I believe you have wildly misunderstood the post. You're talking about completely different stuff.

    If I hide a file with "." my media gallery does not index it nor does my music player so no, I'm not. I've done it since my first android and never had anything index a hidden folder.

    But this post isn't about hiding specific files, its about the .nomedia file that hides all of the photos/videos in the folder

    Maybe, but hiding the folder does the same thing, as was my point. Maybe it didn't get across but it doesn't change it.

    Again. You are talking about something different.

    What if it's a folder that cannot be renamed because an app needs the original name?

    Your tip is useless in such cases.

    And again. Is completely different.

    Are you trolling? I'm beginning to suspect you must be.
