Gallery 3d settings?

Is there any way to disable gallery 3d from displaying my Picassa pictures?
Thanks in advance.

Settings ->Sync -> you @ Gmail -> Clear check picasa...

I know you're asking about Picasa sync issues, I don't know if they are saved on your sdcard but this may help:
Drop a .nomedia file in a folder and all media files become invisible to the gallery..
A .nomedia file is just an empty text file saved with no name and the extension .nomedia
You can make the file yourself, or just copy one of the many that are already on your card and paste the copy in whatever folder you want hidden from the gallery.
There was a bug last year that caused previously indexed media to be deleted if they were subsequently hidden. I'm pretty certain it's been fixed but you might want to test on a file you don't mind losing before you wipe out your entire porn collection
edit: I'm running CM7rc0 and it appears the bug has been fixed. It's an old bug, I would guess late versions of 2.2 are fixed also. I just tried this on some junk files, rebooted and they are still on my card but not in my gallery

Amazing. Exactly what I needed. I never even thought to look there.
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Adding a folder to the Gallery

I've used FolderSync to sync the photos from my Rezound onto my Nexus, they are in the Pictures folder, but none of the pictures show up in the Gallery app. It doesn't seem like there is a way to add a folder to the Gallery app unless I've missed it. Does anyone know of a way to add the Pictures folder to the Gallery app? Or will I have to move the pics to the DCIM folder? Thanks!

I can't be the only one who has tried adding photos to my tablet, can I?

the gallery app should pick up all images in the device.. It scans for them and links to them as they are created or put onto the device..

mine isn't doing this. I've opened the Gallery app and hit refresh and it still isn't picking them up.

I have the same problem on mine. I've copied a directory of photos, under /sdcard/Pictures/test, hit refesh and they will not appear in Gallery.
The only photos that appear in Gallery are those from "Download", "Profile Pictures" and "Scrapbook Photos".

Normally it's automatic.
Silly question: have you restarted your Nexus 7?

I'm having the same problem, but it only picks up my Picasa photos. I but then when I don't sync my Picasa photos the Picasa photos still show up.. I restarted several times... Any solution?

Me too
I also have copied 2 folders to the picture directory which gallery does not see.
AND nothing else opens individual pics either. ES Image, FE Image, nor Image gallery.
I don't know if it matters.....These are .tif files.
Thanks

Picture Question

Hello guys, my dad has just bought a nexus 7, and I must admit it is a really nice device.
However there are some pictures on it and we cant find how to delete them, i have even been in the system files using astro.
I have also hooked it up to a computer and still cant find them, however they show up in the gallery of the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Showing nothing in there, been and had a look in there already thinking it was in there

maybe its pictures that have been uploaded to g+/picasa, they will show in the gallery even though they arent in your device.

You can delete pictures using the stock gallery app. Open the picture then tap on it and you should see a trash icon at the top right. If they are in an album, just long-press on it to see the trash icon.

Disable syncing of Google Photos in settings/accounts/Google.
Then, delete the cache folder in/sdcard/Pictures. That's where they are stored.

try copying to different directory, it should re-find all of them.

Copying, or straight up "move" them?

hehe either, you got me, I would move to another directory and see if it scans the new dir.
copy will also work, then make sure it see 's your new dir, then delete the other.

That was the first thing suggested and I tried that and it didn't work! :/
PS- You don't hafta have tibu to do that, you can do it from Menu--->Manage Apps-->Gallery--->Wipe data/cache.

Still hasn't found them? what the heck is going on, go into gallery settings and manually add the directory, it will force the directory to be scanned then.
The Ax says good luck and good day!

adding photos to facebook by folder

I am trying to add a photo to a post in Facebook but it only gives me the gallery with 1.000's of photos to sort through. I can't look by folder. and at that even in the gallery app it won't show my folders i have synced to my phone with Cheetah Sync. So the photos i am looking for for Facebook won't be found from the gallery app so therefore i can't add it to Facebook. I'm pissed. I even changed my defaults to Quikpic and no difference. what do I do?

Stop using Facebook?
I kid (kinda).
Is there no menu to swipe out from the left? Usually it gives you options to choose there.

So it's a Facebook issue? I don't remember having this problem with the GS7. I'll have to look at it and compare. I was thinking I had this problem with my iPhone 6+ i had. It's just ridiculous to have to go through thousands of photos at random to find something when I know exactly what folder it's in.

maybe you were using a samsung pre-installed version of facebook, i never do anyway, nor have i ever seen a option with folders.

uninstall ..phones run so better without that pig

I use Facebook in the web browser. Uploaded a photo via "folder" that way. Can't justify having an app for Facebook when the web site functions better.
