It’s always eaten at me when I see someone taking a photo of a parking lot sign or some trivial piece of information, saving megabytes of data for a couple of bytes worth of data. However, I find myself guilty of doing this sort of nonsense sometimes as well now. I don’t want these photos getting synced to my photo cloud, and I’d prefer it if they were much smaller, lower res photos anyway. Is there a decent app I can open that I can quickly take default low res photos with and keep them separately stored locally without integrating to my photo gallery? Preferably FOSS of course.
Looks like you can add your own folders in Fossify gallery, and you can exclude folders as well. So you could probably include the folder you want, and then exclude DCIM, as that folder seems to be included by default.
