Make option "Safe Live Photo to photo album" also available in selection menu #1329

Open

Description

Expected behaviour

The expected (desired) behaviour is that I can upload Live Images as backup to nextcloud and be able to 100% restore them in my iOS Photo Roll.

Actual behaviour

In theory it works, but I have to manual select each image go into its menu and select "Safe Live Photo to photo album" instead of being able to this in the selection menu. When restoring 1000 of images this is a very tedious task. Every image has to be individually picked.

Alternative options "Download files and Folders" as well as "Save images and videos to photo album..." do not result in the same behaviour.

The problem here is:

  • The correct time stamp is not recovered. Meaning the new image appears in the photo roll as if it was taken right now.
  • The Live effect is not restored.

Single Live Photo menu
IMG_7237

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Finally (Thank you to the devs) we would have a flawless method to backup and restore iOS images without using Apple Photos on a Mac or iCloud.

I want to use this opportunity to thank all involved in this refreshed app. It looks very clean. Thank you for all that work!
