ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) ignore ".nomedia" files

[persiomenezes]

If you put a ".nomedia" file in a folder, to make not appear in the Galery, the folder is not visible, just until it get any now image. For exemple, try to put a ".nomedia" file in "Screenshots folder" and them take a new screenshot. The new one will be visible on galery and the all the screenshots you do after that also. So you have to delete the ".nomedia" file and creat a new one. But again, images will be invisble just till the new image come in. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Welcome to Android Central! That shouldn't be happening. What type of file is the .nomedia file you're creating? Is it a blank .txt file?

I use ES Explorer, I choose "Create New / file" and name it ".nomedia". I also tried to copy other ".nomedia" files already in the mobile.

Does this only happen with the stock Gallery app? What about the Google Photos app -- does that keep recognizing the .nomedia file even after adding new images to the directory?

Almost 1 year latter and I am still looking for a solution. This happen with any app that work like a gallery. ES Explorer and Google Photos also are affected. I think this a option of Asus.
