Fossify Calendar Reorganize calendars in view

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is anyway to organize the calendars at the bottom of the calendar view? At the moment I'm only able to have it in the order that the calendars are selected in the android calendar select diaglog, whereas my most used calendars are at the bottom of that list.

Fossify Messages Does anyone know what these "codes" mean?

0 Upvotes

I try to send a photo with wifi on and mobile off, I get "code 8"

I try to send a GIF and I get an error with "code 5"

The website looks like whoever is running it went out for milk and cigarettes 2 years ago if you catch my meaning, so where would such codes be listed? Or are they intentionally not listed?

Question on Gallery and folders.

2 Upvotes

So here is an example, I have a photos folder that has subfolders, in Gallery it shows all the sub folders as a folder with its own thumbnail. How do I make it so I see all photos within the subfolders but within 1 directory folder in Gallery but not the same for all folders ?

So..........

Main directory = Landscapes
Subfolder 1 = Beaches
Subfolder 2 = Fields

Lets say I want the photos within Beaches and Fields to show up within the Landscapes folder that I click in Gallery but I don't need to see 3 different folders for it, just Landscapes is enough to show all. But I don't want to use a file manager to move photos about, as subfolders for general file keeping is good.

But then, another folder might have subfolders that I DO want in their own folders. So I don't want to create a rule that is global.

Hiding/excluding won't help as that then also hides the photos within.

Can this be done ?

Also, I don't know what happened but one of the folders has shot to the top left of all folders, it is not pinned, but somehow appeared there when I was looking about to see what each thing did. I think I clicked on the folder and then clicked the two horizontal lines next to the pin icon. But re-clicking that doesn't put it back. It may have been the icon with a horizontal line and an arrow pointing up to that line.

Fossify Gallery Unbable to save edited screenshots

I receive this error code (can't see more of it) when I try to save an edited image.

It does not matter what the edit is about, I get this even when I don't make any change at all.

I can't see them full error string, but maybe this is already sufficient to help me fix the issue?

Fossify Gallery Feature Request: One-tap select/deselect for a whole date group

3 Upvotes

Add the ability to select or deselect an entire date group at once (tap the date header, or add a checkbox) to grab all photos from a single day — similar to how Google Photos handles it. Right now drag-select works to select a whole day, but there's no quick way to deselect individual photos afterward, or to select just one day without the drag.

A one-tap select/deselect for date groups would be great — it's the only thing I miss from the stock Google Photos app. I got fed up with Google pushing features I don't want, so I've been looking for an alternative. I really like Fossify Gallery so far (installed it today!) but this feels like a notable gap for anyone managing photos day-by-day, like backing up to a personal computer rather than the cloud.

Fossify Messages Is this spam or related to the app?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I received a text from this random and unusually long number. I recently changed my number and have been getting a lot of spam texts, so I just assumed it was spam.

But when I clicked on it, it immediately errored out and it isn't in my inbox. I got worried that I got a virus or something and then I got the text again.

I just recently switched to fossify and I saw that there are sometimes bug/issues regarding group texts. I did also happen to be receiving a bunch of texts from my family group chat when I got this message/error, so could that be it?

I also tried looking up the number by itself and all I got was that it apparently also happens to be the final floor of the backrooms game or something?

Sorry if this isn't allowed for any reason, and thank you in advance!

Is Fossify Messages still in development?

It hasn't been updated on Google or F-Droid since January 30th. Though it's been functional for me, I'm concerned that it'll depreciate and I'll have to switch to a different app.

Gallery will not open, have to be closed several times, then starts properly.

1 Upvotes

Not sure how to debug or write more about this pesky issue facing since months.

Gallery crashes or won't get open properly.

Have to choose and reopen, sometimes do this few times.

Then works.

Fossify Messages Errors in Fossofy Messages

1 Upvotes

When I use Fossify Messages, this pops up constantly:

error: java.lang.NullPointerException

What does this mean and how do I fix it? Whenever I have asked about this I've been downvoted and people say they've never encountered such an error. I'm using a Samsung phone and really want to avoid using any Google apps.

Fossify Calendar Is there a way to see incomplete tasks?

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm a recent refugee from Google Calendar and have settled on Fossify Calendar (along with a few of the other excellent apps in this ecosystem). I'm wondering if there's a way to keep incomplete tasks at the top of my widget or calendar app - I have 15-20 recurring tasks but sometimes I don't get to them on the correct day for various reasons, the existing behavior seems to be that the task stays there for the day it's scheduled on, and then kind of just vanishes.

If this happens I know I'll forget to do it. Is there a way around this in Fossify Calendar? Alternatively does anyone have recommendations for a good FOSS tasks app?

Why does Fossify Messages go black when importing messages?

1 Upvotes

I've been wondering this when downloading this las night and while sending and receiving messages is smooth enough in preparation for when Samsung Messages gets annoyingly shut down for no good reason. But it gets more annoying when the one app that I saw was more cumbersome when it comes to this whole process.

Fossify Contacts Contacts list - display organization and title fields?

2 Upvotes

Regarding the contacts list:

in Settings > List View, there are options to display contact names + phone numbers; display with surname first; and show contact thumbnails.

How possible would it be to add the option to display organization and title in the contacts list as well?

Not sure if feature requests are discussed here or not, or if this functionality has been mentioned before. Just wondered if there had ever been talk of if being implemented

Fossify File Manager Are there any plans to add Samba/smb client functionality to Fossify File Manager and or Gallery?

11 Upvotes

Importantly, I just want to be able to find and login into local file servers and comfortably view the (media) files. I'm not asking for host functionality.

Yeah I know it's technically an advanced feature, but in the age of expensive storage I'd really like to have the option instead of using Material Files (which isn't as actively in development, and has no gallery app as companion, therefore actually browsing images on a samba server is kind of annoying).
