New feature 'Share File' Not working

Issue description:

Thank you for the recent update with the includion of the ‘Share file’ option to share local device files to other apps. After extensive testing via: tapping share file, selecting the app (AutomaTag, quick share, solid explorer, Gmail, messanger, WhatsApp, google drive) nothing happens, also tried sharing with other apps avialalbe and no result. Also just wondering if you are able to add the ability to delete local files in the future?

Logs:

Local device

The app says what to do for large logs, but the logs should be a few kb for his …
Delete the current log and provide a log only reproducing that.

And describe what nothing happens is.

Delete the folder sources for the media provider and add them again. I had to do that to fix the problem

I have the same problem my log file is: gamebeaker_share_file

Same problem means nothing as I asked details on what happens :slight_smile:

There’s no errors in the logs.

Sorry missed this part.
I go to the song → press the 3 dots → click “Share file”
select
→ Signal, Whatsapp, Nextcloud
→ direct message contact for Signal, Whatsapp
The share menu closes itself without opening the selected app.

So it’s an OS level issue.

Have you done as the changelog says :

I have just tested the share function for a file in this app GitHub - FossifyOrg/File-Manager: Easy app for managing your files without ads, respecting your privacy & security installed through fdroid and it worked.
The option in Symphonium
go to the song → press the 3 dots → click “Share”
select
→ Signal, Whatsapp
works. This shares the cover with a little text. Only file sharing doesn’t seem to work.

Again : Please confirm that you actually did this :

i didn’t it is scanning at the moment will take a while

It should be instant from cache did you remove the provider instead of the source ?

yes :confused: i deleted the media provider.

Now the file sharing works for the local provider.
Question: is the file share option only available for the local provider?
If i use Webdav as provider i don’t get the share option. (even i the file is cached.)

So as explained in the changelog :wink:

And yes it’s only for local device.

i searched the docs not the changelog…

This is my same issue. I have conducted a backup, removed local source, then restored backup. Not sure how else to do it withouht loosing all of my playlists.

Edit: It seems to be working now however a side note i have lost all of my favourited albums and favourited artists being shown on the home page. Can this be added to the backupfiles in future to ensure they are restored?
