It would be great if Photos application displayed folders like in file manager.
For example, you send a folder named Christmas on your N900, then the Photos app should recognize it as a folder, not just display all the images it contains.

ya i hated when i saw album art appearing in photos but its not a bug i just didnt understand how media player sorts songs. instead of folders/subfolders it uses tags.

i used mp3tag to organize my albums and it has worked. n900 did put couple of album arts even after that. just delete them, simple as that.

your album art wont appear in your photos

Apple take 2 years an a half to put one of the most basic function of any interface on iPhone... COPY/PASTE, yes .. that tiny little BIG detail missed ... and you are upset with Nokia for this? hehehe!

i am sure that Nokia will fix this detail on gallery viewer soon ... and not 2 years later ...

cya!

hi!

i ve got another solution for this problem. if you rename all the cover pictures from folder.jpg to .folder.jpg (i.e. add a dot in front), these files will be hidden. after that they don't show up in pictures but still in media player (works even if the index is rebuilt from new).

anyhow, since it is hardly feasible to rename all those files manually, i have written a bash script to rename all folder.jpg to .folder.jpg. please use at your own risk.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

for file in $(find . -name 'folder.jpg'); do
newfile=$(echo $file | sed s/folder.jpg/.folder.jpg/g)
echo -e "$file" "$newfile"  "\n_____________\n" >> rename_log.txt
echo -e "$file" "$newfile"  "\n_____________\n"
mv "$file" "$newfile"
done

IFS=$SAVEIFS
put all of this into a file called rename.bs and replace all instances of folder.jpg with your cover filename. then, copy to your audioclips folder and execute in xterm using sh rename.bs. best comment the line that does the renaming (mv) by putting # in front to preview the changes. please only use this if you know what youre doing!

if you want to delete all remaining gif files, add the following code before the last line (IFS):
Code:
for file in $(find . -name '*.gif'); do
echo -e "$file" "\n_____________\n"
rm "$file"
done
hope this helps!
cheers pcerf

is there actually a way of rearranging the order of the pictures in the gallery or in a folder?

i don't think there's an easy way. you could rename the files and put numbers in front, that would probably sort them in the file manager. as to the gallery: change the pictures' dates and sort by date

actually the post was started to hide images from being shown in photos app. for this the easiest way is to store the images in a folder named "private" (without quotes)... they are no longer shown in photos.. works for me.. try and reply.
