Maybe I should file a bug report, but somebody might know how to solve this puzzle.
Signal does not show any pictures taken by official jolla camera (shows a black thumbnail instead). Pictures taken in Advanced Camera works ok screenshots works ok, those made by android apps also show their thumbnail in signal internal viewer. But not jolla pictures.
I have changed user/group to media_rw (mentioned somewhere in other topic), moved file to android DCIM folder, no effects.
When I try to attach such picture, signal restarts.
I have attached screenshot with Signal’s picture selection - all entries are black…
Your post inspired me to do an experiment - when I changed aspect ratio for a picture from 16:9 → 4:3, the picture appeared in signal.
Seems like “wide” pictures have something signal can’t read for some reason.
Seems like this topic treats about the same problem, so moving
there:
In my xa2 plus I have the same phenomenom but vice versa with the cameras. Pictures taken with Advanced Camera don’t show and trying all the same with copy, cut, paste and attaching such file Signal restarts. Also for pictures with changed aspect ratio in cam settings, no difference.
Another experience: sharing a picture from Gallery to Signal creates message in Signal “multiple attachments are only supported for images and videos”, and sharing fails.
