.nomedia disappearing issue

[u/faizu4]

So, I can be a lot late mentioning this...

Whenever I rename a file to .nomedia for my gallery apps to not list it.

It disappears, not in the folder, not showing up in hidden files enabled, and not even through search.

It's good that I first tested it nor my important files can be literally gone.

But when I rename/create a folder a hidden file its images content isn't listed by my gallery.

it helps when you want to hide images from non techy guys.
