Public bug reported: I've put about 30GB of music in my SD card. Some of the music files don't have embedded cover art and their folders contain those cover art images.
When I then opened the Gallery app, I noticed I now have thousands of "pictures" imported from the cover art images showing up in my Events and Pictures tabs, cluttering the real pictures I've taken with the camera. Is there a way to tell either mediascanner or the Gallery app to ignore a path and not import/show the images there? E.g. similar to Android, where you can put a .nomedia file in a folder and its images won't show up in the picture viewer. ** Affects: gallery-app Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mediascanner2 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gallery-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mediascanner2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gallery-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mediascanner2 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mediascanner2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Provide a way to hide images + Provide a way to hide images from a particular location -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445755 Title: Provide a way to hide images from a particular location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gallery-app/+bug/1445755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
