rename the folder that contains the media to .nomedia...or .anything for that matter... technically it's the apps fault for not reading from a hidden folder, I don't know why apps don't make automatic .folder folders...
thanks man, appreciate the help

I've placed pictures on an SD card in media/pictures. Most are in sub-folders with only a handful with no designation just floating around in media/pictures. When I went into pictures to choose a wallpaper EVERYTHING is there. All out in the open. No groups. Even album pictures from my media/music folder.
What's going on? I'd just like to, from the home screen, hit menu > wallpaper > pictures and have them show up in groups so I can just go to my media/pictures/wallpaper folder.
How can I just add walls to the Wallpaper Gallery? What file explorer is good to get from the Market Place?
I've looked around but the answers are scattered and file explorers are mentioned but no one's said outright "yeah, use this one..."
rly? i mean rly!? come on now...
So much activity around the forums and no one knows what to do for sorting pics on an SD card or accessing the default location for wallpapers...

Hi, how is you VB. Coding?
I had the same issue and I just wrote a simple program to rename the .jpg’s in the date order I wanted.
I can post the code if you want? I think its possible to do it in VBA as well, but I found there was a lot more information relating to the .NET stuff
Thanks but I was really just looking for a recommended directory structure for the SD card and a way to get the gallery to NOT show album art for my music. I tried naming the folder .music but then the phone could not find the music!
Also, I have custom ringtones/mp3's used as ringtones on my SD which the phone loses after having mounted it to the pc?! I set a ringtone for a contact then at some point I mount the phone to USB and then I find on my contact that the ringtone is now "unknown." I tried copying the mp3's I most use as ringtones to the phone but I was told that it could not be done by AndExplorer...
Kinda sad at this point. :\
One of the biggest frustrations/issues that I have with the HTC Gallery is when viewing pics it displays ALL pictures found on your phone.... and categorizes them by folders (which is nice, but no as helpful).
Is there a way to manually set which folders be displayed ?
I hate downloading new ICON packs and once I extract them to my SD Card, my picture count goes from 50 to 250. This then leads me to having to scroll through all the stupid icons to view some of my pictures...
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I'm aware of going in to settings and unchecking "All Downloads" however, this still shows App images and so forth.
As a side note this same issue is present witch the music player selecting all audio on the sdcard so when I scroll through my music widget, I hear Let's Golf sound files - ERRR
this would be great.
If you put a . (period) in front of the folder name with astro or something, its hidden. You may have to rescan the sdcard though.

Thanks for the info, do you know if by putting a period in front of a specific folder does this limit the functionality; i.e. prevents the app from work properly.
My issue is programs that are moved on to the SD that do not have a "." before them which contain pngs or jpegs show up in my gallery. if I place a "." before will the app still function ?
Search for a file called .nomedia , when you put that file in the folder containing pics, they don't show up in the gallery.

I wasn't sure, so I added a period to the folder that my cubed album cover images are in. They ended up disappearing from my gallery, but still showed up in cubed.
I think loungelizard might have a simpler solution though.

Theres an app in the market called nomedia that makes putting the nomedia file in a folder easier
I have some apps which use ".txt" files for configs - and so they show up in "MyLibrary" which is sort of annoying, and I can't just delete them.
Is there some way to hide them?

Does the .nomedia file stop MyLibrary from seeing the files in that directory?

Don't think so - I tried adding one and reboot, but it still shows up.
I didn't have this problem with the 3 :-\
Every time I open Google Photos I get the question to back up folders with pictures of stickers, ads etc. I don't think this is a setting but a bug?
Adding a .nomedia file helps but they keep on coming.
Anyone else noticing this?
I'm having the same issue! Very annoying when trying to organize my Google photos. I have over 8 different ad albums. Deleting only deletes some of the files.
Yes. OOS 9.0 isn't generating the .nomedia files properly for those folders. There's two ways to handle this:
1) Use the Nomedia app from Google Play to hide individual folders.
2) Use a file manager app (not all work) to create a .nomedia folder in android/data. This way is a bit more finicky and complicated, but will cover all the folders contained within.
After you do either of those steps, reboot the phone, and those folders will be hidden.

Those will be hidden, but later we will have new ones. Hopefully there will be a bug fix [emoji106]

If you put a .nomedia file in the android/data folder, it will cover all folders created in the future inside there as well. The only other place I had to put one was for WhatsApp stickers in WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Stickers.
I do agree that OP needs to do a bugfix for this, though.

Hi all,
If I am in the wrong subforum please help me posting this where I need to.
I have this annoying thing with my new OnePlus 6T running the OxygenOS 9.0.11 (Android 9.0 Pie) where the OnePlus Gallery shows me all icons, pics, videos and so on from the games and apps I am using so I end up deleting between 500-1000 items almost every day.
Is there a way to turn this all so the apps don't download all of this?
I know this might be to save bandwidth on cellular data but I don't need this so it would be nice to be able to turn this off.
So far I the OxygenOS on my OnePlus it's fast it's great it have a few quirks here and there or just me since I been using iPhone for 4-5 years.
Look in my signature for phone description.

I've noticed that thumb nails from game ads and things like that were being saved. Someone said to create a file and name it no. Media. But that didn't work for me

Its nor a .txt file nor a folder
Just creat a new file without any name and only extension nomedia inside the folder which you dont want to show in gallery
The file is .nomedia

My problem is that all the icons, pics, and so on from the app gets saved into the same default folder as all my pictures from the camera so this solution doesn't do what I want then.
If I cannot stop the apps from doing this and I cannot hide them what to do then???
