same with the music app. instead of letting me simply GOTO my "music" folder on the SD card it searches my entire SD CARD for mp3. why? I don't want to listed to my 1200 recorded phone calls (never got around to cleaning that folder out) or all my note files or all my gps directional files.
stupid way to do things in my book. but like I said the point is the apps and those are truly great so far.
and to be honest most of the OS aggravations do NOT need to be used very often. the stupid way it looks for wallpaper I only need to use once or once in a while so its a minor issue.
can't use the music app at all though. got to find a music app that will only "look" where I tell it to look for music.

Yea... the default behavior is kinda dumb.
hyc wrote a great post (
here) on taming the media scanner, and actually submitted a patch. One of the few of his patches that was not accepted.
The reason is was rejected is this is default Android behavior - and I agree, this is dumb. The solution?
Listed here. There's a section called "Hiding your files from the Media Scanner" - basically you put a '.nomedia' file where you don't want the mediascanner searching. It's a solution, albeit a silly one.
