Hi,
I m using the slide panle with media theme. Now i wish to change the default folder for the Pictures in this.
Currently it picks the images of the folder "Main Memory/My Picutres"
I want to use the Pics folder of my Storage Card. How can i do so.
I tried to fiddle with a registry entry for "default path" but in vain.
Can someone help me??
Thanks
Lokesh
maybe by changing the systems default path?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Pictures]
"LocalPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
did you try to change this key and reset? don't panic if it does not work. just change it back and reset again
I hope you mean Reboot by saying Reset.
I have done that...lets see if it works...
Thanks anyways dear
It doesnot work..

You can copy your pictures in \storage card\pictures
I don't know if it works with short cut.

Things I'd like to find :
* How to make the My Pictures panel in the new homescreen to look for pictures in other folders. Any idea ? Apparently we need to hex edit cmhome.dll for that
You can reed it on Dr Martin's thread
If you put your pictures in this location, the sliding panel will read there.
I did it and it works.
@xounet, what location are you taking about. I m currently having my pics at \Staorage Card\Pics.
Do i need to change the folder location or what???
anybody has any ideas how to change it? would bengreat to have access to real album. not gonna store pics in main memory. suggestions needed.
i got partial solution. if you put pics in DCIM directory on mem card they gonna be on home screen!
the only registry entry i found with DCIM value in is
hklm-system-pictures-camera-oem-picturelocation-external
but after changing it nothing happens. anybody knows how to change default camera folder? so all the taken pics are in DCIM folder?
I'm with tepss. I want my camera to simply save to Storage Card/pictures and I'll be in heaven.
This is something even i will be interested in...As you might be aware we can as pf now store pics in \Storage Card\my Pictures folders only and they are pulled in to Home Screen...
Can some Senior member help a way out
? pics are stored i MY PICTURES on mem card and plugin reads everything in folder DCIM so we're looking for changing location in settings in camera to have them saved in DCIM or changing folder read by MyPictures slide. anybody?

Hiya!
I was wondering how I would edit the path of My Photos on CHome...
I want to change it to the Storage Card Pictures folder instead of the default path.
I tried the CHome Configurator, but it does not give Customize access to that panel
I don't think it's possible, people keep requesting it, but I never saw a solution. There is no option for it in the registry.

Woah. xounet you are good. At first I thought you misunderstood me, so I thought I would try it out before I replied.
I made a directory \storage card\pictures
dropped in a pic, and voila!

Thanks but the tip it's not from me. I read it from these forum long time ago, but I don't remenber from who.
i've read that in Mona Lisa ROM from Dr. Gonzo it works also with the standard path of the camera application..
"-the photo panel now shows pictures on the storage card located in storage card\pictures and storage card\my documents\my pictures"
someone knows how to tweak it without flashing to Mona Lisa's ROM?
Yes, i have solution.
It will be included in my future new rom clean v1.2, but i have a big problem, Vox freezes everytime with new SYS...
Bye.
so there are no tweaks to do that without flashing the new ROM?
Any news on this ?
*BUMP*
Sorry for bumping this thread but I am very interested in a solution of this, without the need of flashing my ROM.

I really didnt think it would work either but sure enough it did! thanks!!
Now if i can just get my GPS to get a lock ill be all set.
Hey there,
Is there a way to save the taken camera shots to a custom folder on the Storage Card of my Touch Pro? I tried changing the location keys in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera but that doesn't seem to work. They're always saved in Storage Card\My Documents.
Anyone?
in Advanced Config you can switch it to Storage Card\DCIM if it helps you..
I tried to switch it to custom folder with no luck too, but DCIM is always better than My Pictures
Thanks, I've done that. It's definitely better than My Pictures but I wanted to set it to Storage Card\Photos. I just like everything well organized.
Anyway, seems I have to live with that.
i would also like to know how to do this with my diamond, i can only change it to a folder that's within My Documents
XDA-readers,
I had a question about the prefix you can select in the camera settings.
With this I mean, when a picture is saved, the name is image_024.jpg,
but with a prefix it's for example 20091215_14:00.jpg.
I read that the prefix can only be selected if you save you're pictures to you're phone in stead of the storage card? This I find weird.
Is there a tweak or am I missing something?
Because on my P3600 it was possible to use the prefix.

I did see this the other day, when I was digging round in the registry, and I'd be happy to try and find it again for you, but before I do, I'm pretty sure that you can only set a static prefix. For example, it's currently image001, image002, image003 etc.. You can change the word "image" to something else, but you can't make it save the image with a datetime like you've suggested.
Still want me to look? I don't really see the point in changing it, personally.
Reason
Thanks for the time!
The reason was that I got used to is with my HTC P3600. Most of the time I have my pictures sorted by name and not by date. The handy thing about the date-time prefix is that I could keep the pictures sortbed by name, and have the pictures sorted by date-time at the same time. Also, you never have the same name for new pictures, for example if you reset the counter.
So that's the reason, for you to deside if you put more time in this topic.
many thanks,
Timo

Yeah, I understand why you'd want that, and I'd probably switch it on myself, if it were an available option. I suppose the next best thing would be an app that when run would scan your images folder and rename all the files, according to their date/time.
Hmmm.... may be something for me to look at tonight
Possible
If that's possible, it would be the next best thing indeed.
But the possibility to put the 'prefix' option on would be awesome
I still don't understand why it can only be switched on when saving on the phone memory instead of storage card...

I'm very dubious about that. Where did you get that information?
Just tried it, and it's stupid, but true.
-Put storage on phone (instead of card)
-Then go to the 'prefix' setting and you see you can change it to date-time
it's also in the manual, page 244:
----
Prefix. The file name of a newly captured photo or video is set to “IMAG” or “VIDEO” followed by a sequential number, for example: IMAG0001.jpg. You can also choose the current Date or Date & Time as the file name prefix.
Note You cannot change the file name prefix when saving captured photos to a storage card. Captured photos are named using the convention IMAGnnnn.jpg (where ‘nnnn’ is the counter), and are saved to the \DCIM\100MEDIA folder on the storage card.

Yeah, that is stupid.
Luckily, there's a registry hack to enable datetime prefix when you have storage on the card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3036115&postcount=4
Do the registry change and then soft reset. You can then select storage as card and prefix as datetime.
Thanks mate - I've learned something new today, and I'll definitely use it!
Cheers!

Thanks!

The only way I know is to move them into a different folder. If you REALLY don't want them to show up, you could zip them up and delete the originals. They's about as good as I can suggest I'm afraid. Either that, or stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.
Too much porn on your phone, am I right guys?
Did u try to hide them with total commander or other file manager?

Changing the file attributes doesn't help. The album apps still show them. This is one of the things that bugged me when I made my "Hide Folders" app. It became a little pointless when certain applications didn't care about the "hidden" attribute.
Hi there
I use a Software named "Secubox". With this, i can create a virtual storage card which I can mount and unmount if i need it.
Its also encryptet, so the data stored there is secure and you have no access, if you don't have the password...
Works nice on my HD2, the only solution for this kind of data ;-)
else: put your pictures in a subfolder in Program Files... Album will show them only if you browse there....
Tip with the Program folder does it for me ! thank you!
Hi,photos in touchflo3D come by default from DCIM folder on your storage card . You can create a new folder called from example DCIM2 an put here photos that you don't want to see in the Touchflo3D .

That works for the very front of the GUI, but if you click on albums, you get to see the folders with images in them. I believe the above suggestion of putting your images in a program files sub-folder stops that happening.
Also, if you were to use the pictures & videos app, you can browse the folders all over the phone, so it's still not 100%. I think the suggestion of a secure, encrypted area is the most secure of the lot.
Either that or take my previous advice, and stop taking c**k shots lol.
Hi, I wrote the following script for my TP2 which did the trick. You need to have Mortscript installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548841
Hide Photos
Not sure if this helps but what I do is :
I have on the SD card, a folder with all my data in called imaginatively Data.
In there I have Videos, Photos, Documents, and Hidden.
And pictures I don't want to be seen in Album, I put in the hidden folder.
Then in Total Commander :
Select the folder
Click File
Then >>>>>
Then Properties
This allows you to adjust the attributes.
Click Hidden, and click Recurse subdirs. (If you don't do the recurse, it will hide the folder but NOT the images within).
Then click OK.
Reverse the process when you want to get them back.
It's like 5 clicks to hide, and 5 to get them back.
No need to rename or anything, I found it works for me.
Hi,
create a new folder for private pictures and add to Album ignored list.
Example
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored]
"Maps from TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Western*"
"TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Navigator"
"Musik"="\\Storage Card\\Musik"
"MSMetaData"="\\Storage Card\\MSMetaData"
"Camera"="\\My Documents\\Templates"
"MMS"="\\My Documents\\UAContents"
[COLOR="Red"]"Private"="\\Storage Card\\Private Pictures"[/COLOR]
with friendly greet
starbase64
yep
the upper post doesn't work, but no doubt the easiest way to do it is posted up by jaknife with recurse subfolders hide method
Another solution.. in the thread [REF]*Leo Hints & Tips*, at the tip no 64:
"64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset."
works only in HTC Album, not manila interface
Hi,
Thanks to starbase64 and traianboala , I have tried the ignore string key, and works fine in albums program of HTC, but the images still appear on manila Photos & Videos (that is on the manila interface) any solution or another ignore string / list for the manila interface?
Sounds like you got alot of self made home private spicy photo's/videos..
stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.

This worked for me. You just have to make sure you typed it right
I Wanted to know if there was any way to change the way the sense photo viewer scanned for files. For example could I get it to only show photos in a specific folder on my SD card. Reason being I have created a separate folder called contacts and I do not want it to display the photos in there.
Thanks
Same question, looking for reply.
yes you can, as far as I know .. go to the folder that you want to show through the Albums then choice the folder Menu>>Set Album as Favorite.
Hope this help
