How do I keep a video from showing up in the thumbnails?

When I select :
Media Player/Videos
I see thumbnails of all of the video content on my N900. There are some I do NOT want to show everyone I show the phone to.

If I change the listing from Video-Date to Video-Category, I lose the thumbnails, but the title is still in the listing.


Thanks

rename them .yourEvilName.vid

its all about the . in the beginning....

to make them visible agin you would have to change visibility settings in your file browser(dont know how) or use firefox to browse your data or use xterm to rename them if you want them visible.....

quick thought thou: why not in a seperate folder?

EDIT: the whole . thing obviously only works if . files are set to be not visible in the beginning...

mate the issue with this is that the file is not visible at all to the n900. is there a way to do it so can still see the files in the file manager and open them manually???????????????

flag those you dont want to be recognized as videos so, that they aren't.

tollesVideo.mp4 -> tollesVideo.fun

Now you will have to resort to a second mediaplayer i think... (like mplayer or something being indifferent of the .xxx)

EDIT: Lot of hassle.
You need to know where and what is recognized as video by the player to trick it.

EDIT2: one "?" suffices.

the file manager won't do it. It hides extensions and won't allow "." as first character. I'll see if I can find it via XTerm, but it doesn't look promising....

figured it out.

make a folder on the n900 with a . at the start for example .hidden.

the folder wont be visible to the n900's file manager of media player.

if you want to get into the folder, open the web browser and the type
file:///

to get into the hidden folder

file:///home/user/MyDocs/.hidden
