Camera date and time prefix problem

Im having some trouble with the camera on this thing. On the diamond I could set the name of the videos and photos to be the date and time (prefix) even if they were saved to the 4GB internal storage. But on the Touch Pro it will only save with the date and time prefix if the photos and videos are saved to the internal ROM and not the memorycard. The option to change the prefix is dimmed if I have chosed to save photos and videos to the memorycar.
Does anyone have a solution ? Cause this is driving me nuts.

i have the same problem..
Anyone knows how i can fix this?

Anyone Ever find a fix for this? It is the same on the Fuze.

Found the Fix
While poking around after adding burst and sport modes for the camera I found a fix.
Change d-word from 1 to 0 for:
"HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\EnableDCIM"
This does 2 things:
1. Creates folders "storage card\my documents\(my pictures) + (my videos)
2. Enables selection of Prefix type in camera settings when storage card is selected as storage type

The reason that photos on the storage card are treated differently is so that they will be stored in the same way a digital camera stores photos; that way you can plug the storage card into a printer that is able to print directly from a camera card and it will be able to print photos taken with the Touch Pro, as well. It can't do that with the "My Documents\My Pictures" layout.

Thanks for the info. Since i don't use that method for printing my pictures I am going to keep DCIM disabled so i can name the files with the date. I hate just having em all named image#.

Thanks!
Now, I dont have all the images with IMG*...

Thank you very much. this is applicable to HTC HD2 Leo too. I'm going to suggest to be added to HD2 Tips.

photo album thumbnails

I new that the .thumbnails folder in the dcim folder on my sd card is where the photo album stored the thumbnails of the pictures on my SD CARD, but what I did not know is that these thumbnails are the save exact size as the original files. so it seems it was just copied to that folder and renamed to a bunch of numbers.
This is a total waste of space I have quite a few LARGE photos on my 8gb SD card.
Q} Why is there a need for thumbnails that are the same size as the originals
Q} How do I reduce the quality of the thumbnails {I know I can't, there is no option to}

This explains a lot. I have tons of pictures on my SD card and now understand why it takes forever and a day to load all the thumbnails. What a joke on the devs part. (i can see this being a temp thing and then it was totally forgotten about later in the dev process. LOL) hope this is addressed in the new updates. Would probably speens things up, thumbnails at least, tenfold.

[Q] Save Footprints in Storage Card

Hello, someone have been able to save Footprints on the storage card rather than the internal memory (small and full)?
I've taken a look to the registry but couldn't find anything. The structure in my case is different from the one described in thread 731863
Why the hell did they disabled the option to save on the storage card?

[Q] Gallery empties out my photos after reboot?

My photos in my gallery disappear from the gallery but when I check they are under my sd card > DCIM > so I am wonder is there a way to point my pictures so they show up all the time in the gallery? They never did this until I decided to flash which is worth it. I would bet there has to be a way to point our pics to the gallery from the sd card?
Also I have noticed my Videos does the same as well
Cheers,

Wow, weird.
What ROM are you using? Have you tried opening the pictures up through Astro or Root Explorer? Those will usually give you the option to "Open With," and you can choose the gallery. I wonder if that would make the gallery realize the pictures are there.
Also, do you have your phone plugged into USB when this happens? Maybe your sd card is mounted as a drive automatically (instead of charging only), so it's unavailable to read from the phone.

****** is my sd_card a rat ??? ******

Hello World, I have a question, maybe a stupid one, but here we go
Example: I buy a fresh, new android phone. First thing I do is insert an SD card that is full with photos. I open the gallery app and click on 8 photos from the SD card and look at them fullscreen. Now I remove the SD card from the phone. Question: Did these 8 photos (or any other non-clicked photos) in any way leave a trace in the internal storage of the phone, in the form of full copy, temporary copy, thumbnails...... (so in theory, this trace can be recovered with the proper recovery technique).
What do you think? Any answers are appreciated,
Thank you in advance, Leo.

Whenever you use a gallery app in android to view photos or video from any medium(sd card or Internal storage or Usb otg),
A thumbnail file(image) is created fir every browsed image file, which is smaller in size also.
Which helps us browse the image faster without loading it.
Now since every android app stores all temporary file in Internal storage.
Therefor these thumbnails are also stored in Internal Storage.
Most of the thumbnail files are stored in "DCIM/. thumbnail" location.

I have read this article and it claims that:
Thumbnail files are stored in DCIM folder:
/storage/emmc/DCIM/.thumbnails (if only phone memory is used)
/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/.thumbnails (if there is an SD card in the phone)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Galaxy S4 and S5 with an SD card. When I take a photo with the camera app, the photos are stored directly on the SD card (so the DCIM folder in my internal storage is empty). In the DCIM folder on my SD card there are currently 20 photos. When I use the Solid Explorer Classic app I am not able to see the DCIM/.thumbnails folder on the SD card, but I can see it on the internal storage.
The DCIM/.thumbnails folder on the internal storage does not have any thumbnails of the 20 photos from the SD card (but there are other thumbnails for example from viber app...).
So my question is: Where are these thumbnails of the 20 photos from the SD card located? (do they even exist?)
Thank you and all the best,
Leo

No
No one can recover the original quality of those 8 pictures but the phone must save their thumbnails but these thumbs will have very low quality graphics.

Thank you for your replies.
Does anybody else have any extra thoughts??

Anything?

Maybe?

The folder you are talking about is typically a hidden folder. Does Solid Explorer have an option/setting that allows viewing hidden files and folders?

Yes it is true, this is a hidden folder. Solid Explorer has the option/setting to view hidden files and folders.
I have enabled this option (from the start) and I am not able to see the DCIM/.thumbnails folder on the SD card, but I can see it on the internal storage.

Just to be sure I understand you correctly, you mean it doesn't show the DCIM/.thumbnails folder when viewing external storage from within Solid Explorer but it shows when viewing internal?
Also, do you mean you can't see the folder itself or you can't see what is actually inside the folder?
