Gallery Ignoring .nomedia files

[JuanRM]

I have a few folders that have images that I don't want to see the gallery app so I have a .nomedia file to stop them from popping up.

The beta seems to have broken that as it ignores the file and shows the pictures anyways. 

Anyone else having this issue?

Hello @JuanRM ,

You can hide albums directly from the gallery app. Navigate to albums sections of gallery and press menu on Top right (3 dots)  there should be an option to hide/unhide albums.

That's not the same thing. A .nomedia file should prevent the phone from scanning that folder and have it not show up in gallery apps or the media selector in other apps.

.nomedia files are handled at the app level, not system level, sometimes the ignoring of .nomedia files is an intentional feature, not a bug.
Just to be safe, move your prawns to a .hidden folder also 🙃
