Only 1 file sends to a gallery app: I can't swipe to next one?

Post by *ko42 »

I have a folder with images. Before (I don't know old version of the tc or android) I just open any image in viewer (i mean from tc) and could swipe between them. Now when I open a image I have no ability to swipe to next one. Like only this image is sent to a viewer.

Any option to fix it? Galaxy s23, tried standard gallery and Google photos.

That's because Google no longer wants apps to send file URLs to other apps. Instead apps need to send content URLs, which only point to the data of a file, not to the file in the file system. Most apps also no longer accept file URLs as a parameter. You can check whether your viewer still supports file URLs:
1. Long click on the file name of an image file
2. Click on "Open with"
3. Check the checkbox "file://url" at the top
4. Click on the viewer

Unfortunately on my Galaxy S10e this also only opens a single image when launching the Gallery or Photos app, you can't browse through them.
