im just wondering if theres anyway to stop it from showing all images whenever i go into photos? like set it to only open a default folder like the camera folder, instead of showing me every single image on the phone..

you can do exactly this by clicking on the title bar in the photo browser , click on filter by folders (don't know if it's called like this, i'm traducing from german) and then select the default camera folder.

Press the drop down menu at top. Click on filter by folder. Then select camera folder.

indeed u can, but id like it to save that preference so it will automatically whenever i go into photos

The setting reset each time. Therefore you have to do >filter on>set by name each time which is annoying.

is there anyway to stop it from resetting?

ah okay, sorry then I misunderstood.
i am also interested if this would be possible...

Id also like it to filter. Im all but certain there must be a folder that one can create that is ignored by the media tracking. Possibly give it hidden properties?

Same with vids. It's only a matter of time i reckon

hopfully, this shud of really been beta tested before shipped out, theres alot of features they could of added in on this phone. id of thought someone out there with abit of linux knoledge would of figured out how to change a command line somewhere so we can set it to filter to our own choice of folder.

I've seen in another thread that the software wich indexes and find média is Tacker.
Openning a Xterm, you'll find its configuration in .config/tracker/tracker.cfg

There's an option to ignore directories... NoWatchDirectory.
Actually there is :

• $HOME/MyDocs/core-dumps
• $HOME/MyDocs/cities
• $HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/RingTones
• $HOME/MyDocs/tmp
• /media/mmc1/tmp
• /media/mmc1/cities
