[Release notes] Struven ketju 4.5.0.16
#2

Reproducible on X10II with 4.2.0.21.

#3

Same for me on my XA2 plus. Clearly a regression, doesn’t happend on my other XA2plus running 4.1

#4

Apparently bugg still active on 4.3.0.12. Doesnt crash but cant open gallery opens just a blank sheet

#5

Thanks for the report @margaritv, and for the update @linuxbychoice. I can still reproduce this on 4.4.0.72, so I’ve created an internal issue for it and tagged it here as “tracked”.

The underlying issue appears to be that the voicecall-ui app requires the MediaIndexing and UserDirs permissions for the image picker to work. Adding these seems to fix it for me.

I’ve created a PR to add these permissions which is now in review, so hopefully this will be fixed in the next major release.

Confirming; adding the two permissions to the .desktop file fixes the issue for me (X10III, 4.4.0.72)

Slightly offtopic: disappearing avatars is normal.for me.

my avatars should come from nextcloud, but i have to reselect them locally, else they are invisible.

also png seems to work less then jpegs

#8

We’ve committed changes to add the permissions, so this should mean the issue will be fixed in the next update. I’ll tag this issue as “fixed”, with thanks again to everyone for the input.

@pawel.spoon, it does sound like that’s a separate issue (i.e. not likely to be fixed by these changes), albeit no less important. Can I request that you create a new report about what you’re experiencing, if there isn’t one already? Keeping it in a separate topic will make it much easier to track.

It fixes the issue for images located in the dirs that the UserDirs permission enables. It still shows “Ups, nie można wyświetlić miniatury” (and if clicked “Ups, nie można wyświetlić obrazu”), i.e. “Could not display thumbnail / image” for image files located outside of those directories. I understand that the policy is to not allow images outside of those UserDirs, but if so then it would look much better if it was filtering them out (i.e. not showing them at all on the filepicker grid) rather than showing lots of placeholders with the “Couldn’t display thumbnail” text.
