Is there any way to make the htc camera album the default viewer???
try going into the registry and navigating to
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum
and changing the entry "default_viewer" from 0 to 1. I haven't tested it out myself, but seems like a logical choice, lol.
tried that before. it doesn't work. I also even tried changing the :MSPIMG registry entry from pimg.exe to htcalbum.exe. that doesnt work either. THe only way so far has been to use Resco Explorer to overwrite the pimg.exe file in the \windows directory. But since you can't back that up easily or rename it, you would essentially have to "lose" your original pimg.exe. i'm not willing to try that yet. so i can't confirm it even works. but someone in the Kaiser forum said they did it and it worked.
Have you tried Schaps Advanced Config Tool ?
On the tab "file associations" set the program to open jpg files to the HTC camera album program.
Worked for me ;-)
This doesn't make it the default viewer within the camera app however. It seems that pimg.exe is hardcoded in the camera software.
Also, I believe that unless the images are in the image directory that the camera is set to save in, having the .jpg associated with HTCAlbum.exe will not open the images located elswhere. At least that is what I have found.
how do i gt the latest camera album for my touch p3452
moved to Q&A
I like the HTC Camera Album very much but I can't change the directories to browse my picture which are not in DCIM-Folder.
Is there a possibility to add this function?
I found the reg-entry to make the standard picture viwer but its senceless without "directory change"-menu.
I testet "HTC AlbumFolder DirectoryOption.cab" but when I want to install it occurs a failure with the rights of my device.
Thank u 4 help!
Like 2hot4tv, I'm puzzled about how you view photo's in other directories using htc's otherwise excellent camera album.
I did discover that if I used "open with" (part of ISS essentials) to open a picture stored elsewhere, then it appeared in the album, but only that picture, not its neighbours.
Yours hopefully,
Roy.

Is not solution !
You can try the following. That will not allow you to view all the pictures in different directories with HTC Album, but you get rid of the DCIM folder.
1. In the camera menu choose the option to save the pictures on the storage card.
2. Then do the following registry change:
HKLM \Software\HTC\Camera\General
Set "EnableDCIM" to 0 (default is 1)
This will change the path for the camera album to Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures
3. Copy all your pictures in this directory.
Now you can view them with HTC Album.
To view pictures in different folders, you have to use the HTC Picture an Video viewer programm.
Best regards
Starwalker
It is already doing for a long time, but it is for its video does not work, they remain in the DCIM directory
HELP
Only MPG4 videos are shown in HTC Album. It seems, that HTC Album is not able to show other coded videos. Switching back to the DCIM folder don´t work.
So far as I know, there is no solution at the moment.
Best regards
Starwalker
Windows mobile device centre syncs all pictures to the \Storage Card\Pictures folder. Is it possible to change the settings for the HTC camera album to view this folder instead of DCIM or My Pictures?
Thanks
greg
some solutions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376418 including some versions of HTC Album that allow you to choose which folder you want to browse.
Solution
Here is the solution to that problem:
1: Create a folder in your storage card named "My Documents" and inside it another named "My Pictures"
1: Remove your storage card
2: Go to File Explorer, go to My Device and create a New Folder named "Storage Card"
3: Insert your storage card and now it should be named "Storage Card2"(that's because the system changes it)
That's it! If you take pictures(and assuming you've selected storage card as destination) they should save in Storage Card2/My Documents/My Pictures
I hope its useful!!

You are kidding right? Anyway this is a really old thread, but for people who still don't know the answer to this question, the best way nowadays is to upgrade to the latest version of HTC Album. Search for M2D Applications and you'll find it.
Hello guys,
I've been searching a lot, yet could not find the answer.
I would like to be able to open either programs (meaning path start/programs) or just a specific folder from softkey or hardware key.
Is there any way to open the specified folder. Do I need to create a shortcut to this folder? I have tried something like /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works) but I would need to be able to open them not in list view yet as the programs do apear.
Is there any specific command to at least run the programs, where I would just click the specific folder?
Thank you in advance,
tampiss
I guess a workaround would be a similar apporach to your, /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works).
Find a file manger that will display in icon view, rather than list, or details... then make a shortcut using that.
Any ideas?
Resco Explorer look promising,
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp
Total Commander CE does an Icon View.
Now... does it respond to command line switches, so I can get it to start in a specified folder?
Hi, I found a post on how change the program to open pictures on titanium for the Picture tab.
HKLM\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPIMG
change to
1=HTCAlbum.exe
I changed the 1=HTCAlbum.exe to 1=s2p.exe but it tells me that hte certificate is not signed or its not a trusted program. Thats weird cause I can run it form the Programs file. How do I get it to work?
Also how do I change the directory so that it will show the pictures from \Storage Card\Picture and not \My Documents\Pictures ?

you need the full path to the program
ex. \Program Files\S2P\s2p.exe
and the picture directory, you can try the Advanced Config, it can change the location of the picture folder

Thanks. I have tried that but it gave me trouble.
Also where in advanced config can I change the picture directory?
Before formatting my TD2 I made a full backup.
Now I want to transfer my Shazam tagged songs list back.
Simple copy paste from the backup is not working.
Where Shazam is keeping the list of tagged songs?
How do I export that list?
__________
Update: found it!
Can someone please open this attached shazam.db (from shazam for wm 6.5 ) and return the song list , date and time in some other format? xls, cvs etc.
Thanks!
Update:
Shazam.db file in aplication data\shazam\folder is where all tags are stored.
Did you have any luck with this? I was hoping to do the same thing, but I hit a wall when I realized that I don't know how to access files on my Droid's internal storage. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?
Found nothing so far.
Anyone?
Incorrect....
Either the htc hero has a different file structure or this information is inaccurate....
There is no such file path.
I whipped a quick app (attached below) that can back up the shazam database file to your SDCard (in folder "shazambackup") and restores it need be.
Also you can export the Tagged songs to xml (saved as "exports.xml" in the "shazambackup" folder).
Next i'll probably parse the xml to a more readable format. Maybe CSV? or just Plain Text? Any ideas are welcome!
Let me know if you have any issues. So far i've only tested it on my G1. Must also have a rooted phone for any of this to work.

Anyone can help?
See first post.
You're dealing with mostly Android here, you may want to ask in a WM or phone specific forum.

Does not work properly on Desire. Opens the app after installation but "backup" button does not create the backup file and "Export to XML" makes the app force close without exporting anything.
About the export feature - the CSV version would probably be the best.
Thanks!

Can you or someone please export attached shazam.db (zip) in any other usable format?

CSV would be great
The app's export to xml feature also fails on HTC Evo 4G (GingerBread).
Solution with SQLite
Hi everybody,
I found a solution to export the list via SQLite. I had to find it for myself as I found nothing on the web, but I put it here, so perhaps somebody else is looking for such a solution as well.
This explanation is about how to get Shazam's data base file from your Android phone, access it on your computer and export a list of your tagged songs.
1. COPY FILE FROM PHONE
The data is stored in the file on your Android:
/data/data/com.shazam.android/databases/library.db
You have to copy this file to your Computer to work with it. Probably everybody does this in a different way. Mine was probably a bit more difficult than necessary, there should be simpler ways (e.g. with ssh / scp), but mine was: Opening the Android app "Terminal" and typing in the command:
Code:
cp /data/data/com.shazam.android/databases/library.db /sdcard
Then the file was copyed on the sdcard, which I could access to with my computer via USB cable.
Then you need a program which can open SQLite-Files. There is the command line tool (at least in Linux) "sqlite3", but also graphical tools for Linux/Windows/Mac like the "sqlitebrowser" (Link: sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser).
2. OUTPUT FROM DATA BASE:
In every of these tools, you can execute SQL-commands. For my output I chose:
Code:
SELECT a.name , t.title, t.subtitle, t.album, t.subgenre_name, tg.short_datetime, tg.location_name , tg.lat, tg.lon
FROM artist a, artist_track at, track t, tag tg
WHERE a.id = at.artist_id AND at.track_id = t._id AND tg.track_id = t._id ORDER BY tg.timestamp;
This command displays a list of the songs, ordered by their timestamp.
So with the command line tool "sqlite3" you just type in:
sqlite3 -line /tmp/library.db "SELECT a.name , t.title, t.subtitle, t.album, t.subgenre_name, tg.short_datetime, tg.location_name , tg.lat, tg.lon FROM artist a, artist_track at, track t, tag tg WHERE a.id = at.artist_id AND at.track_id = t._id AND tg.track_id = t._id ORDER BY tg.timestamp;"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The output is in lines, you could also let put this in a text file by e.g. adding to this command:
"[see above] > shazam-tracks.txt"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is also a way to export the data into an html table (just the table, no complete html file), by changing "-line" for "-html". For further details on how to export everything to a different file format (CVS etc) have a look on the Manpage of sqlite3 (command "man sqlite3").
With the graphical tool "sqlitebrowser" it is imho only possible to show this list, not to export it to a textfile. After having opened the .db-file with the program, you chose the tab "Execute SQL" and put there the above SQL command ("SELECT [...]"). Voilà!
3. DETAILS:
What I do like this is combining the necessary data of the database. They are spread over several tables. There is a table "artist" with the list of the artists and their unique ids. Then there is the same for the tracks, "track". In the "artist_track" table there is listed, which artist's id belongs tho which track's id. Finally in the table "tag" there are additional data like the time stamp of the song and even it's geo data tag.
With the SQLite program you can easily watch all the data and add / remove data from the SQL command, as you wish.
So far, I hope, I could help somebody?

Thanks!!! It helped me since Shazam no longer gets past the setup screen!
I found that with SQliteExport you can use your same command above and export to a file of your choice, for example, xls or csv. Here's the link to the little program:

Tried but cant do it. I need step by step instruction. Or better, can someone just export the db that I attached? (See OP - first post - shazam.db ?)
Thanks

Best solution for exporting from shazam database
Delete this one please
Hello I am new on the forum. I've learned a lot of things in this website, it's time to payback
I’ve got another solution to this issue….
1.-Download this plugin for Firefox.
addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager
2.- In Firefox – Tools, select SQLite Manager
3.- In the new window select database – connect database – then open your db from shazam
4.- Then you’ll see two panels. on left panel select track and on right panel, select browse and search then you’ll be able to see all your tag info
5.- On the left panel select track – right click – export table, select csv on right panel then ok.
6.- Open your new saved database with any office (word, excel)
7.- That’s all

This above works well nice one.
I was trying to do my own program before I saw this.I'm not a programmer but I stuck together a few bits of code I found and hopefully works you you. Use android app Root Browser Lite to copy file from data/data/com.shazam.android/databases/library.db to your sd card. Or use the app posted earlier which does this for you.
Put library.db file from you Shazam backup in the same folder as this program and run program and hit 'GetTags' and should get CSV and htm versions of your tags. No error checking or anything fancy in this program. Requires .NET 3.5. May only work on 32-bit machines. I'd like to enhance this and will if people find it useful.
How results should look.
