I use web Filesystem API to write picture into images/ folder. I can read and view that image but after entering Gallery app in Gear S3

the picture is not shown properly. Gallery shows my picutre only as temporary gray icon. I assume Gallery app or TizenOS doesn't update

that picture in internal Tizen media data base. I am not sure it is true, it's only my assumption. I tried to use tizen.content.scanFile(fileURI).

Nothing changed.

Is there any way to force TizenOS or Gallery app to show new pictures correctly?

I copied images from my phone by Samsung Accesory Protocol (SAP FileTransfer) and all pictures are shown correctly by other apps but not Gallery app. Also image created in the app and written into images/ folder is correct but not shown by Gallery app. After rebooting my Gear pictures from phone via SAP still are not shown (only temp icon) and pictures created by my app are shown normally.

How did you copy images from computer to your Gear? What tool do you use?

And additionally I have noticed that pictures sent via Gear Manger are changed. Both picture resolution and file size. Picture 1.2MB 1280x720 is changed to 720x480/400KB. If you use a tool to send picutres from computer designed by Samsung probalby it happens the same. Mayby you can check it out.

It seems that pictures for Gallery app are somehow processed by Tizen system. It makes sense due to watch limitations like circular display, limited storage size, slower CPU etc. If so why Samsung doesn't light devevlopers about that and pass a tool to meet this requirements?
