Image gallery problem

I have this problem! No idea how to fix it though - I think it might have started when I installed a photo frame widget,bt stayed when I uninstalled it. Can't say for sure though

 

This might work, it is suppose to work OK for spurious mp3 files

1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)
4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.

 

its an android thing.

 

Just tried it and works OK for pictures too.

 

i'm pretty sure you could also find an alternative gallery app from the market that lets you filter the directories

 

There must be an easier way to do this...

Seems like a waste of an app for this simple task. Should I bother?

 

what? creating a file called .nomedia and copying it to the area you dont want displayed?

if you have astro you can then copy the file on the device to where ever pretty easy

 

It would be neat though, if astro had the facility to mark/unmark a folder as 'nomedia'
