I don't know if this is related, but the gallery app on my BQ E4.5 also takes forever to load pictures. I have filed another bug about this here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gallery-app/+bug/1568286. Some additional information:
Gallery app database is 64 KB Storage divided as follows: Used by Ubuntu: 2.4 GB Videos: 131 MB Audio: 136 MB Pictures: 432 MB Other files: 1.1 GB Used by applications: 584 MB Total free space: 2.4 GB -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gallery-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568310 Title: BQ E4.5 (OTA-10): gallery-app tries to index thousands of files on the SD card, but should not Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The app gallery did not started anymore in my BQ E4.5, it was just sitting there and loading .... for hours without coming to an end. I investigated it with strace and lsof and saw the app was searching through all the 100.000 files (OSM tiles) on my SD card. While the SD card managment app supports placing a file there with the name '.nomedia' so the SD Card app ignores all files and dirs below: $ ls -la /media/phablet/4BDC-71D9/Maps total 840900 drwxr-xr-x 3 phablet phablet 4096 Apr 7 09:25 . drwxr-xr-x 8 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 1 1970 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 phablet phablet 0 Apr 4 14:58 .nomedia drwxr-xr-x 19 phablet phablet 4096 Apr 4 14:08 osm $ find /media/phablet/4BDC-71D9/Maps/osm | wc -l 129236 it seems that the gallery-app does not honor this file '.nomedia'. Any idea for a workaround in the gallery-app?
