Doing a grep over the gallery-app source code, it doesn't look like it is using mediascanner.

Note that if you stick .nomedia files in the music folder, mediascanner will respect those and make that music disappear from the music scope and app though.

Mediascanner is driving the local photos scope though, and these pieces of folder cover art will likely show up there.

For internal storage, we could filter out photos in the Music folder (should we also filter out videos? What if an album shipped with some music and some videos and the user stuck the whole lot in the music folder?).

For removable media we don't scan media type specific folders, but instead scan the entire volume. So we don't have an obvious way to suppress folder cover art, other than ignoring file names that might be folder art entirely.
