I have downloaded a number of image files to my Nexus 7 and have divided these among folders, usually by date or by name of the subject.

When I view these in the default Gallery app or in one I downloaded called QuickPic, it shows a number of image folders (or albums) twice. I'm not sure why it's doing this or why it does it for some albums but not others.

I believe that the N7 "emulates" the content, so when I do a search for an image file, it shows up in two places (though I only placed it in one):

  • storage/emulated/legacy/Pictures/ . . . my folder and files (this is where i'm trying to create folders and copy files to) and
  • storage/emulated/0/Pictures/ . . . my folder and files

And though this seems to be true for all my image folders (that they are being 'emulated') still some show up twice in Gallery and some don't.

Anyone know why some of the image folders/albums are showing up twice, and any idea how I can stop this from happening?


Regards, David.
