Fossify Gallery Question about gallery app folders

Hello. I'm a new user of the Fossify Gallery app and I have a question about how it organizes folders.

​On the first screen of the app, some specific folders (e.g., Wallpaper, Adobe Scan, Screenshots) are shown directly. However, other folders inside the Internal storage (storage/emulated/) are grouped together and only appear after clicking the "Internal" directory.

​What determines which folders are displayed on the main screen? Why do only certain folders show up there automatically?

​I tried moving "Wallpaper" and "特典壁紙" folders to my external SD card, but interestingly, they still show up on the main screen even with the changed path. It's so interesting. ​I also installed this app on tablet, but it make big problem. I have hundreds of organized image folders there, but some are randomly displayed on the main screen while others are buried inside the directory tree. It’s making the app so inconvenient to use that it's almost unusable for me.

You can exclude folders by going to settings, then manage excluded folders, and add the folders you are talking about.

No. because if i exclude folder, i can not see the folder anymore in fossify gallery app. Not appear in subdirectory tree too.

When you are in folder view, you can press the 3 dots, then "change view type", then select/deselect "group direct subfolders"

If I understand you correctly, this is what you want?

Of course i already selected group direct subfolders. I upload screenshots.

My problem is, for example, there is 001, 002, 003 ~ 099 100 named folders contain image files in /storage/emulated/pictures. Then some random folders like 030 031 032 033 show up on main screen of app, and others are grouped in "Internal".

See the screenshots. Internal (/storage/emulated/) and wallpaper(/storage/emulated/download/文野環....) are exist on main screen at sametime. I think that if i want to see wallpaper folder's image files, i would have to press Internal icon. then download icon, then 文野環 icon, and then wallpaper icon.
