cgeo: can't upload photos
Describe the bug: When trying to add a photo to my log, the app freezes. I seriously don’t want to delete the app due to the solved puzzle notes I have saved ONLY in the app. When adding an existing photo, the app freezes at the selection. When adding a new photo, the camera comes on but the screen is black. The camera doesn’t actually come on. That freezes the app.
To Reproduce: Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to log a cache.
- Click on add image (from either menu)
Actual behavior/state after performing these steps: App freezes as described above.
Expected behavior/state after performing these steps: Iexpect my camera roll to open and I select an image to upload to my log.
Version of c:geo used: 2020.10.04
Is the problem reproducible: Yes, it happens every time.
Screenshots: You may attach screenshots if applicable and helpful to explain your problem

THANK YOU.
I selected to view System Files and found many additional apps visible. I found one called “files” and cleared the cache and the settings.
I then was able to upload an existing image in my geocaching log.
I’m already a beta tester.
