> This plugin could have a method that would trigger these intents with a file picker, The goal of this plugin is to be able to programmatically control the file system files, so if the Storage Access Framework requires the use of UI to pick files, I don't think that will be acceptable in this plugin. And if that's the only way to access external files, then it sounds like we'll need a new plugin for accessing the external storage. Although I don't think that's the case, the [MediaStore](https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media) has Direct File starting in API 30, which I think could be used, but it is documented that this is an inefficient way (performance wise) of accessing MediaStore/Scoped storage files. Would be great if someone could experiment with this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
