I think it would be useful to exclude specific folders from the gallery view. Android allows this by putting an emtpy ".nomedia" file to the specific folders. Something of similar function may be useful.

I agree, when adding music to the phone (built in memory or the sd card) it pulls loads of thumbnails into Gallery, which then have to be deleted. The Gallery needs sub folders so we can choose what goes where and what is displayed

Linking a somewhat related request, to be able to view photos / videos of Gallery. And perhaps each folder could have have a setting 'Do not show in Gallery'? https://together.jolla.com/question/1948/feature-request-folderalbum-view-in-gallery/

putting a .nomedia (or backup.metadata) file in the folder should work.

also seems to be a duplicate question of https://together.jolla.com/question/5935/how-to-blacklist-directories-from-being-indexed-by-tracker/ (but I don't know how to mark it as such).

This thread can´t be a duplicate of https://together.jolla.com/question/5935/how-to-blacklist-directories-from-being-indexed-by-tracker/ because it is an older one. Be care that we have the second december in the life of jollaphone.
