Presence of an 'svg' folder in my photo albums

Hello,

Since a few weeks, I see in my 'photo gallery' the presenceof a folder (album) named '' svg '. It still contains between 150 and 350 svgfiles. All bear the same date of creation and the same path

If I delete this folder, it does not reappear, until I usethe navigation function again.

The creation of this folder 'svg' is related to the use ofthe navigation function in Locus, but sometimes I use the navigation withoutthe svg folder being created.

Could this be related to the fact that I created a shortcuton the home screen of the folder 'locus / data / media / photo'?.

Thank you

Correction: The folder (album) named 'svg' contains files 'png' and not 'svg' as I wrote it by mistake.

You probably imported one or more themes in Locus. These theme folders contain many small images. Through a filebrowser check your themes folder under the folder Locus/mapsvector and make sure it contains a file with the name .nomedia You can probably find it in another folder and copy it. It is an empty file just with that name and it prevents (most) gallery apps from browsing your themes folder.

In some gallery apps you also can exclude specific folders like the themes folder.

Hello JMD,

based on the third screenshot, this won't be a result of the theme itself, but optimization (caching) that do Locus Map. Anyway, suggestion from Henk is perfectly correct. I just made a small improvement to next version of Locus Map so this ".nomedia" file will be added automatically.

Thank you for that clarification. It's also that's I suspected.
