Angry Copilot PNGs appearing in Media Gallery

OK so I installed Copilot Live 7 onto my i8510, and all was well and good. Then I opened up my Media Gallery and to my horror, all the PNG images (icons, etc.) used by Copilot (around 1500 of them in total) had somehow made their way into it alongside my personal images and videos. This is a problem obviously, as it makes browsing through the gallery pretty tedious.

I tried putting them all into their own folder to keep them out of the way, but after doing so this caused major slowdown when using the gallery. I'm pretty sure that if I delete the files from the Library, they are gone for good, which will leave Copilot unfunctional. Is there a way to appoint which folders the Media Library should monitor, or something? Or maybe a third party app that does something similar? Or anything else that will get the Media Library back to normal while leaving Copilot functional?

Thanks

Same thing happened on my N95 with TomTom software and MP3 album art. It appears to be a Symbian OS 'flaw'...

Connect the phone in USB transfer mode and make them all hidden

yep - just locate the png files, and just hide them via windows explorer....i.e. right click, properties, check hidden button.

As a side-note, how did you install CoPilot? I moved the folders to (as far as I'm aware) the correct locations on the memory card (root) but there doesn't seem to be anything to run/open anywhere.

Thanks all you guys, that worked a treat!

KM, you want to look in the Private folder in the Root directory. In there should be a folder called 10202dce, and in there should be a .sis setup file. I believe this is what you're looking for.

I have no folder called '10202dce' or 'Private'. Oh well.

You won't be able to see them on the phone itself BTW, you're gonna have to connect in mass storage mode to have a look. You should see 4 copilot folders in the root of your memory, among others: copilot, private, resource, and sys. Private is the one you want to look in.

I used Y-Browser. It found nothing.
