Added MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORE to manifest. This way gwc-files can be accessed when on API 30 or higher. The permission needs to be set manually on my S10 under settings. Caution: According to the Google Playstore policy that means that the app will be further evaluated by Google.

Sadly this is not a viable solution. Google won't allow this (only file managers and some other special apps might request this permission), on the other hand the implementation between different ROMs can vary. If things would be so easy we would have done it already.

We need to have scoped storage implemented... This change is no option.
