[Feature Request] Ability to choose only folders that should be included #430

Open Phoenix09 opened 6 years ago

Phoenix09 commented 6 years ago

I should be able to choose what folders I want as literally the only folder I want is Music on my SD card, I'm fairly sure this applies to most people.

315 would need to be fixed first though.

Yep, would love this. My music folder is on /sdcard/ so I am able to access it, but I have no idea why I should be blacklisting a ton of individual directories instead of whitelisting one.

Create a " .nomedia " file at the root of the directory you need blacklisted (all file and sub folder on it are also blacklisted )

gergesh commented 6 years ago

@tazzkiller we can use the app to blacklist directories already, this request is for a whitelist.

Phoenix09 commented 6 years ago

@tazzkiller that is a stupid answer. that affects all apps, so would hide photos from gallery.

For what it's worth I used a dirty hack to limit the scope of media files loaded to just those that include "Phonograph" in the file path, which works well enough for my purposes but I have no intention of trying to work it into something that can be merged. My fork is here: https://github.com/grepx/Phonograph

This would be a neat feature. Right now I have to blacklist folders from some other apps, Records folder and the Download folder. It would be a lot better if I could just whitelist the Music folder on my SD and be done with it.
