MediaDB ignores files and directories whose names begin with "." when scanning. But it does not correctly ignore device storage change events for those same files. When the Camera app records a video, it generates then deletes a dot file like this, which causes the following warning in logcat: Content JS WARN at app://gallery.gaiamobile.org/shared/js/mediadb.js:1274 in anonymous: MediaDB: Unknown file in insertRecord: DCIM/100MZLLA/.VID_0004.3gp This particular warning is benign, so we don't need to fix this in the 1.0.x timeline, but we should track it and get the patch I'm about to fix landed soonish.

Dale, This is a minor patch to mediadb related to the Camera's use of a dot file. The review should be simple, but is not urgent, since I don't know when we'll be able to land this.

I've attached a patch and have nominated this as tracking-b2g18 so we don't forget to land it.
