Need Help Opening a Picture Folder with Google Photos or Goggle Files app

My first major project 10 years ago with tasker was a picture Folders project that allows me to quickly create or select a folder where all of the pics from the camera will be moved too. It will also list all of the folders in a scene menu that has a filter so I can quickly search for a folder name.

So I needed a way to show the pics from the folder in a gallery view and be able to select a individual pic for viewing. I use autoshare to get the file path of a selected Pic.

I would like to use the android Photos app as that would allow me to easily share this with others.

The best I could come up with at the time was to use the very popular Quickpic app with a Intent like this to start it in the gallery mode

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -d "file:///%picfilename" -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -n com.alensw.PicFolder/com.alensw.PicFolder.GalleryActivity --user 0 --activity-clear-task --activity-clear-top

I am still currently using a modified (de-Malwared) version of Quickpic as it is still one of the best pic apps out there.

The other not as desirable option would be to open the folder with the android Files app to a gallery view. Taskers Pick Input Dialog action just does not work well for this.

It seems possible to use the "Photos" app However from this post it seems I will need to use the Java function action to access the media store Which I can not seem to get working.
