bigeeezee Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hey guys, need a clue...I have some pictures (yes, some are porn, but not all) that I dont really want to show up in "all pictures" in the finder. Every time I open a picture off the hard drive, it shows up there. any way to disable this?

SticMAC™ Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 There is a way!! (not that I have porn pictures) If there is anything you would like to hide.... Find yourself an extra HDD or partition, make it FAT32, if you have a HDD... MBR, FAT32 it, unless you configure Spotlight to check the drive it should ignore it! I have a 500GB drive with all my old WinBlows software and backups on it, it's fat32 and does not get included in the Spotlight searches! Hope this points you in the right direction!?

hecker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Or you could just add the target folder/s to the the spotlight "ignore" list. You meant the "all images" folder, right?

gizmoarena Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 if you want to get rid of the thing, just drag the "All Pictures" to anywhere on the desktop. *POOF* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123985-hide-pictures-in-all-pictures/#findComment-877085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeeezee Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 HAHAHAHA! that did the trick! Macs are so simple! just dragged to the desktop! and anyways, if you put the folder in system, the spotlight ignores it. I knew that. Thanks guys!
