This is exactly what mine did on both files and gallery, originally transfered completed from SMT, don't understand what happened? Picture is almost black even though dark mode is off! Android 13 Motorola Edge 2021 uninstalled file's because it didn't work at all

@VoidWa Hi! How are you adding this file? Any chance you are adding it through adb push?

[naveensingh]

@Aga-C were you able to reproduce this one?

[Aga-C]

@naveensingh No, I wasn't able.

[naveensingh]

Ok

@VoidWa Hi! How are you adding this file? Any chance you are adding it through adb push?

Hi. No, I don't use adb push. I download files from the internet from a browser or send them from a computer to a smartphone via kde connect. I also tried to take a new photo and video, but I see the same problem.

@VoidWa ok, thanks. I'll investigate it further.

This only happens on Nougat and below versions so I'm not sure if fixing this is worth the effort as it works fine for around 95% of the currently active devices. The storage tab was supposed to be disabled on Nougat and below versions.

I'll leave this open just in case somebody else wants to fix this. Useless link: SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager#764

I'm not sure if fixing this is worth

I don’t even know what to answer to this.

@VoidWa You didn't have to close the issue. The bug doesn't stop existing because of what I said. Here are my reasons:

• Fixing it isn't as simple as flipping a switch.
• We are running on limited resources so we can't fix every bug and implement every feature right away.
• This affects only a small number of devices, a number that is getting lower every day so it's not a priority (at least for me).
