BUTTON: Send multiple files to WhatsApp

Hi,
I want to create a BUTTON to send MULTIPLE files to WhatsApp.
I use following button settings:
Function type:
Send to app
Command:
WhatsApp:com.whatsapp:.ContactPicker
(I chose WhatsApp from associated drop-down list)
Parameters:
stream:%P%S
This
doesn't work, WhatsApp says something like: "File format (file type) not supported".
What is the correct button-settings' syntax?
...
Remarks:
- stream:%P%N works, but sends only the first selected file, as intended
- Sending multiple files via context-menu using 'Send to app' command works fine.
Can you help me?
Thanks

I will have to check that in the debugger. In principle, the two should use the same method. Maybe there is a difference in the sent MIME type (file type).

Sorry, the reason is that you used the wrong parameter. Instead of
stream:%P%S
just use
list:
with nothing behind the colon. You could specify the extra name, but leaving out the name will automaticall use Intent.EXTRA_STREAM.
%P%S just inserts the path names separated by spaces, e.g.
/storage/emulated/0/file1.txt /storage/emulated/0/file2.txt
That's not what apps expect when receiving the "Send to multi" data.

Try sending content: URLs instead of file: URLs. The parameter would then be:
list:content:
If this doesn't work either and you are on Android 10 or newer, try forcing file: URLs:
list:file:

Try using:
list:
and alternatively
list:content:
without any parameters behind them.
