Hei,
There are loads of features missing in the native Photos application on the N900 and I was wondering whether anyone has come up with a workaround/alternative.
The application shows all the images by default including wallpapers and photos in other folders. Is there any way to modify it such that it doesn't show wallpaper, just shows photos within a particular folder or exclude some folders?

I already knew that but the problem is it doesn't remember those settings. So every time I open the application, I have to tap the top bar and select a folder. The default view of the application is just so completely useless for me because it shows all the wallpapers and it just spoils the fun.
E.g. If I want to show my photos to someone I have to be like oh wait sorry these are the wallpapers and oh thats some private pictures that you shouldn't be seeing let me tap the top bar and change the folder! :P

P.S: make sure you have extra-devel repositories enabled

I also hate the default "show-all-images" behaviour. And it is indeed a shame that normal user would need to use devel-repo to get better experience...

I have an issue with the default photoviewer shortcut. I had a freeze while taking a photo. After a reboot the viewer showed "No images avaliable". I can see them and view them from filemanager though.
Is it possible to reinstall the viewer somehow?
Thanks

In order to avoid to show images from certain directories, you have to fiddle with the configuration of tracker.
If you don't want to use the terminal, there's an app for that: "tracker cfg". Open it and insert the directories to be neglected under "NoWatchDirectory". Then open the menu and do "rebuild databases". When it's done, you won't find the unwanted images any more in the photos app.

Will this tracker-tool remove files from MyDocs if I accept "remove databases and restart tracker"?
