I'd appreciate some UI guidelines voice from Jolla here (I can understands they might have not thought of this use case before, well, it's time for it then :)).
Looking at iOS and Android, it might be not a bad idea to have a phone UI without an explicit file interface at all. Hackers won't appreciate it, but they have terminal anyway and, well, for them you can create a custom File Open dialog. Regular users might appreciate a photo choosing dialog guaranteed to include all device photos more. Cheers, Artem.
