Feature Request: Ability to save Progress Pictures

[BeatLink]

Describe the feature you'd like
Hello,
I would like the ability to save progress pictures to the application

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I use my phone's default camera app, but I need to navigate to the galley to view them.

Additional context
Being able to view progress pictures from within the application would be really convenient, and would be in line with the tracking features already implemented with the weight and body tracking features. The app already has code to take pictures for exercises, maybe the code can be reused from there.

Thanks so much for the existing work already put into FastNFitness. Its the best open source fitness app on Android I ever found
Thank you.

Any ideas on when (or if) this feature will be added? I'd be really eager to see it

Hi @BeatLink, I have no idea on when to be honest and currently the priority is to change the way pictures and files are managed in the app due to the Google change in API30 for scoped storage.
However, I still consider this is an interresting idea and if anyone wants to propose a pull request, I'm fine. But this will have to be done after the #198 is done.

Got it!

I think this would be a really cool feature.
Are there some pitfalls involved implementing it, or do we just need someone who does it?

Hello, today I started hacking around a bit on the thing.
A first demo https://github.com/FirstWithThisName/fastnfitness/tree/Progress-Images that can add remove images.

I am uncertain how to handle file extensions for the images (hard coded to .jpg), I copied the code from the ProfileFragment where it is also done that way.

[FirstWithThisName]

Exporting the images is working now too.

I am struggling to import the images.
It sounds a bit stupid but I am not able to get the parent Path from the URI, of the import CSV file.
So I can find the path of the images.
Just using toPath and then passing it to a new File does not work.

Hello, I just can't pull it of to get the import the images from another folder.
How about to store the images base64 in the csv file.
I don't like the idea that much to blow up the csv with the binary content but I don't have any other idea.
Any feedback or ideas to this approach @brodeurlv ?

Hi @FirstWithThisName,
I also don't think this is a good idea. I think the best approach would be to import everything as a zip file that will include the CSV + the pictures in a subfolder of the zip. The CSV might just include the picture filenames in one of its field so that when the import is done, the app knows which picture to import.
That's also what I wanted to implement for the exercise import but never had time to do it.
