When i open my album, it index every pic from my phone. How to exclude certain folder from being index inside album?
For example, exclude album art from music folder, exclude beatmap pictures from osudroid folder, etc...

It didnt works with subfolder

[Sam]

You will need to have the .nomedia file in each folder you wish to exclude this includes all sub folders.

To create a .nomedia file i recommend that you use an app in the phone to do this. If you search for ".nomedia" in Google Play you'll find some apps that creates this file for you in the folder(s) you select. You could also download a file manager like Astro File Manager and create it manually.

You may not be able to create this file using a computer as some operating systems (like Windows) can't create a file called only ".somthing".

Ive tried creating these files in various folders using a PC and an app from the Google Play however it seems that the Sony Album app ignores them.  Despite the file existing in the appropriate places, the images contained in these folders are still displayed in the Gallery App.
