Gallery crashes; adding sub-folders to Gallery

Hi all,

I've got the latest updates to the KK Gallery. Now I've been filling that up a little bit (around 20 pix in addition to the default ones) and noticed that when trying to set the wallpaper makes the launcher crash. Its incidence is approx 1 in 3.

Now it doesn't effect the phone etc, and everything continues to work just fine. But I am of course a little irritated with this repeated crashing of the gallery folder, and of course wondering if this is something that I should be worrying about?

Second. I've been playing around a bit with the Gallery features, and enjoyed converting colour pictures to BW ones. However, now I have a lot of pictures in the Gallery which I will not be using, but ones that I also don't want t delete.

Is there some way to make a sub-folder in the Gallery so that I can move some of these pictures into that folder and unclutter my Gallery?

I tried checking OI File Manager but surprisingly it doesn't seem to have the option of letting me add folders.

Thanks!
 
Gallery isn't showing you the pictures in a folder, it's showing you all the pictures on your phone, as picked up by Media Scan. (There's no "/data/Gallery" folder.) You can put pics you don't want to see in an app in a folder with a file named .nomedia in the folder, and Media Scan will ignore the files in that folder. Or you can copy those pics to your computer, then delete them from the phone. (Or copy them to a cloud account.)
