What's the best file explorer program? I'm looking for one that can drag files, and also select multiple files by scrolling down (i.e. if one file is highlighted, you put the pen on the file, and move it down the list, highlighting files as you move over them). A link to the .CAB file would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Adam
I might be missing something really obvious here, but how are you supposed to create the .nomedia file so that the music player won't see files from system folders? I have a whole bunch of mp3's appearing in my music player because of Real Football 2010. If I try and create the file on Windows 7, it says "You must type a filename". Any help?

Open notepad, rename file ".nomedia" and change the file type from txt to "all files". Try again, report back.
rename it on the phone
Easier way is to create a folder directly inside the one that has the music files (did this on letsgolf it has tons of sounds) just tap create folder and name it .nomedia works for me.
Creating .nomedia folder in windows 7 solution
1. Goto command prompt : Run->cmd
2. Goto your flash drive e.g. F:
3. Goto you desire folder e.g. CD gameloft
4. type "copy con .nomedia" and press enter
5. press F6 and press enter.
This will create the .nomedia file in windows.
Old thread but here is a no Computer needed option:
Download ES File explorer (its free)
Install and open it
Navigate to the folder you want to exclude (remember it propagates down e.g. if you place it in the root of SD then the whole of SD is excluded including all the sub-folders)
Press Menu and select "new"
Select "File"
Call it .nomedia
Rescan your memory Cards
Sorted no PC required
thanks all above

The easiest way. Download and use from market the studio kuma .nomedia manager.

Does creating a .nomedia file in a folder also stops it from scanning lower folders?
Ex.
\Mystuff
\Mystuff\lotsofstuff
\Mystuff\lotsofstuff\pics
Will putting it in \Mystuff stop it from scanning the lower folders?

I have created a ".nomedia" file but the pictures in that folder still shows up in the gallery.. Anyone have similar experience?
Using SE Xperia Arc.
Restart ur phone so that media scanner runs once...
Gallery excluder is another app from the market you can use, even to restart the media scan afterwards to apply the changes.

You can open notepad via Windows->notepad and ctrl+S to save it (with blank content), in the "File name" field, you type ".nomedia" and in the "save as Type" field, you chose "All files (*.*))"
Good luck!:good:
No need to create file or using an application
You don't need to find a way to create that file. Connect your mobile to pc by USB and browse in your sdcard. Enable show hidden or system files from your operating systems file explorer. Find a .nomedia file and copy it to the new location you want. This is more practical. Also if you have a root explorer on your Android, you don't even need a pc.
AW: How to create the ".nomedia" file....
Another way doing this (imo the best):
1. Open terminal emulator and navigate to the folder
2. Type: touch .nomedia
3. Done

You need to enable hidden files in Windows Explorer.

I'm confused. Are you saying it didn't see media before and after the file was in the directory? Did you restart?
As the title ask's, does anyone know how to keep these from playing in the music app. I know I can not delete the sound files or the game will not play (already tried ), but jogging and at work is getting a little annoying when every other song on shuffle is a golf wave lol. Any help would be appreciated.
Put empty .nomedia file in the gameloft directory on sdcard, and reboot.
+1 to that.
Do I use root explorer and please be more descriptive..noob. Thanks
try the app MixZing... lets you specify the root folder where you store all your music you want to shuffle from... nice replacement for the stock...

Can't seem to let me create a .nomedia file, perhaps you meant to make a .nomedia folder?
Make a blank text file in Windows. Rename it .nomedia and copy it onto your n1
Does not work.. Any more suggestions?

Windows won't let you create a file with no name, only extension. It doesn't mean anything for Android, which is Linux and operates with such files. Create the file on the phone with the following command in Terminal Emulator:
echo "" > .nomedia
Move the file to the right place using Windows, if you want.

Check that you did it correctly, and reboot. There is no other way, and this one works - if it doesn't for you, you're most probably doing something wrong.
Will try the emulator method.. thanks
If you're doing it in Windows, open a command prompt to rename the file.
rename <filename> .nomedia
You might already have a .nomedia file in some of your directories already. Using Astro you can copy them to the Golf folder.
However if you don't and you have Windows, create a blank text file on your memory card in the Golf folder and call it nomedia.txt, then when you put it back in your phone use Astro to rename it to .nomedia
Both methods need an SD Card memount for the media software to scan, so either plug the USB in and select Mound then Unmount or reboot the phone.
Hi,
Is there a way to hide folder from the file explorer? I found it highly annoying that the sd card is packed with apps files and folders.
I tried the add a "." to the name of a folder, and it is indeed hidding it, but then existing shortcut to files inside that folder are no longer accessible since since the path has changed from ".\Folder\file.apk" to ".\.Folder\file.apk" and thus file cannot be found.
Is there a solution?
thanks!
As posted here .
make .nomedia.txt text file in relevant folder .
jje
I was told to make ".nomedia" file to hide unwanted music files. Problem is, that i placed it on my usb-memory root and now my photos etc. are hide. This was so noobish thing to do, i was too tired that i didn't think.
Problem is, that i don't see ".nomedia" file, so i could remove it. Can you guys give me a hint, how to solve this problem?
Edit:
I found the solution. I had to select "show hidden files" from es file explorer and that way i founded ".nomedia" file. I removed it and rebooted my Note and everything is back to normal.
Can you guys tell me how .nomedia file works? Do i put it in all those folders that i don't want my musicplayer to find or what?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yup
Also another solution would be to set up a folder with those unwanted media files and put .nomedia there, more organised IMHO
Unless they are games files of course then you have to put the .nomedia file in respective folders
