I've got quite a few folders on my homescreen for bookmarks and apps etc and would like to change the sorting criteria of the items or even better sort them how I like so they are placed in the folder how I like.
Anyone able to do this or have any ideas?
Cheers
For Apps in a folder I have not yet found a solution.
For Bookmarks I am using the LiveBook app (a Live Folder). It will show all Bookmarks alphabetically - which is exactly what I want, but your needs may be different of course.
Seasons greetings all,
You might like the idea of this - I'm trying to combine Wallswitch (wallpaper switching app) and Eyewitness (pic of the day from The Guardian) to autoswitch my wallpapers. Now, Wallswitch can only take its images from folders in the home directory, but I can set up Tasker to copy all the files from Eyewitness' image folder to a Wallswitch folder easily.
However, Eyewitness is a messy pup and keeps its hi-res files and its thumbnails together! It names the hi-res files YYYY-MM-DD.jpg and the thumbs YYYY-MM-DDtn.jpg. Does anyone know how I can filter out the thumbs while copying the hi-res files?
I've recently added quite a few applications to my SD Card to free up memory. Ever since then my Gallery is flooded with necessary 'pictures' from the apps.
Would adding the .nomedia folders remove them from my gallery without affecting their functionality?
I am not sure what the correct solution is but do know that Gallery apps such as QuickPic allow you to ignore folders. You just need to long press them and choose ignore. Works great.
Whenever I open the gallery, all of the artwork from my mp3s is mixed in with the my pictures. This makes it next to impossible to find something quickly. Is there an easy way to organize them out or hide them without clicking each individual picture? This seems very dumb. My iphone, nor any other phone I've ever used does this. Thoughts?
In your music folder, put an empty text file with the filename 'nomedia' (without the quotation marks and file extention). Then in settings > apps > gallery , select clear data.

Sorry for being dense, but the hierarchical structure you listed doesn't work.
Did you mean setting>general(tab)>apps?....if so "gallery" isn't listed there. If I go into gallery and try to move the photos, it just randomly moves them around.....no labels or anything. I don't understand. Do I need to go into my windows explorer on my pc to adjust the folders?....that seems dumb that you can't easily do it from the phone.

It normally has to be done on the computer I believe but it might not let the android media scanner find your music or use the pictures for album artwork. I honestly I just use QuickPic and it has the options to hide(.no media) and exclude folders and I just select exclude folders from my main music folder so it doesn't include them.

Hi!
Yes i meant setting>general(tab)>apps. Under apps if you scroll horizontally u will find gallery under 'ALL' tab.
In order to move files, folders or any other operation to a file or folder, you need to use a file manager app. There are different file managers available for android. Personally i use ES file manager. A pretty good app called just File Manager is already there in G Pro. You can use it to manage your folders.
As jesi.james above pointed out putting the .nomedia (sorry i missed the '.' before nomedia in my previous post) file in your music folder will hide the album arts from the gallery but it will hide the music files from the music player as well. I am sorry i wasnt aware of that. i do not store my music on my phone. I listen to it from play music.
To solve your problem, i found that there is an option in the gallery menu to hide/show albums. You can choose the albumd you do not want to see in your gallery. If you have a large music collection, you will have to select the albums one by one. Frustrating.
Next option is to use Quickpic. This is a very good alternative to the default gallery and it gives you options to select folders you want show or hide in quickpic as mentioned by the guy above.

It's kind like confusing to see so many different folders of picture showing up in my gallery......i've tried using 3rd party app from playstore. But all these different music folder just keep showing up.
I know that LG default Gallery allows u to hide them, but tapping hundreds of folder to hide is crazy....
is there any way to make gallery to hide those music folder pictures by default ?
