Seems like the gallery-app scans your whole home folder and media folders. Starting the app for the first time takes like 10 minutes for me because of that.
I also store my pictures on a different drive (mounted to /mnt/xyz), and there seems no way to configure that. Should I file a separate bug for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediascanner2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445755 Title: Provide a way to hide images from a particular location Status in gallery-app: New Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mediascanner2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
