I’ve got a few directories that contain images that I don’t want cluttering up my gallery wall in the software Aves Libre. I placed a .nomedia file within the directories. I recall in the past this has worked insofar as the software no longer displayed those images. But it’s not working right now, and those images are all being shown.
If you won’t be able to get .nomedia to work, you can hide directories in the albums tab in Aves Libre - long press an album, and in the triple-dot menu in the top right you can select “Hide”
This will hide the directory only on Aves’ end, and it will still be able to be accessed in the settings menu, under “Privacy”
Yes, I’m aware of the ability to manually hide a directory. Thank you anyway for making the suggestion. I do wish the app properly respected the .nomedia file. Ah well.
Meanwhile I have another crash Android dilemma going on as well. Most of the time Android is freaking amazing to me, and then there are times I wonder how something fundamental and basic has been overlooked.
