I have >350 albums automatically generated. Nearly all of albums comes from a folder managed by Obsidian. I’m having trouble to understand why the system create an album for every folder on my device.

If I only need photos and screenshots album, How do I remove access of album creation for a specific folder?

One reason I’m asking is because I’m having trouble locating the photo album i want to backup with immich, it is really hard to locate an album in randomly ordered list of hundreds of albums

thanks a lot in advance

Android does not have anything to do with this. It is between your camera and gallery apps.

It does - this is how Android’s media scanner works.

I have tried grapheneos default / aves libre / google photos, all of them have the same albums created. I think this is a system wise problem
