Is there a way to hide folders within Astro file manager?

[Deleted User]

Is there a way to hide folders within Astro (or android for that matter)? I have many folders on my SD card that I don't want to see (it clutters things up), so I would like to hide the folders from view. Does Astro do this or is there another file manager that can do it?

Greetings kgeissler,

If your trying to hide folders from media players or picture viewers, then there is a app to do that.

As far as hiding folders from file viewers such as Astro and others, I don't think so.

Download and install OI File Manager, free, from the Market.

Use it to navigate to the folder that contains the material you wish to hide and select Menu > Exclude from media scan.

Job done. Images will not show in Gallery and audio will not show in Music.

Hope this helps.

i am looking for this too.

i wish Astro would have an option to arbitrarily hide and unhide files and folders from its own view. also a "unhide all" option to reset it if needed.

let's request it!

i don't want to muddle through all of the system and app created folders and files on the card like LOST.DIR etc.

thanks but that's not what i'm talking about. that only hides files or folders with a period in front of the name like ".filename". the feature i want will hide any file or folder from the explorer that you designate.

I was puzzled by your question in your post above ... now I see ...

it would be useful to add an option in the long press menu, to hide individually the folders.

it's annoying to have multiple folders, from the system or created by applications, displayed in the explorer. It would be better to show only the folders we commonly use.

I want to hide folders automatically created by the system or by the applications.
