OK, so I have a LOT of pictures on my phone. I am also in a band and a lot of them are from each show. I hate having so many folders for all my pix in the Gallery though.
What I would like, is to be able to set like a root folder that contains the subfolder.
(E.G.) Right now is it like...
Bands name 3.23.09
Bands name 4.20.10
Bands name 5.15.10
etc
I would just like to see "Bands name" and when I click on that see all the "Nested subfolders" like....3.23.09, 4.20.10, 5.15.10, etc.
If there is a work around to make the default gallery do this, it would make my day. If not any app recommendations that resemble the default gallery but do what I am looking for?
Thanks in Advance.
I'm looking for the same exact thing.
Anyone had any luck finding something like this?
Have you tried Quickpic? I'm not sure if it does exactly what you need but it's a hundred times better than 'Gallery'!
i am searching for SAME thing.
want a program that can
1. let me make multiple PLAYLISTS of photo's !!!!!
this CANNOT be that difficule.
2. allow selection of MAIN folder, and allow random playing/viewing , as slideshow, of ALL CONTAINED photo's, no matter which subfolder !
my mom is 83 years old, dad is 93. we bought them an android to do photo shows. Picture frames are useless; they can't comprehend concept of truly random.
Quickpic is very GOOD at showing a default slideshow (either ordered or random) of the SUBFOLDER you select, but it will NOT allow playing of all slides in the PARENT folder (recursing to subfolders).
I want to make slideshow LISTS, for my mom, so she can select various ones
similar to ipod, add all your music, then make playlists, play groups of what you want, IN ORDER, OR random (shuffle), your pick
any feedback appreciated.
Have looked at most of the other photo players in android, same story ; even apple players don't do the best
thanks

I thought I had made a thread for this a while ago, but can not find it. Sorry if its a repost.
What I was wondering is whether or not someone who had an app, or the skilz to make an app, that can take a sample of an mp3/wma/ogg/flac/etc file, match it on say shazam or something then update the ID3 tag with the pulled info. With the option for it just to rename them automatically, or ask for your approval of changes. Much like how Album Art Grabber gets your artwork for you on mass, with little or no manual intervention. This would be great for a few reasons.
I have been finding myself using mp3 download apps on my phone a lot now, more so than my comp and these files are usually incomplete at best. a way to get these, then run this app to fix discrepancies would be awesome!
Its not that I'm lazy, I just have 10+ years of tunes on my external and a lot of them didn't get tags back in the day. Plus after that long, uploads, downloads, 4 computers, iTunes (ARGH!!! I HATE ITUNES!!!!!!) renaming and reorganizing have some in a mess. So when I transfer them, they usually all show up unknown, null, or DGOI.mp3. And renaming & tagging 1000s of songs one by one is not how I want to spend a week.
Hope this sparks an idea, or someone can point me in the direction of one that already exists. I'm sure one does for a PC, but I don't use mine for media other than movies. My phone is my music machine. If a PC solution is the only way so be it.
I don't know of an app that can do this but maybe someone could take the method that the app ,"MP3 Download", uses. First you search for a song and can preview then you can choose to download it. Once you have downloaded it you can goto edit tags and it has a download button... I don't know what database it uses or how it is configured but it will give you album art and is usually correct. I think it has to have the album name though.
Thanks! I'll try that on there, and my old iMusic Tao apk I still have.
Mixzing pro can do this

I want a gallery app that doesn't just clump every folder with pictures in it in to root gallery.
For example:
/album/pets/cat
/album/pets/dog
/album/pets/fish
In the stock app (and all others I've tried) will put cat, dog, fish right in the main gallery. I just want to see a subfolder called pets.
Looking at my photos and directory structure on a computer, my files are neat and well organized. In gallery it takes forever to find what I'm looking for.
I've tried just about every app out there, and even sent feature requests to several authors. The author of Quickpic said he'd consider it. Thats about the furthest I've got.
Any other suggestions?
You should check out JustPictures. It's in the market. I've been using it for a while, and it's great.
Or also QuickPics also in the market
I should of listed the ones I've tried. JustPictures and Quickpics behaves the same as the stock app regarding folder structure.
I actually emailed both devs about adding that feature..

Maybe it'll get added to QuickPic, I emailed the dev about that too - or at least a tag type of implementation where I could tag my folders and sort by the tags. QuickPic is still a great app.
EDIT: You can sort by path in QuickPic, but all of the folders are still on one screen. Example: If you have:
/colors, then
/colors/blue
/colors/green
/colors/red
-and-
/pets, then
/pets/cats
/pets/dogs
/pets/fish
The folders will show up in this order: blue, green, red, cats, dogs, fish. At least common folders will be grouped near the others in the same parent directory. I believe this feature was implemented in the latest update.

Cool, I knew I couldnt be the only one that organizes by folders.
My real pain is I have a folder called work where I keep all my work related stuff. Theres a ton of stuff and all the subfoloders clutter up the main gallery view..

If you use that folder more than any other, there's also an option to automatically open the app to the last opened folder when you launch the app. If you need a different folder, you just hit the back button.
The MIUI gallery is awesome because it has three views -Favorites, All Folders, and SD card - that are tabs at the top of the app. I use QuickPic for certain things, but the MIUI gallery is my default gallery because I put the 3-5 folders I use the most on the favorites tab, so usually that's all I need. If QuickPic could do something like this, it'd be my default.
EDIT: Just realized your problem is with the work folder's subfolders, not with having to go through everything to get to the work folder. You could exclude the work folder (and it's subfolders) in QuickPic, and use the stock gallery for work stuff. That way the work stuff doesn't get in the way with QuickPic. I'm still hoping for a folder-tree type of listing.

Bingo
Hopefully others see this and email the author too. I even told him I'd be willing to donate. I really like QP the best, its small, fast, and efficient. Only that one feature is missing.
Just bought an HTC Radar and I love it! So much faster and smoother than my previous android. However, there are a few things which I don't know how to do.
-How do I move files from the root directory of skydrive into a folder? I can move files from within a folder to another folder; I can move an entire folder to another folder, but I can't move files from the root directory. I can't figure out how to do this even when online with my computer.
-Under x-box live, it opens up to "Collection" whereupon it displays three games, Angry Birds Fruit Ninja and Doodle God. Is this somehow different from "spotlight?" I don't own any of those games.
-Is there a native ability to rotate images taken with the camera or do I have to install an app?
Minor questions I suppose. This phone is great.
Good question. I was dissappointed the skydrive app could not move them. Probably the best thing right now is to log onto skydrive via a pc and move them.
The games i think are just so you can try them out. They are the one's i think that are listed as top xbox live. i rely more on the marketplace then from within the games hub.
for the 3rd, i don't think i've ever taken a picture upside down till about 3 days ago and it was a video lol. was outside with my dog in the snow and didn't realize i had flipped the phone when i was picking up snowballs. I think you would need an app for it. Look at thumba photo editor. It will integrate under "apps" when you hit the ... by the picture it can resize, rotate, crop, flip and more + adjust and apply about 25 filters. Well worth the price.
Logging onto Skydrive via PC lets me move some files but not all of them. Strange. I just looked at two word files...I could move one of them from the root directory but not the other. There are three OneNote book files there that I can't move either.
Thanks for the tip about the photo editor; I'll have to try it later.
Last night, I was looking through my Gallery and saw a few things I'd drawn in SketchBook Pro. Not everything I'd drawn in SK was there, but some were. I figured they were copies or thumbnails or something and, because I like to keep my file systems clean, I deleted them from the Gallery.
Well, turns out they weren't copies or thumbnails, but MY DRAWINGS! Ugh!
So my question is, is there anything comparable to a recycle bin on this thing, where my drawings might still exist? A second question is, does the Gallery just gather all the image-type files and display them, no matter where they are?
Thanks in advance!

Gallery does display all images on your tablet unless they are in a hidden folder. If you have images you do not want to be seen in Gallery you can rename the folder they are in by placing a . in front of the folder name. This will make Gallery see the folder as hidden and not access it. However this may also cause some other problems. Example I have a bunch of epub books with cover images with them and I did not want to have all those images showing in Gallery (there are a lot of them) so I made the folder hidden and it worked for Gallery, but I read the books in Cool Reader and all the sudden Cool Reader could not find the books either. I worked around this by creating special folder for my book I am currently reading.
create a .nomedia file and place it in the folder. it'll keep some apps from scanning the folders.
I just got a gear S3 but am finding it pretty hard to transfer music to it. I have thousands of songs on my phone but they are organized in folders, for instance:
/reggae/*.mp3
/hardrock/*.mp3
etc. etc.
I also have a folder called /favorites that has my top songs - around 100 or so, this is the folder I want to copy to the watch. I can't seem to find a way to select only this folder. When I go into the Gear app I just see a list of thousands of songs grouped by Track/Album/Artist. I can't possibly scroll through the entire list and choose my top 100 songs that are in my favorites. Nor can I go through the time consuming process of searching each song manually.
The whole thing seems rather retarded. Now, I am thinking I need to create a new folder called /s3, then duplicate all my favorites into that folder, then add a "S3_" prefix to all the files there, then transfer those to my phone, choose all files with S3_ prefix, transfer them, then delete it off my phone so I don't have duplicates on my phone. There must be an easier way?
You only need to swype from right to left and you will find a folders list into your mobile phone.
Easy
thanks, that works. I can start playing on my phone first and then control it on my watch so this way I will not upload anything to my watch and use the source as my phone.
So, I am able to use the bezel as well as the arrows to control the previous/next song as well as play/pause the current track. However, it would be nice if I can navigate songs on my phone and choose a specific song by folder directly from my watch. Is there such an app?
Right now I am using Poweramp on my Pixel XL and the watch controls it without issues, I am assuming it just sends a generic play/pause/prev/next command via Bluetooth which any music app understands. I am assuming the ability to navigate a folder structure to a specific song needs to have compatible apps on the phone as well as the watch.
