Good morning
Is there a way to open othere Pictures with the Camera Album?
I try to set the Camera Album to the defult viewer (HKLM - Software - HTC - HTC Album - defult viewer = 1) but if i open Pictures from my SD Card (not from the "My Pictures" folder), the picutres will open in the normal "Pictures & Videos" programm from WM.
Is there a way to open other folders, or can i set the HTC Camera Album to the defult viewer, that all pictures will opend in this programm?

Is there a way to stop album art showing in the picture gallery?
if you talk about htc photo gallery you simply have to make the images "read only" and they'll disappear, but i don't know how to hide them if you're using nexus one gallery.
This is a simple fix for cooliris galley - (nexus one).
Load up your albums with the cd front cover jpg within the folder, the phone will cache the image. you may need to reboot for it to scan the folder and cache the image file.
When it shows up in the gallery you can delete the image located in the album folder for example: sdcard: Music\ACDC\image.jpg, this will remove it from the gallery and you have the the cd image now in cache for the music player, sorted.

this was one of the big issues over on the Omnia HD forum.. every image from every program appearing in the default gallery...
work-around-there was to simply set the images to HIDDEN. not great but worked.. could work here maybe.
do wish we get some control in these Gallery programs so we can tell it what folder we want it to look at... so new phone, new OS but still same old issue
I've not had to deal with this a long time as I used to just disable Gallery and use Quickpic on ICS.
However since Google in their infinite wisdom made Camera a part of the Gallery app with JB, that's no longer an option.
So wondering -- what is the way to go about having Gallery not display folders with a .nomedia file in them?
I've tried force stop/clear data/reboot/rescan... but it always picks up the folders again. And I've doublechecked with root explorer that I do actually have a .nomedia file in the folders, as well as in their parent folders (if that makes any difference).
Try renaming the folder, this might force a rescan.

sorry for my bad english:cyclops:
You need to put a file named .nomedia in the folders you don't want Gallery to index!
Download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xqjjytzzznz
Copy it to your phone and please note that it's a hidden file (because the name starts with a period) so use a file manager in "show hidden files" mode!
Then just copy that file into all the folders you want excluded from the gallery.
Then reboot.
Make empty text file and give it a name .nomedia , copy that file i folder wich you want to hide from gallery app

Thanks, it was really annoying having all music images showing in my gallery.
Hi,
You should call the image of the album (or the artist) "folder.jpg" and put it in the directory where the songs are (hope I express myself right...). That way none will show up in the gallery but any media reader will use it when you play the track.
Hi!
installed somes apps, copied some music, etc.
now those images (e.g. albumart / coverart) appear in the album, so it's very bloated with a lot of undesired images.
how can i exclude certain folders from being visible in the album? tried it already with a ".nomedia"-file in those folders, but this doesn't seem to work.
any ideas?
thanks & have a nice day.
There is a .NOMEDIA file in the demovideo folder. Copy that file to the folders you don't want to get indexed, then clear the cache of the album app. Reboot your phone and your set.

thanks for the hint, but unfortunately it didn't work!
*bump*
sorry, as i didn't find a solution yet...
Use Quickpic app to hide any folders you don't want the album to see. It works fine.

Is it posible that there´s a Problem with the .nomedia file in your xperia z?
Example:
I´ve a .nomedia File in the WhatsApp Media Directory. Right after the creation of that .nomedia file, everything is fine, the Pictures are hidden in the Album app. I´m recieving a Picture in whatsapp, Album app also Shows it, also after reboot!

seems that there is something wrong with your .nomedia file, too
.nomedia file is created with QuickPic...

USE QUICKPIC please. It is (so far) the only quick solution.
You do not need a .nomedia file under your music directory. You do however need to rename the album/cover art jpg files to AlbumArt.jpg (not cover.jpg or other filename), and Sony's Album app will automatically exclude those images.
You will still need to clear the media cache.

Bravia engine not working with quickpic
I've noticed Bravia Engine doesn't kick in when viewing images with QuickPic. Is there a way it enable it?
As I understand it, the .nomedia file doesn't work with JB 4.2+
Check StudioKuma .nomedia manager on PlayStore

Well, I just downloaded an icon pack and added a single period in front of the name of the unpacked folder. This makes the folder hidden. It no longer shows on my album or my widget for that matter.

use gallery pro
The .nomedia solution works perfectly fine for me. However it will not exclude stuff that is already in the album so you need to clear the data of the Media Storage (Settings --> Apps --> All --> Media Storage) app. It will mean that it will need to rescan your phone however, but it will correctly exclude any directory with the .nomedia file in it.
This works on XZ and it also worked on my old SGS3 running CM10.1 (JB 4.2.2)

Quickpic hides them from both galleries. If they're still in your album after you've hidden them, then you either need to reboot or if you've stopped media scanner you have to scan media to ensure they're no longer shown in album app.
Quick pic works perfectly on Z I use it to hide all my wallpapers from the gallery ;-p
It's a good way of seeing what your pictures REALLY look like without Bravia shenanigans also lol
