Why pictures not showing in gallery after dragging into scrcpy android？ #6200
Description
I could see the pictures in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera, to where I transferred pictures from my PC, but I just can't find them in my gallery. Even after renaming them to something like IMG_xxx, they still don't show up, I also can't find them when when trying to send these pictures in apps. I think the fact that they're missing from the gallery explains this.

Vendor galleries only index a fixed set of folders and need MediaStore to know about the file.
adb pushdoes neither, so dragged-in images never show up.Sent a patch as an opt-in
