Folder Picker
The Folder-Picker is used to select or pick a folder/file-directory.
You can reach the Folder-Picker via
- the "folder symbol"
or menu "Folder Filter" in the Gallery-View
- the menu "Copy" or "Move" in the Gallery-View in multiselection mode
- the "folder picker" and the "date picker" in the Filter-View
In the top area is the "path bar" : a list of button where each button represent a folder in the current path.
Below you find a list of folders and sub-folders.
In the button area you have buttons OK, Cancel and a preview image
- Foldernames surrounded by [...] are hidden folders (i.e. contain a ".nomedia" file or folder name starts with ".").
- you can move or copy images here but images in hidden folders will not be visible in the gallery.
- when you "scan media" on a "*[...]" folder this folder will be unhidden.
- The numers behind the folder-names indicate how many sub-folders/photos belong to the folder. Example "AgiosNicolaus (2):(33+15)" has the following meaning:
- "(2)" The folder "AgiosNicolaus" has 2 subfolders with images
- ":(33+15)" The folder "AgiosNicolaus" contains 33 photos and subfolders of it contain +15 photos.
- If you tap on a (sub)folder in the list or a button in the path bar
- the current folder path is updated
- the folder picker navigates to that path
- and a photo belonging to the folder is displayed in the lower right corner.
- If you long tap on a (sub)folder in the list or a button in the path bar you get a context menu for the folder
- Create Folder to create a folder when copying/moving files.
- "Show Photo(s)" opens the Image-View filtered by selected folder (or date)
- "Show in new Gallery" opens a new Gallery-View filtered by selected folder (or date)
- Details (since 0.5.0): show infos about the selected folders: Number of photo-files/ Megabytes.
-
Repair duplicates : The gallery may show identical images at different folders. This command will try to fix this type of problem. (only visible when the folder is a sym-link-folder which should not be in the media db)
- Example: the media db may contain /storage/sdcard0/hello.jpg and /mnt/sd/hello.jpg which are physically the same jpg.
-
Hide Images: Make all images and video below this folder invisible: Remove files from media-db and add ".nomedia" file that prevents the media scanner from re-adding them.
- the hidden folder will be displayed as "*[...]"
- Hide is blocked while Media Scanner is active to avoid conflicts/inconsistent data.
- you can undo this via the Media Scanner menu in the gallery
- The "Ok" button takes the current folder-path and updates the caller:
- Gallery-View: to update which photos are visible.
- Filter-View: set the path value.
- The "Cancel" button or the back button closes the picker without affecting Gallery-View or Filter-View
- You can swipe the path bar to left/right to scroll to path-buttons on the right or left.
