Hi

I have been using Quickpic for like 8 years on my Androids, but since Cheetah mobile got a hold of it, it went down hill. I have tried to use Samsung's built in gallery app, but it simply cannot cope with stuff being deleted using other apps in the system - put simply it will forever show either empty or complete thumbnails for the items that have been been removed from the filesystem - quickpic used to update instantly reacting to live changes on the underlying filesystem.

I use a drone with my note, and use the drone's own software to manage its pics/vids so its totally unacceptable for my to have to delete the content using the drone app, and then also delete the non-existing content from the samsung gallery just to have it quick showing thumbnails for stuff that is no longer existing on the ruddy device. Has anyone pointed out to Samsung that its 2019 ?!

So Suggestions for a gallery app that will react to changes (additions and deletions) in the underlying filesystem)?

The only way, in my understanding, for this to happen, is that your drone file deletion is malfunctioning.

Your phone finds cached photo's information, and showing it to you.
That means that your drone leaves leftovers after deletion. That is a security/privacy risk and also take up some storage from your SD card.

I delete pics and videos all the time from the phone directly and also using my laptop and never had any problems you describe, so previous poster may be right about drone being the culprit. Also I do remember I had some issues when all my pics were backed up to cloud and sometimes they would go out of sync, where phone would think the picture was in cloud, but wasn't there anymore, but I stopped using cloud services long time ago and don't remember details.
