[1.1.9.x] Custom Ambiences disappear after reboot [duplicate]

After posting "duplicates" twice unintentionally, I swear I did search before and did not find this issue.

After updating to 1.1.9 I realized that Ambiences created from pictures on the phone disappear from both lists - the favourite pulley and the list in the settings app. The wallpaper pictures are still on the SD-card. (This may be the clue???)

The default ambiences, the snow white and the Mario ambience stay intact.

Anybody had the same experience?

(The update to 1.1.9 itself left all other data on the device intact and went very smooth!)

I didn't get it. Are the pictures on the phone or on the SD card?

Any way, all of my ambiences (both default and custom) disappeared once that I was playing with ambiences, creating and removing them frequently. But they all came back after a reboot.

@SuAlfons I think I read somewhere that ambiences only work correctly with pictures stored on the phone. Try to store those on the phone memory. =)

Yes, the pictures are located on the SD card. Because of frequent phone factory resets needed......

Thank you for the advice, I will push the pics to the phone next time I feel like changing the ambience. THe new default ones are quite nice, actually.

Hi,

I can verify this - but only if the picture is on the SD card. Works fine when the picture is on the internal memory. Maybe the sdcard is mounted after the ambiences are prepared (just a guess).

Don't know if it's a bug or a feature - maybe Jolla didn't expect Ambience pictures on the SD card as that can be removed.

wonder why it did not turn up when I searched for the terms "ambience, diappear" etc. before posting. Looks like I'm the king of double postings now :-(

Probably because you only used the magic drop down showing options instead of hitting enter.
