Description

When I play media through your app with my external gallery app all goes well but I can't edit material like I can inside gallery app. For example photo and video editing. This is not a problem with other file explorers. Great work and this has been bothering me for a while and finally decided to post this issue with hopes. Thanks.

Done means the external gallery can edit opened photos and videos without the reported error; no source file or test is named in the issue.
