Title:
  BQ E4.5 (OTA-10): gallery-app tries to index thousands of files on the
  SD card, but should not

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Committed
Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:

  The app gallery did not started anymore in my BQ E4.5, it was just
  sitting there and loading .... for hours without coming to an end. I investigated
  it with strace and lsof and saw the app was searching through all the
  100.000 files (OSM tiles) on my SD card. While the SD card managment app
  supports placing a file there with the name '.nomedia' so the SD Card
  app ignores all files and dirs below:

  $ ls -la /media/phablet/4BDC-71D9/Maps
  total 840900
  drwxr-xr-x  3 phablet phablet      4096 Apr  7 09:25 .
  drwxr-xr-x  8 phablet phablet      4096 Jan  1  1970 ..
  -rw-r--r--  1 phablet phablet         0 Apr  4 14:58 .nomedia
  drwxr-xr-x 19 phablet phablet      4096 Apr  4 14:08 osm

  $ find /media/phablet/4BDC-71D9/Maps/osm | wc -l
  129236

  it seems that the gallery-app does not honor this file '.nomedia'.

  Any idea for a workaround in the gallery-app?
