Hey Mario, thanks for your mail. A question first: Do you need to access pictures from the file system only from your app or also the pictures of other applications? In general, accessing, reading and writing content (here: pictures) owned by other applications programmatically without user interaction is restricted by our confinement approach.
It would be great if we could understand your use-case a little better to help you solve it.
