All images shared are stored in 'RiotX Pictures'

[ordinarygulp]

Sharing an image, gif, or anything similar to RiotX, stores that image into a folder on the device, usually with multiple versions being saved. This then propagates into gallery apps, which can be unhelpful and spam-like

Yes, I've noticed that too.
I assume it's due to the lib com.kbeanie:multipicker
I check that

I would argue there should be a guide somewhere where people get informed about actions they have to do like in this particular situation to go to their gallery and remove the folder RiotX Pictures from the gallery

[ordinarygulp]

Removing items from gallery every time I share a few images on RiotX is hardly a solution

[dreamerchris]

other solution I see is to add a file that is .nomedia or something like that that prevents most galleries from inserting the images from that folder

[ordinarygulp]

Yes that could be a temporary solution. There's really no reason for RiotX to be storing images shared to a server channel though. Let alone storing multiple versions of it.

I was not refering to images but to the folder, in xiaomi as an example there is the main screen that shows the images from folders that are selected to be viewed. so if the folder RiotX Pictures is in those folders that show in the gallery app it should be excluded.

I agree that it is troublesome for the user to go to each gallery app and do that but I was argueing in a more general sense that there should be a guide that would point actions that a user should do in particular things that are by products of the app itself, but I should propably make another "issue"/proposal about that

yeah I would like such functionality myself like: save all images that are shared in your rooms and 1:1 chats in the folder of your choice

but yeah it should be an addon, and if its default it should be somehow hidden/encrypted

imagine someone sending a nsfw image in a channel you are and then it gets into RiotX Pictures and then your boss wants to see your screenshot of something and you open the gallery and there it is the nsfw picture that was shared seconds ago!

Hi, just wanted to say that I have the same issue. If there is a quick fix that we can do by ourselves, I'm more than interested.

Is this still actual? While I saw this sometime ago I can't reproduce this

I don't have this problem anymore thanks

We implemented our own multipicker library which fixes the problem.
