I have a weird problem I was wondering if anyone could help me out. So I've been using regular Quick Pic for years now and recently folders are just going in random sort order. Basically how it used to work I would have it set by date or date taken and if I would delete a photo from a folder it would then put that folder on top since it was modified (the same way you can do that on a pc) recently it stopped doing this and several times a day my folders sort randomly. I uninstalled quickpick tried some other apps and then tried this version of quickpic, I thought it was fixed but apparently not. The only thing I did before this started was cleared cache and data in a few apps to free up some space. This happened once before and I don't remember if I resolved it or if it just fixed itself but it stopped for awhile... Any ideas what could be wrong?

Why I got this square boxes on every image with flat surface? Is there some way to fix this? I'm using Mi 10 Xiaomi, Android 10, and in google gallery everything is fine. On parts of image where you have details everything is fine.

I'm suddenly getting an awful bug with quickpic where if I rename a file stored on the SD card, the thumbnail turns black and then the file is GONE. Straight up disappears. I just lost a very important video finding this out. Its really ****ing irritating to be honest.

This was on version 4.5.2, but I just found and tried this xda version 8.2 and it's doing the same damn thing. Other apps are allowing me to rename files fine.... I'm on android 9, Tab S6.

Anyone else have this problem? I hate to have to get rid of quickpic because there is no other gallery that can do the same things, but this is obviously a dealbreaker.

Any way to add write permission for external sd card? I used to be able to create folders to move pictures to after granting access to the external card, but the card is never detected by app, and permission never requested. Android 11, Samsung galaxy s20 ultra. TIA
[Android Apps and Games] schoolpizza:
I already gave Quickpic permission to write to SD... it asks the first time you try to write something. I should add that the batch renaming function works fine, it's only the single file rename that is deleting files.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I just move the images to external sd card with Root Explorer. But Yeah.
[Android Apps and Games] schoolpizza:
Yeah, I never had the issue until just recently. Very weird. I've just been renaming files in rootexplorer for now.

hello to all users, sorry for the lack of activity. :(

I am currently unable to keep updates for personal reasons. I ask for the understanding of all of you, I'm sorry for "abandoning" you from the topic at XDA. I have little time to deal with questions, so if something is urgent send me an email.

i am aware of some problems in a11 like persistent sqlite toast, and i found a temporary solution

on the computer:

1 - install adb drivers

2 - open terminal

3 - connect your device in USB debug mode

3 - run command adb shell mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/com.alensw.PicFolder/

this creates the folder where the entire cache is allocated in the device storage, this causing many problems to be solved in a11.

remove quickpic to force dark theme list in miui dark theme options
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
quickpic does not run in the background, but uses a lot of process memory when a transfer or rendering activity is performed (wifi transfer, move, copy files) this uses hardware acceleration for greater efficiency. so if you use a lot of these features it will show up on the battery usage chart.

I'm not sending your personal data to Chinese advertising companies lol

[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
That's weird! I've been using QuickPic (not the Play Store version) for years - S7 through to my S20 Ultra & never had any issues with installing it.

And you are certain that you uninstalled QuickPic completely before trying to install the latest version?

Here's the link to QuickPic's Telegram Group & you'll be able to get more help there.

Report to Google and their scoped storage bs
[Android Apps and Games] xdehh:
v8.3 is not displaying image exif GPS info / coordinates in the image details, nor on the image screen info. Image details shows or repeats useless "unnamed road" for landscape image info where there was no "address" and does not show GPS coordinates, saved as either decimal or degree formats but repeats EXIF "address" field, which again is unnamed road or "region". Address field is useless info outside of cities or towns compared to an exact GPS coordinate. I have never used, wanted or cared for the Exif Address field yet every image gallery wants to show it first. We don't all live or photograph in cities.

A Bug? And can an option for exif info be selected to be displayed on file info below the image as well as in Image Details, though the latter is cumbersome just for GPS coordinates?

Thank you.

Using Version 8.3 on Android 11. How do I add the external SD card to the list of included folders? When I click + it takes me to "root > storage > emulated > 0" which is the internal SD card. If I click on storage, it doesn't show any folders in there to click on. I tried searching under root as well but I can't seem to find the folder for the external SD
[Android Apps and Games] manigma:
You don't need to select any folders. Just click OK/Select button. Thats how it worked for me.

SERIOUS QuickPic Gallery 8.3 bug with Android 11.

If I crop a photo on my SD card with QuickPic Gallery and then use QuickPic to move the cropped photo to a different folder on the SD card, the photo just DISAPPEARS. As far as I can tell, this only happens if you crop a photo and only on the SD card. I have lost numerous photos before discovering this bug.

I first tried to report this on the WSTxda chat on Telegram, but when I tried to access the chat, it said that an admin had banned me. There is absolutely no reason for me to be banned, I am not sure I have even ever used that chat channel before. This is a particular kick in the teeth, since I have gone out of my way to assist people in this thread, due to my prior love for this app. (n)
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
what images are visible should be controlled by the OS's Media scanner. Have you checked that your External SD Card has been scanned?
[Android Apps and Games] emko7:
I don't want all my images to be visible, only a few select folders, some on the internal SD, some on the external. Also I only use explorer mode as my pictures have a folder hierarchy that I would like to maintain.

So I've tried adding storage/emulated/0 to my included folders, which works fine, but now I have no way to add my pictures folder from the external SD. If I add the root directory "storage/" to included folders, then it stops showing me any photos at all!

I'm currently investigating Simple Gallery and A+ Gallery as an Android 11 replacement for QuickPic.
[Android Apps and Games] bemanet:
I can't provoke your problem. I also have Android 11 and QPG 8.3
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
You cropped a photo on your external SD card with QuickPic, then moved (not copied) the cropped photo to another folder on the external SD card? I just confirmed again multiple times on my Galaxy S10e that the cropped photo disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The media scanner has the .nomedia file to stop selected paths from being scanned. I personally found it to be a bit hit and miss, and when I want to control what is included and where and as what, I update the media db directly. NB: I am rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] emko7:
Even if I do that way and use the media scanner method instead of included folders it still won't show any of the folders from my external SD card if I have Explorer mode selected. So I'm unable to browse by folder hierarchy.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
check your media db. You sound like you are confusing an explorer style mode with the media scanner. They are NOT one in the same or related in any real way. The media scanner should scan your folders, so that you dont have to use any explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] aida_lover:
i do have exactly the same behaviour with QuickPic Gallery 8.3. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (no SD card) on Android 11. It is possible to move pictures from one folder to another but if you crop one picture and want to move it to another folder it disappears. Copy it and remove the original worked out....

Furthermore I have a virus warning (Win 10) when download: 8.3 Alternative.apk

no virus warning when download: 8.2 Alternative.apk or QP Gallery 8.3.apk
[Android Apps and Games] manigma:
I can confirm there is no virus in the apk. Checked with both Windows Defender and Android Kaspersky. There could be another trojan in your pc, so pls fully scan your pc.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
Unfortunately, I just renamed a photo on my SD Card using QuickPic and it disappeared, leaving a space that said invalid file. Erratic, but it seems using QuickPic for any sort of file operations on Android 11 is taking a risk. And WSTxda is silent on the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Is this not an A11 issue? From other threads (app threads) I've seen that a re-install works as you then need to give QP permissions to access the sdcard again. Maybe go into Android settings for the app and remove permissions and grant them again. Does that help at all? (Not on A11 so just going by what I've read elsewhere).
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
Thanks, the thing is that I have no problem accessing the SD card with QuickPic on Android 11, that is where almost all of my photos are stored, I am just having some repeatable and some erratic issues with photos disappearing when I perform an operation on them with QuickPic.

I am unclear on how SD card access differs on 11 (scoped storage, but I don't understand that yet), but someone in this thread said they couldn't find their SD card with QuickPic and I checked and couldn't find a path to my SD card either, despite the fact that QuickPic seemed to know where it was from Android 10.

UPDATE: Having read up on scoped storage in Android 11, it is my understanding, which may be incorrect, that an app must request permission for every folder that it accesses, you can't just grant SD card access. Quickpic has never requested any folder access that I can remember since my phone updated to Android 11. The permission for QuickPic shows 'allow management of all files' selected (vs 'deny').
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I've been sticking with the old navigation buttons on my previous phones. I'm trying out gestures on my new phone. I can't crop images with the gestures. Anytime I try to adjust the cropper from left or right, I end up going back instead. Is there a way around this?
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
So have you tried 'turning it off then on again', that is denying all permissions then re-allowing them under A11? Also, if that doesn't work, try reinstalling from scratch to see if A11 then allows you access?
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
QuickPic was updated to 8.3.1. I denyed storage access. Quickpic asked for generic storage access, did not request access to individual folders or all folders as I would expect for Android 11. Moving a clipped photo from an SD folder to another SD folder still causes it to disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] dron39:
Tried to connect v8.3 to Google Drive but it's not finished and some eroor message appears like UNREGISTERED_ON_API_CONSOLE.

[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
So with my OP6T on Android 9, webp images show up in the gallery. On my OP8T on Android 11, the webp images don't appear. I can still open them in gallery from a file manager though. I wonder what the difference is. All settings in QP are identical on both devices.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
The last time I attempted to join the chat it said I was banned, but I tried again and it let me join. I have no idea what the paperplane federation is.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
My guess is that what is visible in an app "as an image" is determined and flagged by the media scanner. Each app does not scan your whole device for images individually, the OS does this beforehand. How the media scanner operates has changed in the last few iterations of Android.

Are you rooted? If you are rooted on both devices, you can investigate to see the differences on how the media scanner has recorded/flagged these files differently on each device.
[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
Hi, sorry for off topic but I'd like to know how to do this.

I know that different devices/OSes can have different file types to be considered media files but never know how to check it.

Thank you.

There is in pie, but only if you have the originial galerie also installed.

Open a picture from the filemanager and normaly the system asked you, with what you will open it.

There you can tell only for one time or ever.
[Android Apps and Games] Heinz_P:
The problem is, that QP uses smb 1 and this is not supported by the most devices, because it is unsafe.

I tell my NAS to support smb 1 too and than it works.
[Android Apps and Games] lamp159:
Same here. This app stopped showing folders with .WEBP files. (and webp files in folders with other file's format) However, it can open them individually e.g. from a file manager.

Other gallery apps see the folders with WEBP files without issues.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Heinz_P:
I enable smb1 support on my FB 7490 and everything is fine.

The problem is, you delete the stock gallery, so the system has nothing to ask. If yo have two gallerys, the system will asked you with what you will open, than you can tell qp and say do it for ever.

I've been using QuickPic for a long time. I noticed that when I zoom in on a high-resolution photo, this approximate part of the photo is blurred for a moment. I didn't notice this in the Simple Gallery app.

I wonder if the Android version has an impact on this.
[Android Apps and Games] Yippee-ki-yay:
When I used it, it also happened to me.
[Android Apps and Games] xdehh:
V8.3.3 on Android 10 had initial "load fail" after cropping an image. Cropped image blank. Original okay. Cropping SLOW, 8-10 secs to crop a 7 MB and 1 MB test images.

Able to access SD card and test edit and save to SD card but VERY SLOW, never was in pre v7.8.

Also no GPS Coordinates displayed in details, only "address" field, which is ridiculous for locations (all of mine) with no address. Only want decimal GPS Coordinates, as saved by camera app option. Can't get QP to show GPS info on display or image details. Can't be that difficult to configure "... if no address show GPS data ...." or better yet a separate image GPS Coordinates details field AND user selectable which Exif to show.

Also wish QP had option as to what image info to display vs no options and only minor info. Would prefer more Exif and choices as to what to display.

FWIW, I can move files to and from internal to SD and back without problems on Android 10, with QP v8.3.3 Beta.

I'm more or less moving on to the paid F-Stop Gallery, they have a free version as well and decent enough. Has more options, user controls, tags so exif is carried over to PC DAM software too. It needs a bit more work but the developer is responsive. QP used to be a small, reliable gallery app but I don't need to join Telegram / another forum just to do that.

Simple Gallery Pro is also free on F-Droid and updated but not as small as QP Gallery, though it has many more customizations but also some useless bloat and bling.
