Musk deserves a long drop from a short rope. Aside from that, I'm a no sea lions allowed zone, so you'd best be on your way.

It's really not, which is Google's fault. Just the ability to sidestep it for the user's gallery app of choice would be worlds better

The old image picker was so much better that there's no legitimate comparison, because the old one allowed you to use your gallery app, which is my case is Simple Gallery Pro from F-Droid because it's the best one there is. I just went from being able to search my microSD card by filename to having some kind of web 3.0 abomination that just shows every picture on local storage in a feed, and an album pane with a whopping 3 albums from local storage. Massive, massive step back. Potentially a deal breaker.

i.e. forever

The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can't search file names, it doesn't work with microSD cards, and it's painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?
