Hi, I have noticed that the EXIF location metadata is removed from the image when shared from within Simple Gallery. It seems like it is related to pictures taken with apps which have migrated to Scoped Storage (which all apps will do sooner or later).
I am aware that with Scoped Storage, the location metadata is stripped off the photo when accessed by an app with no special permission, however sharing a photo from within the Google Photos gallery does not seem to remove the location metadata. So there must be a way to avoid this.
I have tried fixing it myself (in my private app), but no success yet (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68442139/exif-location-data-removed-when-sharing-photo-via-intent ).
I think solving this issue is of major importance for a gallery app such as Simple Gallery, because it should ensure that photos are kept in the original state (even when shared, e.g. via an email app).
