| Summary | 0015923: Google 'Gallery Go' contains MM Album Art | ||||
| Description | The Google Gallery Go app is a lightweight photos app. On a Pixel 2 running Android 9, it includes all photos that MM5 has wirelessly synced to MMA. Similarly, Solid Explorer displays MM-synced album art in the Photos section. Examination of the folder structure in MMA shows that album art is stored as follows for all tracks: /Music/<ArtistName>/<AlbumName>/albumart (stored to same directory as the tracks) MM5 shows the following setting (which I presume is the default?): [x] Sync all Artwork to file folders _albumart_ I would have thought: 1) by default MM should sync to a hidden directory/filename (e.g. /.albumart) 2) that MM would create a directory for the artwork (that's what the wording implies). Or should the wording be changed to Sync Artwork to the following folder/path _/.albumart/albumart | ||||

Instead of complicating it with another subfolder I would suggest to adjust just the filename. Possible approaches re filename change (to test which one works): .albumart albumart.thm albumart.jpg.hide |

It seems that just using 'folder.jpg' is the solution: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/69168/how-do-i-exclude-album-art-from-the-gallery |

Tested with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photosgo Strange, but on my phone all "albumart.jpg" files were excluded automatically. The app displays images only when filename is different e.g. "covers.jpg", "DAFKADSJLF.jpg" etc. Also, hidden files are ignored too, so renaming "covers.jpg" to ".covers.jpg" helped too. |

As discussed offline, the 'albumart.jpg' is the default in MM4 and works to hide the files from gallery. For some reason MM5's default is just 'albumart' (without jpg extension) which causes the bug (showing the images in gallery) |
|
|
Fixed in 2195 + added also auto-correction ('albumart' -> 'albumart.jpg') for the already existing profiles. |
|
|
Verified 2195 Album arts are now hidden. |
