Description
What is the current behavior?
Currently Gallery displays pictures and videos even though the directory containing these media files has a .nomedia file in it. The "VLC" and the "Simple Galerry Pro" apps for instance are not displaying these media files when a .nomedia file is found.
What is the improved behavior?
Like with the "VLC" or the "Simple Galerry Pro" app for instance, when a .nomedia file is added to the directory containing media files (pictures or videos), the Gallery app shouldn't display them.
What does it bring?
It allow users to exclude some files from the Gallery app. I downloaded a lot of YouTube videos for instance which are flooding the Gallery app.
