Hello.
i have install program from the SD memory and some of the pictures displayed
in the album.
is there any were to hide the pictures or remove them without getting error on the software.
Thanks in advance
Search the Market for hide photos, I'm sure there are a few options
you can create an empty text file (using notepad), call it ".nomedia" and remove the ".txt" extension.
Place this file where you want pictures/audio to be ignored...
works for me.
I tried to upload a sample file, but for some reason, I can't, but it is pretty straight forward.
Thanks For the Help. but when i copy the txt-nomedia nothing is happening- i can still see the files
Or, rename the folder the pics are in to .(name here)
Android ignores folders that have a (.) as the beginning character
wow it works but the program wont open :/
thanks anyway. i learned something new

Oh well that seems to be a problem. I suggest you email the developer and ask him to put it so that the pics don't show in the gallery. It has a simple fix on his part
Yes, Maybe i will do it.
Thank you For you Help
maybe some how i will learn how ti use the commands in Linux

Reboot your Hero.
Problem
The problem is that after a few days the files in the directory containing the .noname file are gone. The directory is than empty exept for the .noname file, that still exists.
I've 800/900 songs on my phone each has an attached "album art" image (due to the way I had to format them for my Sansa Fuse, each song in a folder with album art) any to get to the point of this thread, the gallery app shows everything, caches the lot, I don't want to see millions of pictures of the same thing, I just want to be albe to ignore these folders & just show my camera/wallpapers/whatever else I choose, not every image on my phone
Please tell me there is a way to do it, or point in the direction of an app that will perform the way I want it
Surely this has been raised before, but I can't find it mentioned
put a . (dot) at the start of the folder name and it tells the lynix based android system that it is a hidden folder and then it will not show in the gallery.
Cheers Lenny, but as I mentioned above, that would be 800/900 folders I'd have to edit, I'd prefer to select the folders I want to view and would the dot prevent my music apps from seeing the folders too?
I could go back and re format all my music just to have one album art image in, but I'd rather not & the extra folders would still show up
Apologies for the bad grammar & spelling the in the previous post the edit function here seems to be very aggressive
if your running windows there is a way to rename folders on mass, can't remember how though its been years since I did it.

This worked, as a test of the theory. I'd a folder named MP3 on my card containing them all, I moved that into the .mixzing folder (couldn't rename MP3 Folder to .MP3 windows won't let you), but the only problem with that is now there appears to be no music on my card, Gallery works perfect as predicted
The .mixzing folder is not selectable by MixZing.....

ah never thought that far ahead. you can still play the files using something like astro though (as a not so perfect workaround for the time being).
Try adding a file in the directory you want ignored with the filename '.nomedia' The gallery will ignores these folders. (Works for music and videos too)

No, no I won't, 800/900 .nomedia files, which, no doubt, will hide the the mp3 file too
Try this so that your music files are not deleted:
1. Backup your folder that contains all the music and album art onto your pc.
2. in the PARENT directory of the 800/900 folders put a file in there called ".noimage" (without the quotes).
3. now your album art shouldn't show up in pictures, but your mp3's will come up in the player.
4. If it does delete the music/album art after a restart, then keep the .noimage file in the parent folder and then put your files back from the PC.
5. if you don't have the 800/900 files in a seperate parent folder then do so.
6. let me know how you get on. but please make sure you have backed up your media.
Put a new txt file into the folder, remaned it with Astro File manager, Windows won't let you do that, images still in Gallery, still no luck Bad4ss, thanks for trying
It didn't delete the music by the way
*ignore*
I will try something else.

Please explain to me where it does delete the files when you place .nomedia?:
Code:
// ignore directories that contain a ".nomedia" file
if (pathRemaining >= 8 /* strlen(".nomedia") */ ) {
strcpy(fileSpot, ".nomedia");
if (access(path, F_OK) == 0) {
LOGD("found .nomedia, skipping directory\n");
return OK;
}
// restore path
fileSpot[0] = 0;
}
Please do so sir...
I've never really taken a look at the android source code but are you even sure that's the _ONLY_ code related to .nomedia in the entire project?
There is something that deletes those files and it does seem related to .nomedia according to all those reports.

I don't want you to have the same issue than me ( 1.2 Gb of beautiful holidays pictures that were lost with a .nomedia file in the same directory.
I tried to mount the SDCard on a mac and a PC and both of them showed an empty directory!

When a ".nomedia" file is added to a directory that has already been
scanned by the media scanner, any jpg and gif files in that directory and
all sub directories will be deleted.

I too have noticed undesirable behaviour when using the .nomedia file. Indeed, as
metago.inc states, when images or movieclips are added after the .nomedia file, these
files do not get deleted.

The code you were looking for in your first post was this
The above is pretty standard. So how does this delete files off the SD card? When a row is deleted from the table there is a little piece of code that's run called a trigger. The trigger is defined earlier in this file
Click to expand...

Code:
db.execSQL("CREATE TRIGGER IF NOT EXISTS images_cleanup DELETE ON images " +
"BEGIN " +
"DELETE FROM thumbnails WHERE image_id = old._id;" +
"SELECT _DELETE_FILE(old._data);" +
"END");
i used a program named "Mp3tag" and included the albumart into the files. It will take some time but i found it the best soloution.

On my other Android devices I can simply put a . in front of folders that I don't want the gallery to display (such as avatar pics and shortcut icons and what not) and it wouldn't. Then I could use eStrongs file manager or similar to browse to them when I needed them. I popped a 2GB MicroSD card I had laying around that already had some files on it from another Android device and ALL of the folders with images are showing up in the gallery... even those with a . in front of them.
Is there any way on an Archos 101 to set the Gallery to NOT display items inside of a '.' folder? Seems this is default with other Android devices so I'm hoping it's at least an option on these.
Ideas?

Doesn't appear to work. I searched before posting this and found a few things about .nomedia and thought maybe you had to rename the actual folders w/the images within to .nomedia to hide them? Seems like this would be a PITA way to go about it.
Am I doing something wrong? Any other ideas?

It should work just fine. Did you name the file specifically .nomedia? No ext name. Did you reboot to see if that helps? Did you put the file in the folder of the items you don't want showing?
Here is some more specific instructions (I didn't write them):
1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)
4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.

Alright, w/more information I tried it again. I created a file just using a file browser on the device. This time around I created a file in Notepad on my PC called .nomedia and made sure the filetype was set to 'all files' before saving and that there was no extension (deleted the .txt) and then copied that file to my Archos 101. I first tried in the folder on the SD card that contained all the folders in question. I rebooted and it didn't seem to help. I then copied the file into each folder and rebooted. Still no dice. Whenever I open Gallery all the folders and images are still there. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear a cache or something or delete any tumbnails or ?? I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I keep searching and am coming up with nothing. This was SO easier on my other Android devices as I just put a period in front of the name of the folders I didn't want to display and it was done. Simple as that. This is a royal PITA and I feel I'm not making any progress.

Do either of these allow you to simply hide w/o signing in or encryption? I found two other programs & both required this which I don't want to deal with. Just seems odd that others are saying this is working for them & I'm not having any luck. I don't mind installing an app as long as it works but I'm not sure why my Archos 101 would be different than the rest.

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks!
So I've went into the /data/data/com.snapchat.android/ folder, and it is only about 200KB, so the image/video files can't be stored there.
I also noticed if you have a new message, and you close and open the app, it will have to redownload it. So it seems that snapchat is storing the images in the RAM.
So I dumped the ram of my snapchat PID, using this method. I had to download a compiled gdb binary.
I then used photoRec to scan all the *.dump files [I concatenated them all first, the file was about 100MB]. For filesystem I said "Other."
All I got was one txt file. It seemed to be xml, and contained a lot of usernames of my friends, but that's all.
If anyone has any input on the subject, here is the thread for it!

Snapchat save picture under /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps. You then have to copy and paste the file out of the folder, and rename the file extension from .jpgnomedia to .jpg
I can not find where the videos are stored. That's how I found this thread.
Like the previous poster said images are stored in /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps. They are deleted when they are viewed though so you must copy them to your sdcard or wherever and change the file extension before viewing them. Videos are stored in /data/media/0/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/tcs_pahn

I have not had time to check this location, however I have sort of discovered a workaround. [HTC Rezound CM10.1]
Ideally you should have a wifi toggle in the statusbar.
Open snapchat and then click on your snaps, after it loads the images [It will say "Loading image..", then "Tap to view"], turn off WiFi. Then you can view the snapchats [pic or video], and before enabling wifi, wipe Snapchat's data.
This way you can screenshot while offline and they will not know.
Alternatively you can use TitaniumBackup. Backup app while logged in, after viewing snapchat offline, restore data from backup so you do not constantly have to login.

If you can't find the video folder, it's because it deletes it and the videos when they are not loaded. They are stored under /data/media/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_video_snaps/ in mp4 format with a .nomedia file extension. As soon as you navigate away from the app, they are deleted, so I set up a tasker gesture to allow me to copy them while they are loaded.
As people said before, the images are stored in /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps/ with the jpg.nomedia extension. If that folder doesn't exist, try making sure you've received and loaded a snapchat first. The images seem to stay until they're viewed.

That location you name for videos doesn't exist on my phone.
- I have /data/media/ "0" and "obb" are the only 2 folders within there
- I have also read that the videos are stored in /Storage (SD CARD)/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/... but there isn't anything further from here, my 'cache' folder is empty, there's never been a "received_video_snaps" folder, let alone any content within here.
- I am able to get the photos from /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps/ but never been able to intercept videos
Note: this is all done BEFORE "viewing" the material and allowing it to "load" and show "tap to view" from within SC

I'm running TouchWiz. I wonder if you are on a 4.2.2 ROM or something, cause I've experienced the sdcard being moved around before...
Does your "0" folder have any subdirectories? such as Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/
In any case, videos are special: You need to actually click "load" (but don't hold, or else you'll actually view it before saving) if it doesn't do that automatically. Unless I misinterpreted, you didn't do that step. I think they might load automatically on Wi-Fi or something, though. For a general rule: As soon as it says "Load", the video is no longer (or never was) on your device. Furthermore, the sneaky little application deletes the folder at the same time, which is why you're never seeing "received_video_snaps" within the cache folder you found (assuming that one actually stores the videos in your version) because in my experience, almost everytime you navigate away from Snapchat, it unloads the video.
If you want to test for whether a file exists in a particular directory using Tasker, mess around with different directories in a File Modified profile (and have the associated task flash something). It'll flash as soon as something is added to that folder (including another folder, it seems).
Otherwise, check out my thread for this here.
I'm not familiar with Tasker. is it possible to have it automagically copy and rename the files that show up in the picture cache folder upon receiving a snap?
-edit-
From reddit:
I've got one method working on doing this, albeit I dislike it because this is questionable practice as is.
you''ll need Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin (tasker's run shell didn't like playing nice most of the time, but the secure setting run command does).
so i have tasker wait for snapchat to be opened, then the opening tasks are to wait 7 seconds (gives you time to load any pictures, honestly, i tried doing this with a file closed but tasker doesn't seem to like using wildcards in that command. if you really want, you can make this an exit command and open snapchat then back out before viewing)
then run shell as root cp -r /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps/ /storage/emulated/0/snaps/ (you'll need to change the second directory, mine is for a gnex on 4.2.2 so that's why it's emulated/0)
next, you'll need to make a script in atext editor, and for sake of sanity, push it to /system/bin with chmod 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
the script then reads as CODE
!/system/bin/sh #there should be a hashtag in front of this but reddit's formatting is being wonky
cd /storage/emulated/0/snaps/ #wherever you copied them to
for file in *.nomedia
do
mv "$file" "${file/.nomedia}"
done
exit
then in tasker, as an exit action, run a secure settings run command with the command of whatever your script name is (include location if you do no push to bin).
it should work
You can play with the triggers and such, but i was having no luck including the scripted portion with the copy actions, it never seemed to run the script (secure settings has options to notify that it's running/completed).
Again, this is mean to be instructional on how to automate this with tasker, since I wanted to solve a puzzle. Not for anyone to be a creepy ass person saving snapchats that you shouldn't.

Deleted images are deleted. That's the point of Snapchat. As for the file you moved (I'd recommend you copy it instead, cause Snapchat'll show a blank screen when you view it if you moved the file), make sure it ends in .jpg (for images) or .mp4 (for videos).

Actually there is a program called PhotoRec that scans a disk for files using the headers. So as long as the file is unfragmented and not been written over, you can retrieve it with the software. Of course you'll have to either plug in your phone to your PC with usb mass storage mode [if your phone supports it], or else put it in a card reader.

Well actually it's not run from the phone [as I mentioned in my previous post], you must plug your card into your PC with usb mode in order for it to work.
I have used PhotoRec in the past and it has worked pretty well. The only thing, and it's not PhotoRec's fault, your files will have a random number. There's no way to know what the old filename/path used to be, so you have to figure that part out on your own.
In short, always backup your sdcard unless you don't mind losing everything, and depending on the damage, might be able to recover the files, but only the ones not fragmented and they will be randomly named.
I developed an easy way to sync the received pictures and videos with your Dropbox account.

at max i remember there was a file with something like storage/sdcard0/. i think that must have been the some sdard shortcut or something but i was already inside the sdard! and i didnt even create it! it automatically came up!

First you need to calm down, and give some more details of what happened and exactly what did you do for it to happen, what software do you use (e.g Root Explorer) etc..
/storage/sdcard0 is the mount point for internal strorage on the root file system, it is always there.
Are there any files inside /storage/sdcard0?

What have you deleted, /storage/sdcard0?
Is it still there? If not create
All files are probably gone if you done so, but there are file recovery apps you can try, search Google Play
