I have >350 albums automatically generated. Nearly all of albums comes from a folder managed by Obsidian. I’m having trouble to understand why the system create an album for every folder on my device.

If I only need photos and screenshots album, How do I remove access of album creation for a specific folder?

One reason I’m asking is because I’m having trouble locating the photo album i want to backup with immich, it is really hard to locate an album in randomly ordered list of hundreds of albums

thanks a lot in advance

    This is Android’s media scanner in action.

    Fortunately, you can add a .nomedia file at the root of your Obsidian files to prevent them from showing up in your galleries.

    Android does not have anything to do with this. It is between your camera and gallery apps.

      It does - this is how Android’s media scanner works.

      I have tried grapheneos default / aves libre / google photos, all of them have the same albums created. I think this is a system wise problem
