So, I was storing some photos on my SD card in a folder that began with a period (example: .private) to prevent Froyo from browsing that folder and keeping its contents somewhat private. Worked great. Now I just noticed with GB if you navigate to the said folder and view any of its contents, GB will now include all of the "private" photos in your gallery under the "All Photos" folder. Just a heads up...

I haven't seen that on GB. But, I didn't like the new GB version of the gallery, so I don't use the stock one.
I do notice that, if I download a pic, and it goes into the DOWNLOAD folder. It shows in the gallery apps, even after I move it to a folder with a period for the name. But, the gallery shows it as still being in the DOWNLOAD folder. Like it cached the info.
I run the Free SDRescan app and they go away.
