Improvement: Gallery App, show empty directories

[DetlevCM]

Here is another request for the dev team - that creates some frustration....

The Gallery App: it works well when deciding which directories/albums to show.

I don't want to see the mess that is WhatsApp images, but I want easy access to the photos I take. (However I don't use my phone for long term storage.)

So obviously I use the page/tab in which I get to show selevt directories. 

Now here is the issue: I take photos, I go home and move the photos off my phone onto my storage infrastructure. Now the directory is empty.

If I forget an open the Gallery app, it now forgets that it is supposed to show the directory as it os empty... - If I were to take a photo before re-opening the application it never notices that the directory was empty...

It would be good if there were an option to set a directory as "show always, even when empty" for those who do not use their phone as a longterm storage solution, but still want to use the Gallery application for quick and easy access at times.

Hello, your are with French comunity Samsung,
If you write in French language for all users.
So you have to ask UK Samsung comunity.

Well, I don't get to control where this gets added as far as I can tell... - I just currently live in France and bought my phone in France...

L'anglais est la langue commun pour les échanges sur la technologie globalement et mes commentaires sont destinés à une audience globale, pas seulement à celui de la France.

Add to that, I have been discussing technology in English pretty much forever as it is the best language for IT topics. (Given that the core of technology topics is simply English and any localization is just a layer on top.)

Si vous souhaitez une participation de tout le monde, rédige vos commentaires en Français, ce n'est pas une rédaction d'une publication dans un journal à comité de lecture internationale. Soyez logique. Ici c'est un forum communautaire d'entraide entre les clients Samsung en France.

Je n'ai pas choisi le forum français, c'est soit automatique, soit cachée et je ne sais pas ou...

Et voulez vous dire sérieusement que les 60 millions de personnes en France sont plus importantes que le pourcentage de la population globale de 8 milliards qui parle anglais?

Most definitely not. Samsung is a South-Korean company with possibly global developers.
The sensible language to use to communicate with these people is English, NOT French.
And if the system dumps me in the French section because I currently reside in France and bought my phone here, well, that wasn't my choice...

So where can I find the gloabl international forum not tied to any single country?

Hello everyone.

I hope you are well.

@DetlevCM, thank you for your interest in the Samsung brand.

I fully agree with you when you say that English is the common language for exchanges on technology.

On the other hand, your suggestion is posted on the public part of the Samsung France Community, so it is initially intended for all users to read. It must therefore be posted in French, which is the official national language.

Also, you should know that we have no technicians here on the Community. When a suggestion is made, it must first be handled by a moderator, then passed on to the development team. So English isn't necessary for you.

As far as your suggestion is concerned, I don't think it will be taken up.

In principle, the gallery is designed to display photos stored on the phone. As such, it can't display a folder that contains no photos at all. That would be perfectly illogical.

If you wish to continue the discussion, please do so in French. Otherwise, I'll have to close this thread.

Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day.
