I'd like to know how to open a .nomedia file. There are a few programs that come up when you google it but they seem to be bloatware or worse. Any easy way to do this? Thanks very much.

What I read was that snapchat "saves" the pictures with .jpgnomedia file extensions so that the phone won't open them up again, however, the files are still there, see:

I didn't save them like that, that's how they already were. I tried changing the file name and saving it as .jpg but it still didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong. I can open it up with word but it's just a bunch of symbols.

Ok I did that and the full version shows up. I still have the same issue though. See below:

I changed the bottom one to just .jpg (I dropped off the nomedia) but it just loads a blank image that says "invalid image".
