slideshow in multimedia dock

Is there anyway to dictate which folder is displayed when you use the slideshow when in the dock? It seems to take any picture you have which is kind of dumb. I only want pics I take with the camera. I know there are other slideshow but I want it where in the dock you just press the button

thanks

I posted this in the tips and tricks thread, create a empty notepad file and name it .nomedia (no .txt extension) and place it in any directory you don't want pics to show up from. It also includes subfolders, so one file will work in the topmost folder. Then the slideshow app will only show pics from folders without that file in their folder. Android gallery is set up to show all pics on the storage card, and as far as I know this is the only way around it.

Thanks for the tip..I tried it and did not seem to work. The file name is .nomedia right

Yes, but make sure you are not saving it with a .txt extension.
