Currently it finds TIFF files but those are not supported by the application

I patched val Media.isImage: Boolean get() = mimeType.startsWith("image/") to val Media.isImage: Boolean get() = mimeType.startsWith("image/") || label.substringAfterLast(".").removePrefix(".").equals("jxl", ignoreCase = true) as a testing hack, which means now we can edit jxl images when they get opened, but they still aren't showing up in the gallery view

EDIT: ah is it the albumsflow that handles this?

It's the Android itself that handles which mimeType can be scanned and made visible in the media store - the android database that the app uses.

I think starting with android 14 you are able to see them in the gallery. (I have 15 and they are visible)

A14 on los and I can't see them, but it seems like to get support on older versions the gallery would need to do custom thumbnailing then? I wonder if there is a way to extend mediastore but afaik that would be no.

EDIT: Actually it seems like it may be possible https://source.android.com/docs/core/media/media-provider#customization do the thumbnails of the image show on A15 or are they black?

[IacobIonut01]

Must be from A15 then,

the link you have sent is talking about the MediaProvider customisation on a SYSTEM level, basically modifying the MediaProvider Apex Module to your liking - which is not something I can update on an app level basis.

In order to scan the unsupported mediaTypes on a app level I would have to implement a media scanner - which would force the requirement of the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (full access to your storage) and would make the app unable to function (or required the feature to be removed) on google play
