Hi @deckerst! I must say that I like the app. It is what I was looking for for a while. May I suggest to implement the hidden items such as the photos sent thru Whatsapp which are hidden. It is nice to see all photos from your phone, so you can delete them and free up the space. If you can do that it would be amazing.

Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to GitHub!

I don't use WhatsApp, but I guess the images you are talking about are within folders that contain a ".nomedia" file, right? It has the effect of telling Android to ignore media files inside, so the Android Media Store does not index them.

Aves only handles media indexed by the Android Media Store, otherwise Aves would need extra permissions to act like a file manager app. This is a whole new ballgame! So I recommend you use a regular file manager app to find and delete these media files hidden from the Android Media Store.

If you have further questions or ideas, the best is to submit them via the "Issues" or "Discussions" tabs ("Pull requests" are for submitting changes to the code).
