You can do the show hide folders via Menu > Show and Hide and then select what you want.
Otherwise, you might find an app like QuickPic better.

You can also use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager to creat a folder and place the specific pictures you want in it. The Gallery app will automatically find the folder and show it with your other picture folders.
I'm not too sure but I believe quickpic (download from market, it's free) can create folders and move pics. Plus it's a good gallery replacement. Fast and you can sort folders by name or date and also sort the photos in the folders the same.

Just as T-Macgnolia suggested, the ES File Manager (free app) in Google Play does it for you. And then in Gallery you can Show/Hide the folders you want.

it seems like it just puts every type of picture in my gallery, i dont want album art covers, screenshots, etc... in my gallery.
I would like to add specific folders to show up only. Is this possible?

Ditto. I only want what I stick in the Pictures folders to show up... All that Album Art is a PITA to sort through.

I did a little research and at least for the album art, if you name your .jpg - albumart.jpg it will be excluded. all mine were cover.jpg and i renamed them to albumart.jpg and they no longer show.
but i would like to know other exclusions or options that we can choose, specifically on how to choose a default folder only to scan.
Create a folder with a dot at the beginning. I'll look for the link later.

? How's that prevent other folders from showing up though?
I've finally got all of my album art out of my gallery, it seems that there were TONS or .jpg's per album (up to 6). I deleted a bunch of "follder.jpg" and a bunch of "album art.jpg" there were also quite a few <album name>_front.jpg.
Delete anything that's not containing "albumart" (one word) and you should be all set.
Thanks for the heads up on the albumart string!

Actually I found out, if your album art is appended to the file itself (like it should be).
You can safely just do a "del c:\music\*.jpg /s" (or wherever your music folder is at from Windows) and it'll delete all the crap for you.
Nice to get that stuff out of there!
folder.jpg files should be fine, you can leave those in there, they don't show up in the album.
if you create a file called .nomedia in a folder, it won't be scanned
The gallery SHOULD have an option to tell it what folders to look in/not look in. Are there any other good photo viewer apps available? I've tried a few, but most just suck.
Greetings All,
Just a quick question. I've noticed recently (well really about a couple weeks now) that my gallery is filled with individual folders with single icons of the apps I have downloaded. Thus when I open up the gallery I have to scroll for what seems like forever just to find a folder with my pics.
This is annoying because I have a number of apps on my phone. I've found my self searching for folders of pics that were in between these single icon folder that I zoomed past thinking they were organized in some logical order.
I'm wondering if this is because I have moved a number of apps to my sd card? How can I fix this?
P.S. I've attached a pic of my gallery and these nuisance icons.
go into the folder that icon is in and create a new file named ".nomedia" (without quotes)

Thanks zephiK.
Can you tell me how to figure out what folder the icons are in? I've tried using Astro File Manger with no luck because I don't really now where to look.
Is it possible to filter the pictures which appear in the Samsung Gallery on the DC? Each time I start it up it is filled with TONS of pictures I do not want, including Google map fragments as well as album covers from my music files...pretty much making the display a mess.
I looked in Settings > Applications > Manage applications as well as Menu in the gallery and did not see any options...
All I want to see are my pictures in "My Pictures" folder on my SD card as well as the camera (DCIM folder if I must)!
Thanks!
Try QuickPic, free from the market.
You can select which folders it loads from, and it loads much faster due to a cache. Also it displays pics in higher resolution, so you can zoom in.
Much better than stock gallery.
Or go into each folder of the images you don't want to see with a file browser and create a ".nomedia" file - sans quotation marks.
Definitely try Quickpic. It is great.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. If I put it in a folder such as "My Music", will it block all of my album subfolders underneath? If not, Quickpic here I come!
Thanks everyone!!!

I believe it does. What I think happens is it stops searching the contents of that folder, including subfolders, once it sees the file.
If you have music in there too, they might be blocked from showing up in a media player.
So here is the deal. Any old or saved picture will not show up as a gallery in any gallery app. no thumbnails nothing. if you go to the file manager, the picture is there, you may open it up and view it in the gallery app. but as soon as you exit that view, the photo will not show up in the gallery app. If you take a picture, only that picture will show up in the gallery, thumbnail and all. all old pictures are still there, but no thumbnail. Anybody got any ideas?

Your media store might be outdated.
Try forcing the mediascanner to run by using an app from the play store. There are tons of them

Don't forget to hit thanks!
Also check if there's a file called ".nomedia" that stops the mediascanner from scanning that folder. If it's there just delete it.

Thank you very much.. You saved my life. There were tons of unsaved pics of my 2 month old son. I was scared to death.
How did the .nomedia file get created in the first place?
Thank you
Regards
Raghu
Glad I could help. I wouldn't really know why that file got created, perhaps some kind of bug or glitch.
From where to find .nomedia file brother. Still my photos are not getting open. Please tell me in which folder it is there. Thank a ton
But I dont know how to move a photo in the Gallery from one album to a different album in android 7. When I long press the photo, there is no option to copy or move. When I click the 3 vertical dots, there is a move option, then it asks me to select which album I want to move. I dont want to move an album, I want to move a photo. I have the V20...
Can anyone let me know what i'm doing wrong? This should be so simple.

On LG, its called File Manager... and is that the only way? i mean, you used to be able to simply do it from the Gallery without having to open any alternative apps. This is my first LG, I've always used the gallery to moved photos with Samsung Note 2-7.
Which device are you using, there are so many, file/pic manager apps out there, Aviary is my personal favorite. You should give them a try.
