Exclude entire folder (and subfolders)

[ToNIX-]

Just got this on f-droid, this app could easily replace other well known gallery apps!

I'd like to exclude a folder (ext sd/Music) and all it's subfolders. I have to manually select each album folder that shows up to exclude them, which is not possible due to the amount shown.

Thanks!

Would you like to add paths to exclude specific directories?
Add a .nomedia file into your root folder (Music). Done.

I'm pretty sure that if a .nomedia file is added to the Music folder, the music player won't list the songs (Vanilla Music).

I think that there has to be a way to select a path to exclude from LeafPic.

If you add a .nomedia file in the music directory the music player won't list your your songs if it fetch them from the media store

I use a music client that places album artwork into /sdcard/subsonic, and I believe this is causing leafpic to crash on startup since there are literally hundreds of separate directories here with images in them. If I remove this directory from my phone, leafpic starts up fine... There definitely needs to be a way to exclude this directory (and inherently its subdirectories) in leafpic without manually tapping 'exclude' on all of the subfolders and any new ones that crop up. The ".nomedia" suggestion does not work here since it breaks my music client's ability to index the music in this folder.

Are you able to provide me the log?

I can grab it later, and will file a new issue. In any case, when leafpic does load, my actual 'camera' folder is buried somewhere in hundreds of 'galleries' that leafpic displays for every single image/subdirectory combo. Don't think a log will tell you much there.

Where does leafpic keep a list of excluded directories? At the very least, I would like to manually insert the top-level directory (/sdcard/subsonic) so that leafpic stops trying to index all of these directories/images...

[dnldsht]

Excluded folders are stored with sqlite.
I'm going to add an option to add an option to exclude a specific path (if
you exclude a folder it exclude also sub folders).

BTW the option to exclude the parents of a folder like QuickPic will be
implemented as soon I fix SD card issues.
Stay tuned!

Thanks for the tip on where to look. I (successfully) manually edited the sqlite db to include the top level directory until you've had a chance to implement this feature :)

done in the last release.

@dnldsht Thanks, I have switched to LeafPic, it's that good now!

[tobycheese]

Where do I find this? How do I to exclude a path? All I can find is the ability to exclude one specific folder that has an image in it, but same as the op, I need to exclude the top of my music folder.

[alekksander]

@tobycheese heh, that's exactly why at some point i choose leafpic over other gallery aps — too many album covers mixed with my personal catalogs

long press album folder from main view, when it's selected click three dots on top, then exclude and there You can choose exact localization to be excluded. the list contains selectable list like:
/storage/emulated/0/documents/long_pressed_folder_name
/storage/emulated/0/documents
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated

[tobycheese]

@alekksander thanks, that worked!
