Is there any way to add a file/image picker to the "Browse files with other apps" dialog using Tasker?
I would like to select images via that option and compress them during that operation.

I mean this screen after clicking on attachment in an email:

I would like to use that to take/compress a photo with reduced size. Found some developer information here: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/accessing-files-with-other-apps/125368

Does the Pick Input Dialog help maybe?

I don't think so as the process looks like this:

1. Open GMail
2. Open an existing mail/Compose a new mail
3. Tap on the attachment icon
4. Select a link from the "Browse files with other apps" area that takes a compressed picture or compresses an existing picture so that it can be added as an attachment to the mail with a low file size

Oh, I see what you mean now!

Can you add that request here so I can give it proper priority? https://tasker.helprace.com/s1-general/ideas Thanks!
