If you have this problem and can create files in the directory, where it is stored, create an empty file in the upmost folder of the game called “.nomedia” (with the period).
This will tell android to ignore this folder when searching for pictures and video.
Even easier solution for me, I installed the fossify gallery app and disabled my phones default one, and that lets me selectively whitelist and blacklist media directories
even easier solution for me, i built my own smart phone with my bare hands and programmed my own software with built-in algorithm that auto detects the difference between game assets and the photorealistic drawings that i create with charcoal and pigments i extract from nature myself.
oh wait none of this shit is easier than copying a dummy file into a folder; i was just being silly.
Dunno. Most of that collection I just got from a friend.
Seems to me like having the data just once in a folder is more space efficient than redundantly storing it in every single file’s metadata?
I mean, its just a few kB each, but even that adds up.
And also there’s sometimes not just the cover artwork for an album, but also back-cover, an image of the disc itself and the whole booklet.

Even easier solution for me, I flashed GrapheneOS onto my device so I can limit the storage scope of my gallery app to my picture folder.

Does that also work for the album-art images I have in my mp3-collection? Or will it ignore the music as well?
It’ll ignore the music. Why isn’t your art embedded in the mp3 though?

Depending on the image gallery you’re using it might respect .noimage
