Prevent Album Covers from Appearing in the Gallery on Pixel 7

Using /e/OS

Hello fellows,

I’m one of those users who still listen to music using their own audio files (.mp3/.flac). However, all the cover.jpg files from my music folder are showing up in the gallery.

How can I configure my smartphone or the gallery app to completely ignore my music folder? On my SailfishOS phone, I used to achieve this by placing an empty .nomedia file in the folder. However, this doesn’t seem to work on my Pixel 7.

Any suggestions?

I use fossify gallery-app, it allows exclusion of specific folders in its settings.
(It’s also loads fotos a bit faster than built in gallery)
