[Q] HTC Sense Photo Gallery Favorites - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello
for those of you running SENSE, if you noticed in the Photo gallery you can add photos to your favorites.
You then get a "my favorites" album.
Unfortunately, that favorite list is not stored on the sd card. because after reformating i lost my favorites
I've looked a bit where it saves that list, but I can't find it.
IF anyone could look into that, i'd be very gratefull to be able to backup that file !

favourite photos
Even more strange, I was able to add one or more photos to favourites, I had a favourites album then, and for some strange reason I do not have this, and I cannot add photos either...

HTC Album deleted all photos?

So i was taking some photos to associate with one of my contacts, took 3 photos, associated one of them to the contact, and saw that i needed to rotate one of them, so i went to HTC Album to rotate it, like i didn't need two of the photos, i begun to delete it, but when i deleted the first one the screen didn't fade out to the next photo (as it usually happens when i delete a photo), and after being black for a second or two, it said: "Jpeg not avalaible" or something like that. i touched the screen and chose to go back to the album, and puff, the majority of the photos (i couldn't find anything relating the deleted photos) were deleted... My HTC Album gets it's photos from My Documents and from DCIM folder in Storage Card, and i would say that around >100 photos and a lot of videos were erased (yes, videos doesn't appear in HTC Album, but it deleted them too), the strange thing it's that some photos and videos (really few) didn't get deleted... Another really strange thing it's that the photo that i associated with the contact still appears associated to it (in the Touchflow), but i can't find that photo? So the contact has a photo that doesn't exist? How it's that possible?
Or maybe the photos didn't get deleted and went to some "hidden" folder? I searched everywhere - temp folder and stuff, but nothing came up...
Yesterday i installed a fix from HTC site, because of a photo quality issue in the Cruise/Polaris...could it have something with it?
Any help?
TIA

Photoalbum and folders

Hi all you genius people
I would like to have all my products pictures for my business on my storage card and then access it from the photoalbum where you can scroll, maximise and so on with you fingers.
but when i make different folders for the pictures the photoalbum still shows all the pictures right away?
my question is: is it possible to edit the photoalbum so i can make sub folders to the pictures??
Thanx
Best regards Michael

Yes.
If you find out how to edit the photoalbum to show subfolders, do let me know too. I'm currently using S2V instead.

facebook apps issue or photo album display issue

Hi
i use Hd2 and got the microsoft facebook apps installed. i discovered that i now have many photo folder existed when i open the photos tab and then click "albums" and "albums" again.
i realize all photo folder show under the "My Device" tab is due to the photos downloaded due to my facebook apps. is there anyway we can hide the unnecessary folder shown at the photo apps?

I too have found out that the facebook app is copying the profile pic of each FB person in the recent news etc, and putting into my albums
Hiding folders in htc albums
from pocketnow.com
If somehow HTC Album on your device is displaying pictures or folders as Albums you'd prefer to hide from various reasons, this could be easily achieved with a Registry tweak that instructs HTC Album to ignore a specific folder.
You need to edit your registry by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored. This is the place where all the folders to be ignored and not displayed in the Album application are stored. Say you have a folder called Project you'd like to hide from the application then create a new string in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored and set its name to Project and its value to the path of your folder (i.e.: \Storage Card\Project). This will hide all subsequent folders as well so make sure to hide only the folder you want to keep from Album application. Add as many string values as you wish.
Note: Additionally, if you want to hide a specific picture, just set its attributes to hidden and it will not be shown in the Album application. Do that for all individual pictures you want to keep from the program.
i would have put a link but im not alowed.
think you need to hide \Temp or at least thats what took my facebook pictures off albums

thank you
THANK YOU prob1. my problem is solved.

An easy way to organize, sync and post all your fotos on a tablet?

Hi there,
I have the following scenario:
After taking pictures with my DSLR I want to plug in the SD-Card in my Asus TF101. Now I want to look at the pictures, organize the into different albums and automatically upload those albums to Dropbox. Additionally I want those albums to be created in Facebook.
I haven't found a way to do all of that in a usable way, especially with a UI for tablets.
Most Apps just take existing folders, but I haven't found one where you can just say "Take this, this and that picture, create a new album and name it like that".
Each album would be a folder containing the pictures. Afterwards I thought of letting the App "Folder Sync" do it's work, so that everything is in my Dropbox.
From there on I wanted ifttt or Wappawolf to create a album in Facebook named after the folder. But right now I can only tell them to create 1 Album and post all of my synced pictures there...
I would be very glad if you guys could help me out. I would prefer it if the cloud-service would be Dropbox, since I got 50GB, but if you got different proposals I am open too
Thanks a lot,
Rabenvogel

Stock gallery

This tablet is awesome, however the stock gallery app seems to be useless or am I missing something? I bought tablet because of the stylus and photo editing possibilities. I copied my photos from my pc on a micro sd card and inserted it into the note. However the gallery app does not seem to sort the resulting folders in any order, just a random mishmash of dates and names, I'd rather use the stock gallery due to the multi screen support however it is a real chore to find a folder / photo when it's presented randomly....does anyone know how to make the folders sort and appear alphabetically? Or even how the gallery app sorts the folders that photos are in?

That's easy:
Arrange photos in Folders (= Albums) and You have them sorted in Albums. (Which by themselves can be sorted by time, location etc .)
Once You are IN an Album You can sort them by tTime, location, persons or groups

I'm missing something with the gallery, too. I have my photos in folders, and when I have albums selected from the upper-left menu, I see a bunch of randomly sorted "albums." If I choose something else from that menu... say, time, for instance, each item on the screen (each thumbnail) is a group of photos from a specific day. I'd like the folders to be sorted in such a way that makes sense. Ideally, I'd like to sort them by name, as my folders are named with year and month (yyyy_mm). And I'd also like to not see every folder on that main screen, because some of them are inside the yyyy_mm folders. Ideally, I would only see a bunch of thumbnails named yyyy_mm, in chronological order... the way they appear in my folder structure on my PC.
Is this possible?
What I've found out about the stock gallery..........
Firstly there seems to be a limitation on android that it whilst it knows folders are nested, it will not support displaying only the parent folder, rather it displays all the orphan folders, I've tried lots of photo organising apps and they all have this limitation....this is a right pain if you want to sort your folders in logical way without every single folder displayed on the root display
In the stock gallery app the display options are based on..
Place, uses GPS data on the photo
Album, the folder names that your pictures are stored in on the device
People, face tagging which you have to enable on the device and then assign names from your contact directory.
groups, will display face tagged photos in the group's that are set up in your contact directory.
The limitation of face tagging is that you can't just enter a name for a face, it will only use your contacts directory so you have to enter a load of names in your directory to use for this feature, I suggest you make a group for these entries.
The main problem with the stock gallery is that once you have your photos in the gallery displayed in one of the ways detailed above you can not sort them, hide folders or enter manual information such as a location on places.
For my purposes I just want the folders to be displayed as I have them saves in my sd card, I have a parent folder for each year since 2000 within each oh these folders are a series of further folders for each set of pictures such as holiday, wedding etc. I just want my parent folders displayed in the gallery root, sorted by date. This doesn't seem possible as the stock gallery has no sorting options, my albums are displayed with no logic just, it seems, randomly.
I use the excellent quickpic app, which has loads is display and sorting options but has the "can't display only the parents of nested directorys" feature of android.

Wow, that seems like a pretty silly limitation. I would think a lot of people would want to be able to sort the way you described. I organize my photos almost exactly the same way, except that I have a folder for each month. But then, like you, I have subfolders that describe an event. I, too, just want to see the top level. I hope, at some point, someone comes up with an app that does that. In the meantime, I'll try QuickPic, as it seems to have more sorting options and, hopefully, I can at least sort the "albums" in a way that doesn't seem competely random.
Thanks!
