Gallery-app 2.9.1.1312 partially fixes this. It doesn't index new files under a .nomedia marker, but if the .nomedia marker is added after indexing, gallery-app continues to show those files. So, at the moment it is necessary to remove the gallery index database in order to make it stop showing .nomedia-excluded images.

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?
