I have tried the .nomedia approach (putting a .nomedia file in all the folders I want to exclude).
It works hiding all the existing pictures, but once you have new picture downloaded from browser or sent through whatsapp, it will still show up...
Kinda annoying.
Using quickpic atm but dont really like it...
help!!!
Download quick pic from the play store, from there you can hide albums or single pictures by holding down on them.

Or something to lock the current photo app?
Thanks.
I just saw two in the market...sexting vault was one I think. Can't remember the other.
PhotoVault works good. You can hide individual pics, they wont show up in your stock gallery. Have to sign in w/ a password in the app to see the blocked pics....
I recommend photovault "sextingvault" just sounds suspicious. Its the same app. But better name.

The Easy way to hide photos is to mount the sdcard to your computer or use Astro or EStrongs File Explorer and just move all the photos you want hidden to another folder on the sdcard and name the folder .Whatever
Just put a Period . in front of the folder name and the Gallery app will not look for photo's in that folder so it hides them.
All you have to do is navigate to the folder with Astro etc and then view the photos from there.
This is how i hide photo's as most people are not going to go using a file explorer to go find photo's

The absolute easiest and probably best gallery app available is quickpic. It has just what you are looking for.
You can also make any folder hidden by adding * before the folder name.

Audio Manager (Hide it pro). Its awesome! It hides pictures, apps, music, and it even locks any apps you want. Best part, is that the app disguises itself as a volume controller app. Check it out.

I just downloaded "Photo Vault" from the market for $1 to do exactly this. It works great. You can even encrypt photos from the main picture folder without having to apply to the others.
Photovault is great, or you can just use astro or some other file browser to rename the folder and put a ". " in front of the name. In Linux this makes the file /folder hidden...
I prefer photovault myself though, out of the available apps.

This really needs to be stickied this is like the 4th time I've said this:
Open notepad and save an empty file with the file type set to all and the name ".nomedia" without quotes and with the period. Then place it in the folder where you don't want the gallery or music player (media scanner) to look.
Same problem
My reason for excluding folders is much different. I have music stored on my card. These music folders include album art. This really clogs up the Gallery.
It looks like the ".nomedia" resolution will not solve this.

I'm having this exact issue myself.
I really like the samsung gallery, but their are no settings to tweak...
I have been using my infuse for about a month now, coming from using iphone since it came out long ago.
One of the most annoying things i have noticed is when I try to see a pic or a video using the default gallery app, it shows all the folders with images eg.music albums, is there an app or a way of just accessing the camera folder only?
Thanks .

Copy a blank text file with the file name ".nomedia" into each folder you don't want to appear in the gallery.
I've been using Quickpic from the market on my cappy instead of the gallery for a while now. Really like it and you can hide or exclude certain folders. it's a bit faster than the stock gallery (at least on the cappy anyway).
I think there may be a way to keep the gallery from looking in certain folders similar to how you can block sound files from music players (put a .nomedia file or something like that in the folder you don't want).

Its blazing fast even on Infuse. Replaced my stock gallery app immediately!
I am using the leaked JB rom and runs great. I would like to be able to organize photos in my gallery app. You know, kids, pets, house ert in their own gallery. I cannot seem to see how to do this even with new pics.
Or is there a better app?

Hmm. I think there are only a few options..
1. Hook the phone up to a computer and make different folders for the different photos.
2. Alternatively, you could go in to your files and create folders from the phone and move the pictures that way, but I think the computer is easier.
Once you've done that, I believe there is a setting in the camera app that allows you to save pictures wherever you want, such as one of those folders. Not perfect, but I think these are your only options.
Don't know which ROM you are on but Synergy Gallery has the option to add albums from the gallery, you hit menu in the gallery and select new album.
That's a good question, I've been wondering the same thing..

Hi all,
Not sure if I've posted this to the right place.
Anyway my problem is that when I sync my Dropbox to show in my gallery, it shows every photo that I have from all the folders. I only want just two personal photo albums to show in my gallery.
All the other photos that show are tucked away in loads of different work folders. So is there any way to just show the albums I want?
Cheers
