There should be a "default folder" for it in settings so it would just pick up the pictures from this folder. And yes, I know about showing the standard folder for camera I just think it is more polished this way.

First, I think some people might even want to see all of their image files in the image viewer and complain if it was different.

But it turns out from various threads in this forum hat there is a common theme: Some users just don't want all media on their N900 indexed by tracker. (Some want to prevent certain videos from showing in the media player, you don't want "album art" you store as separate files in the image viewer...)

They all can be solved by configuring tracker, but there's no UI to do this.
So I think this is what we need. A UI for tracker. It must not tell users that it's a UI for tracker, because they won't know what tracker is and what is mean by "exclude from indexing". It should refer to media player and image viewer and give some hints like "add directories you want to hide from meida player here".
(An advanced settings dialog should then allow to control all aspects of tracker.)
