.nomedia equivalent for Gallery?

[johnnycash]

Hey guys,

I'm getting pissed off with my Gallery as it is showing every damn image it finds on my sdcard including people's Twitter avatars and weather pics from the weather widget I use.

I know for audio, you can place a file entitled ".nomedia" inside folders to prevent the audio files in those folders from showing up in the Music player application.....does anybody know if there's an equivalent for images? I tried using a .nomedia file to see if it worked for images as well, but no joy.

i know placing a .(dot) in front of a folders name will make it hidden. but i'm not sure if those same pics would be hidden from the app that needs them. you could simply try it and see. my g1 is being used by a family member,so i can't personally test it.

Yes it is! Also I should mention that it is recursive (affects all sub folders although the do not contain .nomedia file). In windows you can use this link to create the file.
