I have >350 albums automatically generated. Nearly all of albums comes from a folder managed by Obsidian. I’m having trouble to understand why the system create an album for every folder on my device.
If I only need photos and screenshots album, How do I remove access of album creation for a specific folder?
One reason I’m asking is because I’m having trouble locating the photo album i want to backup with immich, it is really hard to locate an album in randomly ordered list of hundreds of albums
thanks a lot in advance
This is Android’s media scanner in action.
Fortunately, you can add a .nomedia file at the root of your Obsidian files to prevent them from showing up in your galleries.
thanks a lot!
Of course! Glad it helped!
thanks a lot
I have added a blank file named
.nomediain the root folder and reboot my deviceHowever those albums still exists
What else should I do to fix it?
Sometimes it can take the media scanner running again before they disappear. Give it a few minutes or so.
works! thanks a lot!
Android does not have anything to do with this. It is between your camera and gallery apps.
It does - this is how Android’s media scanner works.
I have tried grapheneos default / aves libre / google photos, all of them have the same albums created. I think this is a system wise problem
