[BUG] WhatsApp/Media/*/ containing no images or folders
Any subfolder of WhatsApp/Media/ is showing as containing no files when clicked, though there are clearly files present.
No errors are thrown, and when copying WhatsApp Images (the entire folder) from the WhatsApp/Media/ folder, the folder copied as expected, including all images and subfolders. This holds for any of the folders present in the WhatsApp/Media/ folder.
Using android 9 on Motorola Moto g6 plus.
in the bottom right corner, there is a small button that will show debug console
could you try looking into there if it prints the contents of the whatsapp folder in there?
In the debug console it should look similar to this:
I cant unfortunately test it myself because whatsapp doesnt use that folder anymore on android 11+ phones
I have the same problem, here's the relevant debug part:
adb shell ls "/sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/"

WhatsApp Stickers
WhatsApp Video
WhatsApp Voice Notes
fastchecking if "/sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media//WhatsApp Images" is a folder: False
fastchecking if "/sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media//WhatsApp Stickers" is a folder: False
fastchecking if "/sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media//WhatsApp Video" is a folder: False
fastchecking if "/sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media//WhatsApp Voice Notes" is a folder: False
Yup. I did the same thing and it gave a different output in the console now, but still no files are found. Output above was with compatibily enabled, output below is with compatibility disabled (I have Android 14).

As the others reported, no files are shown in either case. Let me know if I can provide anything else!
The bug seems to happen to me only when the path contains spaces. All folders "Whatsapp Images", "Whatsapp videos" etc contain a space. I've checked some other local paths and whenever it contains a space, if I access that folder ADBFileManager shows "no files" in it. Although there are. Maybe it's related to some kind of space-escaping problem in the adb command?
yeah it was inproper space escaping
the directory was escaped with just "
adding ' fixed the issue
fixed in v1.9 @ChrisRahme @Beastelson @angelbla https://github.com/T0biasCZe/AdbFileManager/releases/tag/v1.9
Feel free to reopen the issue if the issue sometimes still occurs (I tested only on Android 4.4 with compatibility mode, however it should be fixed on newer android versions too)
