I just noticed that there is no folder or folder shortcut for music/audio on the Tab S 10.5.
There is a gallery folder, a video folder & a My Files folder, but no music folder.
I have to click on My files icon to get to the Audio option folder, but I can't get that folder to show up on my main page.
Is this normal? I would like the official folder with icon to be on my tablet.

is there a way to organize folders for direct access in both gallery and music, so we can see some organized folders in image gallery, and have the option to add some folders to the playlist in music
is there a way to put images for wallpapers in the htc wallpaper preview?
or what is the simpliest way to add wallpaper from any folder?
If you wish to hide a folder from Android simply add a full stop (or a period - US) before the folder name.
E.g - Media --> .Media
If you don't want Android to scan a particular folder, add a file into that folder without an extension, called "nomedia".
E.g - nomedia.txt = Wrong
- nomedia = Correct
good tips but that's not what i want.
what i need is to make some new custom folders and put in there images and music, and let gallery see the images folders, and let music the new music folders, ex. if i paste images in images folder on sd card or in the dcim folder it will not read it, but making a new folder directly on the root sd card with some images will appear in gallery, is ther a way to make subfolders in images folder or any sd card folder appear in gallery and music player.
i want to browse in music player to a specific folder not let it scan what i have.
it seems as one of the weekest point in android, to have the option to browse folders for multimedia is not something easy by native.
i tried a lot of ways to let the device recognise or browse to folders with no success, in fact, music player may browse unfriendly to a specific folder, and gallery may recognize a custom folder on the sd card each time u reboot ur device, but it will not refresh any folders u add, edit or remove, unless u reboot, even force close gallery and then reopen will not do the trick. i tried even (3d gallery, flan, and 3d gallery v2) all have the same no refresh list unless reboot.
SOLUTION:
call it temp or workaround, but it did the trick for what i want and what others may want:
1-music folder (nice browser for music, some will not like the UI, but it's simply a music browser and do what it should do) no eq, no sound enhancement.
2-power amp (advanced music player with good folders support)
3-quickpic (image folder browser, that will do what gallery is intended to do, plus the ability to see all sdcard folders and refresh them at any change with no reboot) and even faster than any other gallery.
this is my experience and tests, please correct me if i'm wrong at any point.
Hi guys,
I'm really struggling with saving album art in poweramp so it displays every time without having to download it. And it not showing up in Gallery.
Is there a way to download the album art once and save it?
I have tried downloading album images from google put each one in the corresponding folder on my SD card and renamed each one to: albumart.pamp
it works fine but despite it being a .pamp file my gallery still displays bloody thumbnails of each one, very frustrating!!
Does anybody know a way of saving album art and it NOT showing up in the Gallery?
Thank you!
Download Quickpic from the Market. Simple long press the Album Folder and choose Hide it. Quickpic create a file named ".nomedia" in the right folder.
Or you can do it with a Filebrowser by your own (like Solid Explorer or ES File Manager). Go in the folder and create a new file, name it ".nomedia" (without the quotes). Done.

Thank you for your reply.
I am wanting to find a way of these not showing up in the stock ICS Gallery. Will this method work for stock Gallery?
I have tried Quickpic before and I really didn't like it.
Thank you for your time
I think so, but i can´t remember. I use Quickpic and also Poweramp.
Just try it... create the new file (.nomedia) and put it in your Music Folder and see what happend. If it don´t work... erase the .nomedia file
I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.
I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I appreciate it but how would I go about doing that? Not a complete newb, just a partial one.
I use an app called es file explorer for all sort of file/folder related tasks.
I browse to the folder on my internal or external card and hit new to create file in that folder and name that file .nomedia

Tried that but it doesn't seem to be working. I"m searching the device for other places to do this with and see if that works.
That worked! Thanks alot!
solution to this annoying problem that occurs in the gallery? I installed messanger Facebook or other applications I appear emoticons.
You need to have have a file on the map you want to exclude from the HTC gallery named ".nomedia" then this folder will be excluded from scans from HTC gallery. If you look on external sd and then on the folder Android you will see such a file, copy it and paste it on the root of the folders you want to exclude.
the folder is not there, you could explain? the destination folder and paste it where I find it?
Open the Gallery app tap the settings icon in the top right corner (the 3 dots) and choose "Show/hide albums".
Now you can choose which albums is visible in the Gallery app.

sorry I meant sd card>android>data then you will see a file named ".nomedia" copy it and put it on the folders/maps you want to exclude from scanning.
That file is also present in other folders just search a bit with (htc) file explorer.

I did not understand what folder copy / maps you want to exclude from scanning?
HTC gallery app scans your maps/folders looking for images. In the facebook messenger folder ( internal memory or external) there are images that's why you see them on the HTC gallery. If you use the ".nomedia" file and put it on the root of the facebook messenger folder then HTC gallery will not scan this folder for images and therefore you will not see them .on the gallery.
How can I create shortcuts to files or folders and put them on a HomeScreen background?
When tapping on folder shortcuts they should be opened with the default file manager.
Or (in case of files) they should be opened by the corresponding default program (e.g.videoplayer for *.mp4 videos)
Is this possible at all?
