Re: how to hide video files
 
under xterm, type these commands :
Code:
mkdir /home/user/.porn
vim /home/user/
add to the file (if you don't know vim, just push the key "i" and start typing) :
Code:
alias hideporn='mv /home/user/MyDocs/porn/* /home/user/.porn/; rmdir /home/user/MyDocs/porn/'
alias showporn='mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/porn/; mv /home/user/.porn/* /home/user/MyDocs/porn/'
now when you want to look at them or access the directory from windows, type "showporn" in xterm, they will be shown in the "porn" directory in the file manager. Don't forget to type "hideporn" when you want to hide it.

Re: how to hide video files
 
If you don't want your phones player to show some files, I think the answer is the config file /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg. There you should be able to specify some folders that are not indexed by the tracker. Can't really test that right now, since my N900 was stolen... There are also some config examples in this forum.

Re: how to hide video files
 
This is all very strange. When I copied my video folder from the PC to the root directory of N900, the video files don't show up in Media Player list. To make them available, I have to copy them to .video folder on the N900.

I then checked my tracker.cfg as naabi suggested and I found that there is a NoWatchDirectory entry and it includes a directory called $HOME/MyDocs/tmp.

And it just so happens that the folder that I copied over from my PC was called tmp and it was sitting on the root directory!!

What coincidence!

Anyway, I've renamed the tmp directory so now all my videos appear in the Media Player list.

So, if you want to hide your videos then you simply have to either add an entry like naabi suggested or change ur video folder to tmp. :D

Re: how to hide video files
 
I just used the "." in front of the file names in a new folder and placed the folder in .video using windows. This worked fine then just use the web browser as the other poster instructed and make the bookmark...simple as pie.

I assume the same can be done with the .images folder as well.

Thx again for all the input folks.

There is more talk about that option here on the forums if you search.
man I did not find any post about this, can you elaborate?

Write in xterminal:

vi /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg

Re: how to hide video files
 
It would appear the tracker avoids folders named "Private" and it would appear this works for both images and videos. Discovered this by accident really. And it's a bit odd since the private folder is not mentioned in the tracker.cfg.
