You can't since maemo indexes even hidden folders and files.

mkdir is the command to make directories. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkdir

/tmp is cleared when the device reboots , be warned .
and will eat up rootfs space .

if you want to stop media player , and image app tracking your files , install tracker-cfg and disable all indexing activity .

I don't know about the N900, but many linux systems clear out /tmp when rebooting. You should probably make sure the N900 doesn't do this before you place important files there.

Case 1: Hide files from being displayed in media player or photos.
Connect device as mass storage. Create a folder named "Private" (do not use quotes "") Put files in it. Maemo doesnt index folders named Private.

Case 2: Hide files from being displayed in file manager as well in the respective applications.

Open Terminal
Code:
cd MyDocs
mkdir .folder
cd .folder
mkdir Private
Note: Make sure there is a '.' before the start of the name of the first folder and Private as the name for the second folder.

Again, do not use Quotes. Hope it helps.

I created a folder called .vids with a full stop in front the folder is then hidden, I used filebox to do this, the folder is not showing in my videos and will not show in file manager. you can then play the videos or music using filebox. ;)
