Browsing hidden pics

2 replies · 3,197 views · Started 22 January 2009

hello, i've used and abused the 'search' function and finally managed to 'hide' pics of my gf with ybrowser 😊 now it cannot be accessed from anywhere...that's good. i can only access with ybrowser, which is even better as most people i know never heard of the word 'symbian':tongue:.

but i'm having one trouble now. when i view normal pics in gallery, i can go backward/fwd just by using navigation button, looks like its not working while in y browser. i mean- when i access a hidden folder in ybrowser and open a pic in that folder, i cannot go back/fwd to view other pics in that folder. i have to exit the pic and open a new one.

the folder, along with pics in it are all hidden. i then 'unhid' the files, keeping the folder'hidden'...but no luck in going back/fwd.

i'm also missing the 'thumbnails', which was a good feature of gallery :frown:

anyone any solution? or any app that might help???

btw, i'm using n95 8GB:icon14:

Y-Browser doesn't offer the facility to browse using the Nav key, no matter whether the folder, or it's contents, are hidden or not. This only applies to Gallery.

The thumbnails are contained in files within your image files and are labelled _PAlbTN. These contain 3 seperate folders, 170x128, 320x320 and 56x42.
You can safely delete these as they may have become corrupted. Then when you open your Gallery again they will reinstate themselves after a few moments.
The _PAlbTN files will be in all your image and video files.
