the code (##1234##) doesn't work on my phone, is there anything that i forgot? i also checked the permissions and everything's good. am i missing something? opening the app from the playstore or app settings doesn't work (guess that's a feature). is there a way to open the app again without the number or deleting it? i didn't even get to make a backup :(

My pictures are important and i don't wanna lose em, i even deleted them from my phone completely( exept Photok)

With your last release, you decided to add a license dialog. Unfortunately, you chose play-services-oss-licenses – which drags in proprietary libraries: GMS. That will make it impossible for F-Droid to update to this version, as it violates the inclusion policy.

Luckily, there are some alternatives available (if you know more, suggestions are welcome). Matching the license of your app (Apache 2.0), LicensesDialog may be a good choice. So may I suggest switching to that?

I see a release, but no way for a non-dev to "get the app". Could you make the (signed) APK available – eg. by attaching it to the release? Thanks in advance!

Describe the bug When importing photos from the android sharing system, all photos get imported twice.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the phone photo gallery.
2. Select some photos (or only one)
3. Use the sharing system and choose Photok
4. The import dialog of photok already shows the double amount of pictures
5. Every photo gets imported twice

Expected behavior Every photo should get imported only once.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Samsung Galaxy A51
• OS: Android 12
• Version 1.3.5

Appeared also on another phone with Android 9.

Thank you for the app!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Secret code doesn't work with android devices not on a metered connection. Not sure if intended behavior or not.

Describe the solution you'd like Describe alternatives you've considered Use the calculator to launch instead of dialer, or more thorough instructions on how to configurate the dialer.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really a problem but just for more stealth and privacy.

Describe the solution you'd like For even more Stealth some apps give the option to hide the Icon of the app as if it is not installed and it can be opened by dialing a code on the phone dialer app which then brings the vault app and ask for password like normal. So if a phone is shared the other user won't even know that there is a Photok Installed unless he make a deep inspection :)

Additional context I am aware that this not really something to prioritize but in the future it would be nice addition to Photok

Updated today because of that but still the same. I can't view a picture in full size. Everything is alright in the gallery view. Android 11 here on MIUI 12.5. If I can provide something please ask.

Description:

• Import Videos.
• New Import Menu

Checklist:

• [x] New Import Menu
• [x] Import Videos
• [x] Create video thumbnails
• [x] Add icon for videos in galery grid
• [x] Add Video Player
• [x] Adjust image viewer to show a preview of the video
• [x] Refactor ImageViewer to be a fragment too. Last step to single activity
• [x] Add share to Photok filter for videos
• [x] Implement buffered loading

I have some features you could find intersting and they would enhence Photok a lot :

- Shake your phone to close Photok in a hurry : This would come handy if you want to quickly close the app

- Support Password attempts and option to delete the encrypted database if n attempts are reached

- Support Fake Passcode and show fake content when you input fake passcode : just if forced to show the content hhh

Hope you find some of this propositions interesting... anyway thanks for giving us Photok the much needed open source vault :)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is hard to find pictures of a person when scrolling through hundreds of pictures while most of which are memes.

Describe the solution you'd like A face recognition feature and then tagging images with faces and names assigned to those faces would be great. Along with that, a separate tab for list of detected faces would be marvelous.

Describe alternatives you've considered Gallery Go(a gallery app by Google) does a pretty good job at it.

Additional context Picasa3D on Windows was an amazing piece of software which I use till date despite being deprecated by Google. It does all the processing locally. I wanted same features of tagging and removing tags of faces to fix false positives manually. I couldn't find a good app for that in Android market that worked offline. Then GalleryGo came to rescue. But that app despite being minimal and doing the work. Doesn't give users ability to add or remove faces.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Photok and set-up a PIN
2. In the newly created safe click on the + menu at the bottom right
3. Click on one of the 3 different options for importing
4. Nothing happens, except a small glitch where it seems as if the background of Photok seems to be focused again (i.e. the darkened background picture of the safe is white again).

Expected behavior I had Photok installed on the same Pixel but on Android 12, where it worked properly (so adding e.g. personal pictures worked).

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Pixel 4a
• OS: worked on CalyxOS with Android 12, now on GrapheneOS with Android 13 it isn't working for me anymore
• Version 1.4.1

Additional context GrapheneOS is an hardened OS which implements multiple additional layers for protecting the device owners security and privacy. It may be that there is something which breaks Photoks ability to import data e.g. by disallowing the file chooser to open. Although this would be the first occurrence of such a thing (at least for me) and I gave my best to give Photok all permissions it needed I can't rule such a thing out.

Furthermore I tried an install from F-Droid and directly with the APK from the github releases section and also in the owner profile and a dedicated user profile. It never worked...

EDIT: I just installed Photok on another device (Android 11 Tablet) and the "Allow file access" dialog which gets prompted indeed never appears on my Pixel.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am using a pretty old phone with small internal storage and have to store the photos and videos on my sd-card.

Describe the solution you'd like please add an option to store the encrypted files on sd-card. i am aware that that is kind of security flawm bu its even better than to store unprotected photos/videos on sdcard and if that is an option, its a decision of the user.

Describe alternatives you've considered looking for an f-droid app that is able to encrypt folders anywhere, didn't find one yet.

Additional context n/a

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's difficult to view images without opening them one by one. The fact that they load slowly when opened doesn't help.

Describe the solution you'd like If you've used Simple Gallery on F-Droid before, it can increase/reduce the column count, which allows the user to change how many images they want to see at a time. It helps when you want to scroll through thousands of images quickly or view multiple images near full resolution to see the details. This solution is perfect, in my opinion. It would entirely eliminate the redundant use of low quality thumbnails (even for small files) without compromising anything, as it can be changed by the user.

Describe alternatives you've considered Have better quality thumbnails and at most 3 images/columns per row.

Context: set up app, set password, set app to dark mode. Set app to be hidden from app list and correctly noted the dialler code. Changed password. Imported about 20 images from gallery. App then closed. Attempted to access from recent, filled in password, app closes. Killed app in recent app list, entered the dialler code which opens the login screen, entered password and app closes. Password is definitely correct. Can repeat over and over but no success - app always closed meaning I have no access to photos that were hidden.

My device: oppo find X2 lite, colorOS 11.1 (Android 11)

It is very helpful if app as an option to sort files according to 1, size 2, taken date 3, modified date 4, added date(date of the file that added to photok app) 5, file name

All in ascending and descending order.

And need option to filter files like

Show only images Show only videos

These sort and filter options are very important when we have large amount of files.
