Gallery! Hiding Images from main gallery

20 replies · 8,923 views · Started 26 May 2006

O.k can anyone help me out with this, I work in a phone shop so every now and then i let a customer have a play with my N80, now the problem is, i have some "private pics" I've taken of my girlfriend with the ace 3 megapixel camera, is there anyway of hiding these in some way from the main gallery?, Ive tried moving them into different folders but no joy!
It was a bit embarrasing when i took a picture of the inside of the shop on the camera gave it to the customer to have a look at and realised he was staring as my girlfriends ass! 😮 Help please!

Yeah they bought it and Insurance and a 2 gig mem card and a bluetooth headset, made a killing on commission!!!!

I badly need this too. I have pics n vids of my girlfriend and other vids and pics i jus dont want people seeing as soon as they look through the gallary. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US! 😮

hi.

I have managed this. I use the handy zip software and zip the photos up this way they do not show in media player but you can open them in file manager and look at them..

how about that..
Ps Dont tell my Wife..

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do this yet. Once there is a file manager that can set a file to hidden that shoudl work

Haha I think we should set up a private thread with just "pictures of our wives and girlfriends", just to show how good or bad the 3 Mp camera is of course 😉

surfshag can u send me that handy zip tool please!

CHEERS 😊

p.s. Does it zip folders? or just files cos i dont want to have to do every single on seperately......

Hi.

It just zips files but its easy to open the zip and add files infact its very easy.
The software is at home so I will post tonight unless I can find a link.
You can get the demo free from there website.

YES! It works... messing around with it now, see what i can hide. CHEERS!

Having some problems now, but if anyones got any other ideas then that would be great! I would just like a "hide" function withing file manager, that would be the easy answer surely, why dont nokia jus sort it out! N80 is really buggy with loadsa other functions too.

does this method work for hiding music?
I find it really annoying when using my phone to listen to music, and then it plays ringtones I've added to the phone 😞
