Default Hide / organise pictures? (Legend)?

Is there any good app to organise and even mayby hide pictures from the regular gallery?

I would like to have several folders, saving pictures for different reasons/different projects etc.

And some I might want to hide from the "regular" "Photo" app....

Check out PhotoVault - used this for a while - it works great.

You can set a password and it leaves no trace of the hidden pics on your phone

Use Astro file manager. Put the photos you want "hidden" in their own directory and rename it with a "." in front of it. Android then sees this as a system file and won't show the images in the Photo/Gallery app.

Eg:

SDcard\Photos\set1 <- visible
SDcard\Photos\set2 <- visible
SDcard\Photos\set2\cropped <- visible
SDcard\Photos\.private\set4 <- not visible
SDcard\Photos\.private\set5 <- not visible

And if I want to view the pics that are hidden?

In "Photos" will pics in Set1 be shown as an own folder and "Set2" as another folder etc?

Astro is a free app, I don't know why you can't find it. Just do a market search for "File manager". You'll need to view the hidden pics from the file manager. In "Photos", yes Set1 and and Set2 will be in their own folders.
