Pick file give data_string variable. You need to use query content provider action multiple times to get actual path of that file for further actions. I have shared an action which can do that.

Place this action after pick file action. Check file_path variable.

This flow isn't limited to opening image only. You can use any file format. If an app is installed to open that file then you will get list of apps to open with. I use similar flow with send/share intent received.

There is a silly bug when creating cache dir which may causing this.

Can you remove 3rd action and add debug dialog, change connection type to exception between last action and debug dialig? Give me auth variable output.
