Hi, I'm having a problem with the Gallery app. I'm using SD card that was previously placed in android phone and where I had some pictures taken by this phone. All pictures were correctly displayed in Gallery when I started the app however I didn't see any picture taken by Jolla camera. Therefore I tried to remove whole picture directory (DCIM/Camera) from SD card but from this point I can't open the Gallery app (crashes everytime I try to open it). I tried to create the directory structure how it was before on the SD card, also tried to copy/delete Camera folder like somebody suggested in different thread but nothing worked. I guess that Reset device could work but do you have any idea how to fix this without reset? Thanks

have you tried with a reset of the tracker services and its DB? folder hierarchy on your sd-card should not matter in any way.

Thanks for your answer. No, I haven't tried that. How can I reset it?

tracker-control -es

should do the trick, if not you might need to stop the service and delete all DBs by hand.

See https://together.jolla.com/question/4337/refresh-tracker/ for a general attempt.

@Upp15 hopefully we do not need an app for it but if you want put it in a shell-script (remember this is no iOS... you can fart your own, no need to have an app for that)
