Hey everyone. As you know when you import 90 albums into the n900 all the album art goes into images, this is truley annoying is there anyway i can arrange images into folders in the n900?Everything image related seems to just flock in there and it just looks crap with all the images everywhere.

Cheers

The Image viewer does not support categories, and unfortunately, there is no easy way to do what you're asking. The Image viewer app relies on Tracker (the indexer) to find images, and you can tell Tracker not to look in certain folders in its configuration file. As far as I know, that's the only current way to solve this problem, but I'm fairly certain it's been discussed before, so please search the forum before posting back on this thread.

I don't think embedded album art should show up in Photos (it doesn't on mine anyway), so embedding the album art into the MP3 tags is one option. Otherwise you can filter the images by folder/tag which should allow you to get rid of them from the display - unfortunately this gets reset every time the app is run.

Yes, that should work fine. The problem lies in the fact that Tracker's defaults are set to grab pictures from anything in ~/MyDocs. I think a good case could be made for excluding the Music folder from indexing by default, but I guess then someone would eventually put pictures in there and wonder why they weren't showing up - and then we'd have the opposite problem.

The real problem is that the Tracker configuration just says what directories to index. If you exclude the Music folder, it won't find your music for Media Player either. There doesn't seem to be a way to tell it to only index that folder for music files.

That's similar to what I have - mine are all in FLAC format with high-res album art images. I run a script to convert to MP3 and embed a low-res copy of the album art into the ID3 tags, then copy to the N900.
