Ive always been able to use file explorer to access my files, but using this app, any of its builds still doesnt work. Oddly enough if I dont use explorer mode they will all show up unorganized until i refresh the view. Even it will show me the file path of the external storage. But as soon as I refresh the view or go into explorer view, then it goes to that 3rd screenshot of some folders in my internal storage. A few other gallery apps don't have this problem of undetected sd card.
[Android Apps and Games] manigma:
:: SMALL BUG/ISSUE ::

Issue: I recently updated to Android 12.1 (Oxygen OS on Oneplus 7T Pro). Earlier when I used 'show hidden' to unhide the hidden albums, and than closed the app, the Hidden Albums went back hidden. But now, the hidden albums remain 'unhidden' unless I click 'hide hidden'.

Solution requested: The hidden albums should go back to hidden state when the app is closed.

Thanks.

I have the same issue on a Google Pixel 7 Pro.

Tried different versions but same result.
[Android Apps and Games] badflife:
Here the answer of the Developer.

I asked a friend who owns Pixel too, apparently the tensor 2 supports 32-bit ABIs, however Google removed the previous ABIs in Android 13 for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. This is sad because it's basically impossible to compile the app in 64bit without the source code (something I don't own)

So Pixel 7 users won't be able to use this mod.
[Android Apps and Games] Root737:
Thanks for the quick reply and clarification.

It's really a shame, I loved this mod and had I known this I would have thought twice before upgrading to the Pixel 7.

I really hope someone will find a workaround... 🤞

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
OK, just uninstall it. You're not forced to use it. The only reason to use Google photos is so pics are backed up to your Google account. If you don't want them backed up just uninstall Google photos or disable it in app settings
[Android Apps and Games] snoopyhaeckers:
Yes I Hope quick Pic Come with 64 bit
[Android Apps and Games] whatsisnametake2:
another vote here for a 64bit version!
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Hard to rebuild an app to work on a device 10 years after the app was made. Any version of Quickpic itself is not built for 64 bit. Maybe time to find a new gallery app. I suggest looking into the free file manager MiXplorer that has a built in gallery, video player, music player, etc. Lightweight and customizable. It's what google should be using instead of their bloated ecosystem of having 70 google apps eating up space and data.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
If you have read the thread you will have seen that the source code is not available so this will not happen.
[Android Apps and Games] gustden:
Sorry, didn't go back through all 93 pages.

It only looks like there is one binary file libqpicjni156.so (both arm and x86 ). Not sure if anyone has tried, but if I get some spare time I will see if I can decomple back into source. Hopefully ida or ghidra will work on this.
[Android Apps and Games] -CALIBAN666-:
Its nearly impossible to rebuilt this app for 64bit as you say and i say the same and im not a noob.

How to add Samba shares in 8.1.2 version? I had this option a while a go, but can't seem to find it anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] johnnyboy041:
This is marvelous. Amazing piece of work. Only two bugs though:

1. Album contents are not updated on every open. I need to manually close and open the app to see new files. (OG quickpic never had this problem)

2. This app reads DNG files very well when opened through file manager, but never seeks them and/or displays them in albums, which is a shame. Is there any way to force the app to scan for DNGs?

Both these bugs should be fairly easy to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Laliluloide:
I think this is a very good app, the only thing I find is missing is the ability to trim videos which is a standard feature in most apps recently and a very useful one, even better if it also allowed to change the resolution size.

I hope it gets implemented in the future
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
In a basic gallery app? Those seem to be advanced features of more complex apps.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Considering that the original QuickPic app - was originally released in 2012 (afaik) and subsequently purchased by Cheetah Mobile (ugh) - QuickPic Mod's Dev has been doing an amazing job of keeping it relevant & probably my favourite Gallery app - And with none of Malware / Spyware of the original since Cheetah, or the other clones on the Play Store.

Serious Respect to WSTxda! 🙇🏼👍🏻
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, we've been around far too long. 😂 But following the 1 thing that originally made Quickpic great, was to K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid. and WSTxda has done a fantastic job of updating and keeping a decade old app working. 👍🐻

[Android Apps and Games] breakingspell:
Is there any word on Samba/SMB support? If Samba isn't going to be supported going forward with new versions of the app, it should be stated out loud so we can seek alternatives for browsing photos on network storage.

Full disclosure, I have kept an 8.5 apk handy for ages in order to access the removed Cloud menu. Any time I clean flash my phone, I'll install 8.5 to set up my shares, then I update the app to whatever is the latest. SMBv1 may be deprecated, but there is no other gallery app that can navigate a network folder as fast as this app does. I'm not sure why the feature was hidden in the first place, when existing SMB shares still continue to work up to 8.12. Was there an internal issue with SMB that's not immediately obvious?

Now, the current betas remove existing shares entirely. K.I.S.S. principles aside, Samba support is a core feature of the app for me, and I would love to know if the feature will return without workarounds like these.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
All network connections are killed off because CM added data stealing malware to app. I suggest using an updated file explorer like MiXplorer that uses the most up to date and secure connections including all Samba versions.
[Android Apps and Games] breakingspell:
Interesting, I was under the impression this modded version of Quickpic was based on 4.5.2, with CM spyware purged at the earliest release.

Out of curiosity, I had logcat monitor while connecting to my SMB share using both versions 8.5 and 8.12, and I don't see any unexpected outbound connections or attempts, only the local IP of my NAS. I can't find a reference to this network malware in this thread or on Telegram, is there a specific post about it?

In the QP changelog, the stated reason for Cloud removal in 8.6 was that the "sync" feature was buggy and cluttered. 8.7.3's changes state "Fixed samba api (not available yet)", but it hasn't been mentioned in a release or comment since.

I now realize "sync" was a camera upload-esque feature, definitely not what I'm referring to: my use case is accessing remote photo archives on my NAS using the same interface and viewer as my local photos.

MiXplorer is excellent, but it is primarily a file manager and does not offer the seamless gallery experience that QP does. The native MiX image viewer does not share the hardcoded gestures of QP's native viewer, it displays adjacent images slower (QP seems to pre-load over network), and one cannot simply open the Samba location in MiX using QP's viewer and still swipe left/right: the images are loaded into temporary folders when using external viewers. Solid Explorer and other file managers operate the same way in my experience.

I use MiX very often for remote file operations, but not when I'm wanting to quickly pull up old family photos from my server and let my folks flip thru them. QP with SMB knocks this task out of the park.

One other solution I tested shortly after the 8.6 release: setting up a CIFS/NFS filesystem mount that QP gallery can access "locally". Certainly not ideal as this requires root to set proper permissions on the mount, and requires effort to automate, but it did work for me during that test.

I'm really wanting to sit down and pick through the portions of QP's innards that we can see considering the closed source, and find out what it would take to help with safely reimplementing Samba.
