Additional information

I have installed nearly every file manager on f-droid and tested this error, enabled NewPipe to access files in the permission manager, used a file manager that was recommended here on github (Material Files by Hai Zhang), and the error also occurs when attempting to export subscriptions. I have disabled Samsung's default file manager.
