Hide downloaded album art from Photos #704

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Mobbler can download and save album art.
If the mp3 folder is known, it's saved there.
Otherwise it's stored in a cache folder under system\data.

The Nokia N8 has started showing images in the Photos application from folders 
other than the images folder, so the images that Mobbler saves are showing up 
too. An exception is the images in the system cache, they don't show up.

We can very easily stop those non-system images showing up in Photos by setting 
the "hidden" file attribute.

Should we?

I see the same behaviour on my 5800 since I began using mobbler. Even if this 
can create some confusion, it is really useful to set album/artist arts in 
media player application. If you plan to put *every* image (for local songs 
also) in a hidden folder, this could be a (trivial) problem for users like me, 
but I can see your point.
Since I don't own an N8 or any Symbian^3 phone, I don't know how different the 
Photos application is from the media gallery in S60v3/5. It isn't possible to 
create a special folder in the media gallery/Photos application, is it? This 
could also help the artist/album art management.

or mobbler could save the cover without ".jpg" it should also do the trick
