@chase15

Any update on this? Just got hit by this issue today.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

i am having the same problem just noticed it today will have to find a solution and share it...

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

Let me guess? You guys used fasterN9?

Happened to me too. Only reflashing solved the problem. I won't touch fasterN9 again.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

so you saved me a lot of work thanks still i think i can find a fix for this without flashing...

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

I tried with tracker-control --soft-reset and tracker-control --hard-reset both failed to help. Also reindexing with --reindex-mime-type=image/jpg didn't help.

Beware: those commands can delete your sms and contacts. So do a backup first.

thanks for the tips :D

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

I use fastern9 and no problems with the pics.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

try to save any new pic from the internet and let us know if it will appear in the gallery.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

its fine here, using fasterN9 and no problem at all

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

i'm sure the the version of fastern9 giving problems is 0.0.2 or earlier not the latest 0.9.4.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

Hoping you guys will find a solution. :)

I also tried using the tracker command and reset device, didn't work.

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

Now i, too, have been hit with this problem. no, I do not use FasterN9.. This is really irritating...

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.

For me this worked;
I noticed that after a rename a picture showed up again. Also when I rotated a picture.
So I connected the N9 to my PC and used digiKam to 'batch-rename' all 305 pics and they were indexed again ! Moved the pics back to the N9, problem solved.

So, i know its been a long wait, but i finally have the FIX for this!
Its quite easy and takes only 10min to do :D

First i have some screenshots to help:
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1376690048 http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1376690048

The first image is what my gallery was showing, just videos.
The second image is the file that is broken!

Use FileCase or FileBox to navigate to the "home/user/.config/" folder. In there you will see a file named "user-dirs.dirs".
You can open it with the Docs app, and if it is broken it will show just like my image. Next thing you need a text editor to edit this file, or create a new one at your computer or mobile with this lines of code:

# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Download"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

After the creation of the file, save it with the same name "user-dirs.dirs" and remove the .txt extension.
You can also customize the folders if you wish, although i see no point in that. Now the brower downloads works again, but the images are still not appearing at the gallery.
The last thing you have to do, using FileCase or FileBox, rename the Pictures and DCIM folders to .Pictures and .DCIM. This will make them hidden. Rename again without the dot and open gallery. Images appear!
The only data you will lose is the Favorite tag on the images :D

Hope you guys find this useful.

Hello,
thanks for all your help. But it does not work still:mad:
How can i remove the .txt when there ist not .txt extension?

Re: Pictures' not showing up on gallery.
 

No need to make it more complicated than it needs to be. Just edit the user-dirs.dirs file with nano in terminal.
