Affected app version

1.0.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

GrapheneOS 14

Affected device model

Pixel 6A

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Go to app settings
  2. Select Save recordings in
  3. Try to select any directory outside of Internal > Music or Internal > Android

Expected behavior

Able to see, enter, or otherwise select directories within Internal (e.g. Internal > Sync > recordings).

Actual behavior

Cannot select anything outside of those directories

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

I have a directory in Internal/Sync/recordings that I would like to use as that Sync directory is synced across my devices.

My suspicion is that it is to do with the app not having permissions to view other directories, but I cannot find a way to trigger requesting the permission and I cannot manually grant any permission relating to storage.

If I try to create a Sync directory within the app (by using the + button), the app correctly gives the error that the directory already exists (even though it can't list it).

Probably this bug has the same root cause on GrapheneOS as this one from Calendar: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Calendar/issues/101.

Thanks for linking that! I agree that the issue appears to be the same.

Closing in favor of general bug report for all apps: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues/211. The report is about a backup location, but the general root cause is the same and will be fixed at the same time.

Similar issue but it's GrapheneOS: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fossify/comments/1i4hl2n/question_from_a_newbie_is_there_a_way_to_select/

I have this bug on stock Android on my Samsung Galaxy A54.

@Kreuger Is it running Android 15?

@WilliamSilva-t that's a known issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues/211

@Kreuger Is it running Android 15?

No. Android 14.

Reopening since this seems to be a different issue from https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues/211

More context:

This might be solved by https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues/131 if it is done right.

FWIW, I have my backups on a microsd card. So I dont know if that is the issue.
