Bug Description

* Open File Manager
* Open Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera
* Tap on an image, for example image20151027_19343262.jpg
* System asks what I want to open it with, Notes, Dekko, Tagger or Gallery
* Tap Gallery

Expected result

* Gallery opens showing the picture in full-screen mode

Actual result:

* Gallery opens showing the "Events" page

If I try this with a file from somewhere else other than com.ubuntu.camera, the result is that I can't view the file at all.

The behaviour now seems to be that if you open a photo, it makes a copy of it. Since this is the most recent image, it bubbles to the top in Gallery, so it's reasonably easy to then open it.

But this means that every time you tap on a photo in file manager, it makes a copy. Tap on the same image three times, you now have four copies of the same file. This is pretty crazy.

Presumably this is related to Bug #1518332 and I guess the solution is similar, open via URL.
