telling the phone where to put pics/vids - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so when I got this phone and I uploaded my pics/vids to it. it made several funny folder names in the gallery and randomly put all my pics/vids in them. so I deleted them and made 2 gallery folders, camera and vids. and put all my pictures and vids in the 2 folders.
Problem is. Now, whether I take a pic or vid from the phone, it puts it in my camera folder. How do I make it so the phone will put vids it in my vid folder automatically?

Camera Album Problem

i found that when i take a picture i can't save it in my pictures where the camera album reads.it saves only in my documents.
there are 2 options storage and main memory in storage everything is ok.
the problem comes when i want to save image in to my pictures.
i search the registry and everything seems fine.
anyone else c that?
camera album
go to camera save the pictures in card
when you take a photo press the magnifing glass icon the picture stays in camera album and is stored in the card
yes i did that but the next time you open the cube to c pictures they are not there..........
i found the solution.
rename in the main memory under my documents/my pictures the folder my pictures to something else like my pictures2
then after you open again the camera album will search for allo your photos and you can see them in.

Is that an industry standard folder? Last two phones and my digital camera uses that same folder.

[Q] gallery and camera lag

hi all,
just wondering whether some of you noticed the lag in loading the gallery?
or just after taking a picture, the newly taken picture takes a really long time to load?
i suspect its something to do with the usb read speed.
Same here. Sometimes it even needs a reboot until newly taken pics show up in the gallery. I just use the filebrowser to display pics.
I think the gallery never really worked fine i already had issues on my n1...
I've found that when Bluetooth is on, my Gallery lags badly. But it goes back to normal when Bluetooth is switched off.
The gallery app seems to try and discover all of the pictures on the phone...that's maybe what takes so long? The other day it discovered some album art- I don't want album art displayed in the gallery.
I have also noticed it takes a couple minutes to add a recently taken picture into the gallery. Weird.
same here gallery lag ...
any fixes for this yet?

You can exclude any folder on your sdcard from displaying pictures in the Gallery by adding a blank file named .nomedia into the folder. This tells the media scanner to skip that folder when indexing the sdcard. Two caveats to that: first is that it excludes sound files from the music player also, and it excludes all subfolders of the one with the .nomedia file in it.
The lag in having a pic you just took is also annoying. You could probably force a faster review by getting that app from the Market that forces a fresh run of the media scanner. Google must have built some delay into the stock scanner that keep it from constantly running to improve battery life or phone performance. The media scanner sucking up resources was a common complaint on the SGS i9000 forums for a while.
I'll bet you could write a Tasker profile that forced a fresh scan after any new pictures are taken. That might backfire in terms of performance though.

^ Truth.
And I've also experienced Gallery lag. It's really frustrating.

Camera and Photos issues

I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S7 running Nougat. The problem is that when I go into my gallery from my camera app photos appear from other folders that are in my sd card. How would I fix this issue. I just want photos that I took with my camera to show up.
You can go to the folder you want to hide in gallery and make a new file named .nomedia
Folder should now be excluded from mediascan and be invisible in gallery.

Google photos is not recognizing screenshots folder and uploads it on drive

Hello guys,
Today I got a strange error which I am pretty sure that worked yesterday and before. In my google photos app, I cannot see screenshots folder anymore, instead screenshots are in the Camera folder together with camera photos. I checked and both folders are in DCIM folder on a system, separated, one is "Camera" and one is "Screenshots" folder, but in the app, they are together in one "camera" folder.
In the gallery app, everything works fine, I just want to sync Camera album and not Camera+screenshots album on my drive.
Thanks
No one still?
