File location - Show in folder

[Dr-John-Early]

I'm loving the principle of this app, but I wish I could access the file location of the image in some way.

As I understand it (which is basically not at all), Android 10+ uses a scoped storage model and access to content is via MediaStore API or something like that.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but it would be great to be able to somehow navigate from the image displayed in TIDY, to the source image location.

The media store record should include the filepath in the data column. It's possible to create intents that call file managers to open a given path. Even the built in system manager (DocumentsUI) can do this (the /path/data/to/file needs to be converted to a uri %3Apath%2Fdata%2Fto%2Ffile format). But as far as I know it's not possible to open a file manager AND pre-highlight a specific file.

DocumentsUI has a concept of highlighted files as well as selected files but I doubt if it can be made to do either from an intent. That would be awesome though.
