The Gallery app lets you sort and view photos by Time, Location, Album, and Tags.
Time sorts photos chronologically; Location groups them by GPS tracking.
Album seems to group them by their folder's name.
But Tags doesn't seem to have any use. Every photo is listed as "untagged." The Xoom's Gallery and Camera app don't offer any way to to add a Tag to a photo.
And when I add photos taken and tagged from within my Droid X's Gallery app, the Xoom's Gallery app doesn't seem to recognize their tags.
Has anybody gotten the Gallery's Tags option to work?
Could this be a bug in Honeycomb? An unsupported portion of Honeycomb in the Xoom? Any ideas?
Honestly the gallery sucks... is it just me or are pictures just not sharp in the stock gallery? Quick pic seems to be the only one to show sharp images

I have same problem with Transformer.
I think this is honeycomb bug, but I cant find any other gallery that handle tags properly. Even picassa uploaded photos lost their tags, but doesnt work photos from sd card tagged in win 7.
But i have some tags, i dont have idea why some photos has tags others lost them

I have more questions still!!
These are about the Album app. I have some albums reduced down especially for my phone, I notice the N1 sync's with Picasa though, so some are duplicated. Does it properly sync, as in download smaller versions of each picture from each album? I'm opening the Picasa ones and they seem slower to snap into sharpness than the ones I put on the SD card?
Also, is there a way to stop certain folders showing in the Albums? I have all sorts of odd images that the app finds in other app folders which kind of spoils the effect of the album.
Ok, in mediascape under the photo section "My photos" there is a "more" tab in the top right corner. In this section I have gone in and organized all my photos into albums. However there is also all of my music album cover art in this section as well. Is there any way to omit the album art? If I wanted to look at that id be in the "music" section of mediascape......right??
"id be in the music section"...well yes and no.
the images are for music so I can see your theory but at the end of the day the images are still that so willl be read as that by the app.
as for omitting them, sorry dude. . I gave up on mediascape when I got the phone!
Ok hopefully someone takes another look here as I have yet another question. Maybe not mediascape related though. Can you upload photos that you take with the phones camera to picasa web albums? I can see my albums in mediascape but so far cant seem to find any way to upload. Is this possible or is this yet another lame limitation of SE app being able to integrate with goggles? The latter would not surprise me seeing as even googles own services aren't seamless. So much potential, just not quite there yet.

Its not necessary to have a cover.jpg or folder.jpg in the music folders. write the Coverarts in the ID3 Tags and delete the jpgs, then they will be gone.
??? As for Picassa, just tap on photo, tap on mail icon, Picassa is one of the options.
As for music album covers, I use media Go to get the covers. Don't have folder for that on photo tab.

If you're using Google Apps, you can use Picasa Tool from the market to upload pics.
For album art, you can put the cover in the mp3 tag using pc or Album Art Grabber (had been discussed in other thread).
I got the majority of the albumart through mediascapes "get album art".
Ill try some of your suggestions.hopefully I can figure out what you mean. Thanks

So, for whatever reason whenever I go into my gallery it just seems as though my phone refuses to load GIF images or just refuse to load the pictures Into their full resolution. Any fix for this?

I use quickpic for gallery and photos for cloud backup. Can't speak on gif functionality, but its worth a shot imo.
I was just about to make a thread of a similar problem I'm having... My gallery sometimes completely fails to load any album thumbnails and names, but you can enter the albums (everything is still lacking thumbnails). It's very aggravating and it causes Documents to crash often.
I've seen other threads on this but no fix for it yet. When I open my camera, and then click on the gallery preview it shows me every single picture on my device, not just pictures I've taken. I don't really want to show people game screenshots or porn I downloaded when I'm trying to show them a picture of my dog. Is there any fix for this other than adding .nomedia to every folder, which also disables me sharing pictures in other apps?

Sorry about that but you can try any AppLocker for your Gallery app.
Try search: AppLocker on Google Play Store.

You can download every pic of porn in the secure folder, if you like take candids for example, the photos you take in secure folder go directly to your secure gallery, the pictures you downloaded go directly to your secure gallery etc... I hope you understand me because i'm spanish speaker.
Since moving to S8+ from other android phones, this issues was irritating me. While in camera app, if I go to gallery, I want to see only photos taken by camera and not all the media from whatsapp, facebook etc. The suggested solution of adding .nomedia in those folders did not appeal since that would impact other applications browsing those folders too. So this is what i have done and it works well enough for me.
Samsung gallery app has setting to ignore albums, so I went to that setting and checked all the albums except camera. This was manual and I had to check a lot of albums. After that was done, gallery shows only camera roll either in camera app or outside camera app.
I installed another gallery app (quickpic from xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425) to browse different albums including my photos.
That seems like a good solution for non rooted phones until samsung improves their gallery app
