I used to use Simple Gallery and later Fossify Gallery. Now that I have a device new enough for Accrescent to work on it I discovered Aves Gallery Libre.
It’s much nicer and polished in many ways but I do miss some features sometimes
Immich mostly since it’s there to handle my backups anyways. Otherwise just the stock one on my S21.
I use fossify gallery and it’s nice in some ways but annoying in others. I don’t feel like trying to switch but it could do some things differently.
Seems nice, but also how on earth do you visualise a specific folder? I’m mildly interested in viewing all photos, downloads etc in one go.
Edit: it filters by folders, but only one level deep? Very nice otherwise.
The Immich app.
Although since it doesn’t really function as a full gallery app yet, so I have Fossify gallery installed as a backup to open images in via intent.
I only learned about Aves today and trying it out for the same purpose, I think I like its picture viewer better.
I’m still using QuickPic but would appreciate something better. Simple/Fossify seems to have similar features but is slower on my phone.
Fossify is the latest and maintained. Simple apps are no longer maintained and thir latest versions are no longer open source
Aves Libre.
Aves.
Nice but can’t show hidden folders ( like .hidden) it seems
Holy crap this thing is pretty. Ty
This only because fossify hangs on my photos anymore. Black thumbnails, etc. I’ve cleared both cache and storage then uninstalled and reinstalled. No difference.
Shame otherwise I like fossify better.
Update it from the github. They released some bug in the version in the repos, and the fix hadn’t yet made it there yet. At least that was the case a couple weeks ago. Updating from github fixed that problem for me immediately.
Thanks. I’ll add it to obtanium and give it a go.
I’m on 1.2.1. Turns out F-Droid has this version as of 9/28.
Looks like I have both fossil and Aves and use them interchangeably.
Now. What about open source camera apps? They all kinda suck. I’m using Libre Camera but wish there was a better alternative.
I use Google Camera mod. I don’t care that it’s not FOSS because it isn’t connected to the internet.
Try open camera.
Fossify too
