Being able to open photos and videos directly in the Zeitkapsl app on Android. Redirecting from the camera app and file manager by setting Zeitkapsl as the default gallery app.
I'd like to support this request. A built-in gallery view with editing capabilities and possibility to delete photo on phone directly from the app would greatly improve the overall user experience.
My current workflow is not very smooth. Here's what happens:
I take several photos using the Camera app. With "Automatic Backup" enabled on the Camera folder, Zeitkapsl detects all photos and encrypts them immediately. If I'm on Wi-Fi, they upload; otherwise, they queue.
I then use a separate Gallery app to select which photos to keep and delete the rest. I do basic editing (crop, rotate, contrast, saturation) on the selected photo if needed, which generates a new file in the Camera folder also encrypted by Zeitkapsl. I then remove the unedited originals, still using the Gallery app.
At this point, Zeitkapsl still holds all encrypted photos (including deleted ones). Even though I've already cleaned up my device using the Gallery app, I now have to repeat the same process inside Zeitkapsl and manually track which photos I kept, which I edited, and which were duplicates.
Having native gallery functionality within Zeitkapsl would eliminate redundant steps, reduce friction, and allow users to manage their encrypted media seamlessly without switching between apps.
