Media scanner should treat images from Folder.jpg files (and similar) differently because these are known to be cover art and, therefore, should not appear as pictures in the photo roll and gallery.

Some of the music files don't have embedded cover art and their folders contain those cover art images. When I then opened the Gallery app, I noticed I now have thousands of "pictures" imported from the cover art images showing up in my Events and Pictures tabs, cluttering the real pictures I've taken with the camera. Is there a way to tell either mediascanner or the Gallery app to ignore a path and not import/show the images there? E.g. similar to Android, where you can put a .nomedia file in a folder and its images won't show up in the picture viewer.
