create a folder and put "." infront of it.

eg: .video

this will hide the Video folder. I think, lol, all linux does that.

If I change the listing from Video-Date to Video-Category, I lose the thumbnails, but the title is still in the listing.


Thanks
This is not the solution you're looking for, but:
There's an ongoing more general discussion about how to protect your personal content when you hand the device to someone else.
See the proposed solutions here:

You might want to vote for one of the solutions or add a new one.

Why not just keep your "private" material on a separate sd card for those private moments

I have the opposite problem in that I have a load of video thumbnails in the list that I cannot find a way to remove.

I am guessing there will be an App for that very soon.. anybody remember the Safe application on s60? got me out of trouble many times with my past GF... was a win win too

GF: "why have you pssword protected whats in the safe? what are you trying to hide"

Me: "its not good your yours eyes, i am protecting you from going blind"

back and forth for 30 minutes, argument insues make up sex followes later that night.

Brillient!!!

For completeness, another possibility is mentioned in this thread by AnimS. Using the tracker.cfg file to specify folders that you don't want indexed/tracked/thumbnailed.

Seems the way to go... if it works, which I haven't tried. ;)

EDIT:
Try to play with this section... looks promising:
[Watches]
# List of directory roots to index and watch (separator=;)
WatchDirectoryRoots=$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/;$HOME/MyDocs/.documents/;$HOME/MyDocs/.videos/;$HOME/MyDocs/.images/;$HOME/MyDocs/.camera/;
# List of directory roots to index but NOT watch (separator=;)
CrawlDirectory=
# List of directory roots NOT to index and NOT to watch (separator=;)
NoWatchDirectory=$HOME/MyDocs/core-dumps/;$HOME/MyDocs/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones/;$HOME/MyDocs/tmp/;/media/mmc1/tmp/;/media/mmc1/cities/;
# Set to false to completely disable any watching
EnableWatching=true
Look how they include $HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/ but exclude $HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones/
You could do the same, have $HOME/MyDocs/.videos/ in the "watch"-list (where it is now), create a new folder "private" in there and then include $HOME/MyDocs/.videos/private to the NoWatchDirectory= line.

Renaming extension isn't implemented in File Manager..
Apparently it's out of scope for this sort of file management function in File Manager

It'll be implemented but you have to wait at least until Harmattan

If you want it, complain, by filing in Brainstorm and spam vote or ask someone nicely to write a plugin

This tip is good and working one. Allthough you need to clear up the tracker-database after doing this or MediaPlayer will show your thumbnails even the video doesn't exists on the original folder anymore (at least I had to do that to get thumbnails removed from media player).

Sorry to hijack, something quite similer.


How does one go around hidding .desktop files?

I can get the images to become 'hidden' bu the .desktop files still remain visable in the .Images folder?

I have hidden in the file set to true.
