I have loads of images for apps and tomtom poi's etc (not to mention a few 'sensitive' pics and vids ;) ) and they all show up in the gallery....how do you stop that?

Thanks.

Sadly, you can't.

Best way to protect others from your "sensitive" pics (;) ) is to only view them via albums.

It's a feature :rolleyes: :con?

Remove the files from the Images gallery(those files which u don't want pple to see...) and move them to folders like Others or create a folder for them.

This won't work as the Gallery function scans the entire phone and displays all images found, regardless of location or folder name :(

You know, I read that and thought "Bloody hell, of course !" but I tried it and it doesn't seem to work 100% What I got was a load of broken thumbnails :con?

I'll investigate further.

Get a 3rd party file browswer that allows you to change the attributes. Can't think of the name of the one I've used before, but it is out there. Y-something or other. Works fine, and all your pr0n is safe from prying eyes (which is presumably what these "sensitive" pictures are...

;)

Can't seem to get this to work for the TomTom images though :(

Browse the memory card on the PC (via a USB key reader), remove the _PALbtn folders (these store the thumbnails).

Then move the files you want to "hide" into a hidden folder.

Use something like Resco PhotoViewer to browse for the hidden folders. Visible in Resco, but not visible in the Gallery.
