Media scanner should treat images from Folder.jpg files (and similar)
differently because these are known to be cover art and, therefore,
should not appear as pictures in the photo roll and gallery.

Title:
  Provide a way to hide images from a particular location

Bug description:
  I've put about 30GB of music in my SD card. Some of the music files
  don't have embedded cover art and their folders contain those cover
  art images.

  When I then opened the Gallery app, I noticed I now have thousands of
  "pictures" imported from the cover art images showing up in my Events
  and Pictures tabs, cluttering the real pictures I've taken with the
  camera.

  Is there a way to tell either mediascanner or the Gallery app to
  ignore a path and not import/show the images there? E.g. similar to
  Android, where you can put a .nomedia file in a folder and its images
  won't show up in the picture viewer.
