Thx but whe i click it, i get a sort by "date", how can i get another type of sort ? like name etc..
Make some folder on SD card (with name you want) move picture there and in gallery will be sorted under that name.
I have a folder with 200+ pic who i want to be sorted by name in gallery
So if i understand what you say, I have to create folder for each pic (with name sorted) and put them inside ? right ?: confused:
i think SE should add "sort by name" in next firmware

On your phone's SD card, delete a hidden folder called .bookmark_thumb1
After its deleted, create an empty text file (no extension) with the exact same name, .bookmark_thumb1

hey guys,
recently i tested the miKandi app store (yeah p*rn - u're right) and i downloaded some videos .. with se* tube pro ^^
btw. works like a charm
BUT - would be great to hide these videos from gallery ...
the typical way to create ".nomedia" files inside the containing folder doesnt seem to work?
can anyone confirm such a behavior, or am i the only one with such a luck :==)
thanks guys,

Have this hidden file problem
I have been using the Nexus 4 stock ROM till yesterday. I was successfully able to hide files by using a "." in the file name. However, after flashing the Nexus 5 Experience custom rom, the hidden files are actually visible in the gallery. I did try to hide it using the ".nomedia" file in the folder, but still the files are visible. Could you please let me know if there is any option to hide files in the gallery app?
Is there an app that allows you to select or change the folder/location of the pictures taken at certain moment?
1) Let's say you are at someone's B-day taking pictures but you don't want them to get mixed with the others. It would be nice to set a "B-day" folder so all the pictures go there.
2) Let's say you take a lot of pictures at work and wouldn't want them to mix with your party pictures. You just select a folder for work so all the pictures get redirected there as they are being taken.
3) When I am at work I can have my computer sync and only sync with the "Work" picture folder.
This would be a good feature on the GS3. What do you think?
Agreed. Great idea.

Just an idea...
It may be cumbersome but couldn't you rename the "Camera" folder (with Root Explorer or any other file manager) to whatever event you are attending, and create a new, empty "Camera" folder for your next set of pics? You could repeat this for any other event and your pics would be grouped together.

Awesome... Great idea!
It worked pretty well even if I had to take a couple of extra steps. Now every time I want to separate the photos, I create a blank Camera folder and rename it "whatever" once I have finished taking all the pictures. I am using Solid Explorer.
Thanks, Thanks...
That seems like a good idea but a hassle. I wonder if anyone could make an application.I'm sure many people would want to pay for it if it turns out to be successful.

I have exactly the same problem. I didn't figure it out too. You have to delete and re-create the .nomedia file every time you want to hide the recently received pictures.

Buddy, Hide it pro takes a long time to hide pics & videos and also work on folders which are fixed
whatsapp folder keeps on updating, hence it doesn't work good here.
I read somewhere its an issue with note gallery app
Download es file explorer.
Then go into WhatsApp folder. Then click new file. Name it .nomedia
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using xda premium
Go to the WhatsApp Images folder. Now create a new file inside this folder and name it .nomedia (Click + New icon and then select new file)
Similarly, create the .nomedia file in WhatsApp Video folder to hide it from Gallery.
Now open up the gallery and it won’t show your WhatsApp stuff anymore!
Only one way is to rename whatsapp media folder with ".media".
But by doing this, whatsapp create new media folder when you download a new file.
I got solution to solve this using tasker.
I have tried hiding apps, .nomedia file. But all will not work.

.nomedia in my case don't work..
Quickpic has the option to put the nomedia file automatically, try it
Inviato dal mio GT-N7100 con Tapatalk 2
as easy as 123.
1-ES File Explorer
2-Hold the folder
3-Hide
now it is hidden from ES and Gallery only.
whenever you wanna browse it just use other browsers OR settings>hidden files.
not sure exactly where :S
but in this case whatsapp recognize the folder correctly?
No

Yes, only the gallery would miss it and ES. I use this all the time. Whatsapp can't find it when you hit upload from gallery. but it will be able to put files inside because the Directory isn't hidden.
Download audio manager . Has built in picture video and app hider that works perfect. Plus has awesome volume contols

You can use the "WhatsApp Media Gallery" app to manage all the media from WhatsApp. Just like android gallery, but with an added feature to hide them.
Only happens on my wife's phone and not mine. She can download the pics from an email or text and after about 24 hours "poof" She just sees a black template for each one. Can't bring them up on PC and or QuikPic- You can see the templates in the Download Folder but no where else nor can you do anything with them other than delete. She is stock and its done this out of the box-
Thanks in advance for any help!
Anyone... thanks = )
Do the file sizes change?

Jut looked at her phone to verify and now the thumbnails are gone... I saved some more photos and will verify for you-
Also path is the typical... /storage/sdcard0/Download/NAME OF FILE.JPG
Thanks!
If she's plugging it into a mac (or any computer) it's probably set to auto copy then remove from phone.
Also check any apps that "sync" or auto-upload pics.
Just verified, she does not hook it up to any PC even the one at work... only charges off the wall.
Thanks
See if she's using any apps with her pics. Other than that just check to see if the file size is changing. It mostly sounds like something is moving/deleting the pics.
She was completely stock before last night putting the Quikpic on there to see if that program could still see them. Other than stock gallery and stock settings- I haven't found any setting within Gmail or Messaging or within Gallery or Settings that does anything weird to pictures unless I have missed something.
Thanks again for all of your help so far...
It won't be the gallery, you'd look to that for thumbnail problems.
Check if she uploads to facebook/instagram/etc.
If she does, HOW is she uploading? Web? App?
No uploading... she just keeps them in her Download Folder and eventually they turn into a black thumbnail template.
Whats funny is the ones that she moves to a folder (With a Category Name) no issue and they never dissapear... Only that folder...
I have removed everything and cleared up the directory and let the stock android file structure- re-create everything. its very weird...
Saving to a sdcard or internal?

Is the by chance a file in the directory called .nomedia I believe is what it's called? I get weird issues with pictures downloaded from time to time .I had the nomedia file deleted that and haven't had any issues with images since

.nomedia doesn't directly affect files. It's used to tell galleries/music players/etc not to bother reading the current folder. It will make stuff not appear in apps, but it doesn't touch files. There's no reason for that to be in a stock download folder, but never hurts to check.
Love the signature btw
Is she going into her "downloads" app in her app drawer and clearing that list out? I know I accidentally do that from time to time.
Try using File Manager to move them to external storage. Does she maybe have a cleaning app that clears out her downloads?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Alright so a little more info-
When she downloaded Quikpic to try and view the thumbnails the program actually removed them. So thats why the templates were deleted this time.
However, one thing is certain- The download is set to internal storage and the category folders are on the Micro SD.
So if she moves them to a category on the Micro SD they are fine and never turn into a black template/thumbnail. If she keeps them in the Download Folder however, they eventually turn to a black thumbnail ans stay there until maually deleted... its like the picture disapears and the thumbnail looses contact with the original file.
-Thanks again for everyones help so far... :good:
Will check this tonight... .nomedia thing-
Be sure to ask what thenewguy1 asked.
If all else fails, she can just install a download manager and have it intercept and save the pictures to a different folder.
Also, does this ONLY happen to pics? No other file types are affected?
Alright so some wild updates... may be onto something (She doesn't clear downloads and she doesn't have the no image file)
However... it happened again yesterday- Here is the scenario on how it occurs.
She has an email with a image in Gmail-
Saves the picture-
File is saved in Download Folder and visible within Gallery Download Folder-
She then takes the email within Gmail and moves it to a folder-
Several minutes later this happens to the image-
Blacked out thumbnail and the size and data or there but no image-
Unable to see it at all or explore for it-
It gets better, if she moves it back to the Inbox or where it was saved orig the image will reappear-
So in theory its like it saves the shortcut to the image and when the image is moved the shortcut defaults to blank template.
What causes this??? LOL Thanks = )
So she's saving from the gmail app? Or from gmail web?
She clicks on pic -> menu -> save ?
Is that how she's saving them?
In trying to simulate your problem, somehow my thumbnail cache got screwed lol, cleared through quickpic and it seems to be working fine, haven't seen it black out yet... for me it doesn't give me the save option, it shows me the picture, and if I check the folder or gallery, it's already been saved to disk.
Now gmails tripping lol
Try clearing data and see if this problem persists.

How is she saving it? I am also trying to replicate the issue. I am opening the attachment, hitting menu and save. I have moved the email but the image is still working fine. If she uses file manager to move them to another folder does it also corrupt the file? Is she somehow saving a link or shortcut? I am about lost
