Description
From testing of this: https://github.com/guardianproject/ChatSecureAndroid/pull/634
After building/upgrading, I opened an existing chat session. All the existing shared photos did not show up anymore (as you can see in the attached screenshot from the blank / empty messages).
I can share a new photo, and that is persisted.
So it seems the existing media store was somehow ignored or removed, and a new one in a new path perhaps was created.

Just to rehash what we discussed, my guess is that your device here had a media store file on both the internal and external storage, since it had the flaky SD card. If the SD card was not mounted when ChatSecure started one time, then ChatSecure would have created a new media store on the internal storage. Then if you started the version of ChatSecure in this pull request when the SD card was mounted, then ChatSecure would find a media store on both the internal and external storage. And it prefers the internal storage since that's less troublesome.
But it is probably more likely that people have more data in the External Storage. Hard decision. In the long run, it'll be more relaible if the media store is on the internal storage.
