Affected app version

1.1.1

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 10

Affected device model

Motorola moto e7 Power

How did you install the app?

GitHub releases

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open the Fossify Gallery app.
2. Click on the 3 dots on the top right.
3. Click on "Settings".
4. Scroll down to "SECURITY" and enable "Password protect the whole application".
5. Exit the gallery app.
6. Open a photo viewing app that does NOT have a built in gallery ( e.g. Simple Camera, Fossify File Manager )
7. Click on a picture

Expected behavior

It should ask for the PIN code in order for the photos/videos taken to be seen, and if not entered correctly further access should not be allowed.

Actual behavior

It directly opens the folder's contents, and the "ENTER PIN" overlay is only shown when trying to delete a photo/video ( if "Password protect file deletion and moving" is enabled ).

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Here is a video where I show the bug using the Camera app. It also happens when using the file manager, or basically any app that does not have a built in gallery and depends on the default gallery app.

Additional information

• If the "Password protect file deletion and moving" option is enabled, it will be respected.

• I have tested with both Gallery apps ( Fossify and SMT latest release ) and both have the same issue.

Yes Its a must needed feature... At least while opening via cross app, opening settings menu must be restricted.!!
Thanks

• App will be locked after 30 seconds when closed using any other gesture or method.
