Photo Gallery Showing "Drawable" Folders Content

I have a Dell Streak and just noticed yesterday that about 5 "Drawable" folders are appearinig in the Gallery. Each folder contains .png icon type files.

I am trying to determine if these are associated with an installed app but the .png file details doesnt provide a clue.

Are any of these folders showing up in your Gallery?

1. Drawable
2. Drawable-Hdpi
3. Drawable-Idpi
4. Drawable-mdpi
 
I think the drawable folders are created when App Shield is used for modifying an apps permissions. This app creates a PermRemover parent folder and several subfolders (including the 'drawable" subfolders) onto the sdcard.

Apparantly when you load an app or apk, App Shield strips this app into several subfolders including graphics and .png files; used for 'rebuilding' a modified apk with your selected permission removed.

Gallery is picking up these icons and folders when they are being populated. I will try adding a .nomedia file in each subfolder to see if it will auto-exclude or just delete the 'drawable' folder content. i dont think the modified app is dependent of these folders. Will see.
