Default Hiding photos

Lets say I take a photo using my x10 camera. Android will automatically post this photo to timescape and mediascape.

However for this particular photo, I dont want it visible in this not in the camera roll.

is there anyway the picture can be hidden from these and put in a folder which needs a password to access it?

Have you tried using a file manager to renaming the file extension and move the file?

I previously tried using BT to send files to my X10, anytime i moved the media file to another file, mediascape refused to play it. Maybe that'll work for you?

I still want to be able to view the photos, i just dont want them appearing in mediascape or the camera roll.

Also, have them in a locked directory for extra protection

Just use file manager like ASTRO to create a folder starting with dot ".".

for example ".pictures"

put your files in it and mediascape won't display the folder content

in timescape, if you press and hold the picture, you will be able to drag it to the bottom where a bin icon appears. Very similar to when you remove a shortcut from home. It then tells you that the data is still available on the phone.

Not sure about media scape though
