Media permissions so we can choose other folders & why does one specific npub that I made not have the option to backup the secret key? Every other npub the setting shows but when I switch to that one it's not there like it never existed.

We don't control that screen. We can't just add buttons to it unfortunately.
On the other one, yes. I don't know why it didn't happen with the others. The bug is not repeatable. It might have happen many versions in the past and stayed like this since then. The fix is unfortunately to clear storage and re-login with all accounts.
You don't add buttons to it you give the app the permissions it needs & then the extra folder & button will appear automatically.
I will try again. But have tested this a few months ago and nothing changed.
Try giving amethyst permission to all files access.
Are you a coder? Wanna send a PR?
No i'm not but I will send you this.
I hope it helps.

As far as I see amethyst has no media permissions at all.
Just for specific files. Google doesn't allow broad media permissions anymore.
I thought that's what all file access was?
Yes, but they are now forcing apps to not use those things anymore. They want apps to ask for specific permissions for each file they want to access. That's what the new permission system does. There is no broad file access anymore.
Fron what I understand these need to be added.
```
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MEDIA_READ_EXTERNAL"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MEDIA_WRITE_EXTERNAL"/>
```

I still see apps using them & haven't seen one that does stop all of a sudden.
We already do READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. The others are old and don't exist anymore.
From what I read they are needed to make it work. Test it out?
