By default the Album tab in TouchFLO shows only pics in the pictures folder of the device. Is there anyway to get it to show pictures in Memory card by default?
Go to Album, select the album you want to view in touch flo, then go to menu and select album as favorite.

Thanks! That was easy!

Check setting for "Camera" to say DCIM and "Locations" to storage card\my documents\my pictures (points default to the device).
That's funny - all I've had to do (I no longer use Touch Flo) was just name the image file for the album "folder.jpg". If the jpg is in the same folder as the song being played - it shows up.
Hello, i was wondering if there is a way to prevent all my album art from showing up in the Gallery. I added a lot of music with album art, and now when i open the Gallery to look at my pictures, all the artist cover art is everywhere. Any suggestions? thanks!
Add a file called .nomedia in the folder where the album arts are stored and the gallery will not show that folder's images.

It worked at first... but now the MP3 files wont show up in the music player. if i remove the .nomedia file then they will, but the images appear in the gallery. Is there a way to make the images not appear in the gallery, but have the Music files appear in the music library?
Ok
I copied a bunch of drawings, learning sheets to my sd card however, when I goto gallery is there an option where I can just view that folder and not show everything as it does already like mu mp3 album art to videos. Its really annoying gripe but is there an alternative if not?.
Yep, if you don't want the files in a folder to show up in gallery you just create a file and name it .nomedia inside that folder... This means that the gallery will ignore anything in this folder, whether it's images, mp3's or movie files...
Title says it all... Having my music on my SD Card, with album cover in each folder causes each cover to be inside the gallery.
Thoughts?

Put an empty file called ".nomedia" (with no file extension like ".txt or other) in the folder where the cover pictures are
(you can copy the .nomedia file from others folders)
(if doesn't work immediatly, reboot)
Yeah, this is an issue for me too. I want only pictures in the gallery, not my videos appearing too.
I'll try that, thanks.
But I have everything separated by folder with the album cover where the music is for that album.

The issue there will be if you place the .nomedia file in a music folder that folder won't be read at all by media scanner. So your songs will not be read either. You might be able to use a workaround such as telling your music player what folder to look in but I'm not sure if that will work either with a .nomedia file in there.
Okay, I've got another solution (which takes a bit more time). Let's sum those solutions up now:
You can put a .nomedia file into your music folder. This should stop Androids media scanner from scanning sub-directories, too. Ah, damn. Just read the answer above mine. He's right. This method will "hide" all the files in the music folder and therefore your music player won't be able to find them (except it has an internal media scanner).
Embed the album covers in the mp3 files itself and then delete the cover .jpg file from the directory (most likely this file is hidden). Embedding works with various tools (for example MP3Tag for Windows). This takes way more time than option 1.
I hope this helped
so in android 6.0, when i used my camera, the images (when clicking the little preview button on the bottom) would go to gallery, but would read only from Camera folder where the captured images would be saved.
now with 7.0, if i click that little preview button to the right of the shutter, it starts off showing ALL the pictures from all the folders, including wallpapers, screenshots, etc. and none of them are in order.
can i change that somehow?
also, i can't seem to change another gallery app as default, like QuickPic.. is that really not possible?
Not sure about switching default gallery apps, you can't switch default video player apps, but you can create a file named .nomedia in the folder of each folder you don't want media to show up in the gallery from
Create .nomedia in the folder containing the images/videos etc, reboot the phone, it should remove those images from showing in the gallery, but they will still be accessible form the folders themselves

oh that's cool to know. will that only affect the Gallery or other apps like QuickPic as well?
UPDATE: the .nomedia file affects other apps like QuickPic gallery as well. however, in QuickPic i can click "show hidden" and those appear.
its a decent workaround, however i wish samsung didn't screw up their gallery even more.
thanks for the advice.
