Hello.
i have install program from the SD memory and some of the pictures displayed
in the album.
is there any were to hide the pictures or remove them without getting error on the software.
Thanks in advance
Search the Market for hide photos, I'm sure there are a few options
you can create an empty text file (using notepad), call it ".nomedia" and remove the ".txt" extension.
Place this file where you want pictures/audio to be ignored...
works for me.
I tried to upload a sample file, but for some reason, I can't, but it is pretty straight forward.
Thanks For the Help. but when i copy the txt-nomedia nothing is happening- i can still see the files
Or, rename the folder the pics are in to .(name here)
Android ignores folders that have a (.) as the beginning character
wow it works but the program wont open :/
thanks anyway. i learned something new

Oh well that seems to be a problem. I suggest you email the developer and ask him to put it so that the pics don't show in the gallery. It has a simple fix on his part
Yes, Maybe i will do it.
Thank you For you Help
maybe some how i will learn how ti use the commands in Linux

Reboot your Hero.
Problem
The problem is that after a few days the files in the directory containing the .noname file are gone. The directory is than empty exept for the .noname file, that still exists.
Hi. I have read a lot of post about media scan in i9300 and I cannot figure out what happens to me.
I have a folder of image , (for example whatsapp image) the folder was stored in the internal memory (mnt/sdcard/Whatsapp/media/whatsapp_image)
I copied some images to the folder from computer and my whatspp downloads the new image sent by my friends.
the most interesting thing is Gallery only shows the image downloaded by whatspp. The other images that I put into the folder from computer are missing.
I use "ASTRO File Manager" to see what happens. I found that the file manager cannot even generate the thumbnails of those image I copied from computer to the folder. It only have the thumbnails that downloaded by whatspp. (On the other words, only the image with thumbnails are shown in Gallery and they are downloaded by whatsapp)
But I can still open the image without thumbnails by pressing them and choosing "Use Gallery to open", It can be viewed perfectly. It proves the images are not damaged.
(P.S. If I use My Files, the stock file manager, all images have thumbnails. But the images are still missing, nothing changed or improved)
Then I use File Managers, (My Files, Stock File Manager, and ASTRO File Manager) to move the images without thumbnails to external sd cards (mnt/exSdCards/Temp). After that, ASTRO File Manager can find the folder and generate the thumbnails, Gallery can show the images after rescanning the media.
However, after I move the images back to internal memory (I even create a new folder under root of the internal memory), the thumbnails gone and gallery cannot show them after rescanning media.
Does anyone know what happened and how to solve it? I know I may use other Picture Viewer to "solve" this, but I hope to find out the real solution first. Thank you.
Sorry my thread are too long and my english is poor.
I may post some screenshots later if you want.
Hi there,
I've been reading this forum and other forums for a while now but can't find a sollution for a current problem that i have.
My gallery displays alot of folders with images and i wanted to remove a couple of folders from it. So i searched for a sollution and found out that when you add a file to the folder named .noimage or .nomedia the folder would not appear into the gallery. That's true but after adding more photos to the folder the folder shows up again in the gallery... even when the .noimage or .nomedia is still there. When i replace the .noimage or .nomedia the gallery will hide those folders again.
Any others that have the same problem?
ps sorry for my poor english

If you wanna hide some pictures
I would suggest QuickPic
You can manually create file names ".nomedia" if I remember correctly to tell other apps that this folder doesn't contain anything
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
so i must train my english
write resco photo viewer in google or youtube, u will see how it works(i cant add images-not enough post)
this is how look RPviewer, you have everything in folder(like in file manager) when u open folder with images, u will see only images in folder, not every images in device
As said you can add empty files named .nomedia in each folder that you don't want to be displayed in gallery.
Create an empty file with any file manager app.
Must reboot to have them read and the filter applied.
I have found that by placing .nomedia in any folder will hide the images in the gallery. I misplaced .nomedia file in home folder and any of the music file or images are not showing up in my Tab. I tried to clear data and also removed that .nomedia file and then rebooted my device but it won't help....
