Thanks again. xoxoxo

The .nomedia file has to be the first file in a folder in order to ignore media there. If files are already indexed, just rename such folders forth and back (opening the Gallery in the middle) and there you go.

You can use the Nomedia application for creating easily the .nomedia

Quickpic is a good app, hides full folders with password and it won't show unless you put the password. You can use your regular gallery app and have quick pic just hide the folders desired and they won't show on your regular gallery app

I think he just wants to hide them, not password protect them.

Put a . In the folder name

I.e.
.pix = hiden
Pic = shown

You can then see them in a filemanager app

This doesn't work when the folder name has to be preserved, you can't just add a dot to the name. Even if this did work, there are some applications that won't read files or folders marked as hidden, even if that is the predefined folder for their data.

So, there are two quite different solutions: one is adding a .nomedia to the folder and other renaming the folder or file itself with a dot in the front. Just choose what you need most.
