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.

For lazy people i copy&paste market description here
Write down secret notes with Tostis Notes. Text is encrypted with AES algorithm and saved on your SD card to make backup easier. Every .tec file has its own alphanumeric password and is stored by default in /sdcard/TostisNotes/ directory.
Share unencrypted text inside your note with application like GMail, SMS, Twitter etc.
Send encrypted .TEC file as attachment in GMail or backup it with Dropbox.
Print to any printer with Google Cloud Print.

Sorry but i cannot post links.

Great to see but unfortunately I don't trust closed source. Having trouble finding a solution since WhisperSystems was bought by Twitter

Sorry for delay. What are your concerns about closed source in security application? Tostis Notes simply creates a binary AES encrypted file starting from your typed text. The key is your salted passphrase.
All other features like print or backup are written around this core feature.
Most of the permissions are required from advertising network but are not used if you buy the Pro version.
PS. You already sent me an email, right?

Fileseal currently supports Dropbox and Google Drive. We may add more depending on number of requests.

Just a quick update, someone just send us email asking why we need full network access, it is actually a good question, and we would like to clarify here as well.
Network access is used for synchronization of encrypted files with cloud storages, and for serving ads.
If upgraded to premium, as no ad would be served, the only network access would be for syncing files.
Nothing more than these.
More questions are welcomed, we would be adding these to our FAQ.

Our windows installer has been updated to 1.0.1. Fixed some issues user encountered during installation.

version 1.0.7 available
1.0.7
- fixed a bug which could cause crash on some device
- a more accurate check to see if selected folder is read only
1.0.6
- enhanced sync function
- more detailed error message if error occurs during password generate

great app!! thanks!!

1.0.8
- enhanced user interaction when opening files with no apps declared to view them

Hi,
I tried fileseal today because it seemed exactly like what I needed: Upload encrypted files to GDrive.
But it skips files bigger than 10mb and it apparently deleted the files that it uploaded. Or does it copy the files somewhere after they are encrypted.
-Is there an option to tell fileseal that all files, regardless of size should be encrypted and uploaded?
-Why where my files deleted or moved?
-I would like to still access the files with a normal file manager or photo app. Should I therefore have the files in two folders? One unsynced and unencrypted folder and one encrypted and synced folder?
Thanks!

I guess this project is dead?

[APP][4.0.3+] Turn your smartphone into cloud safe for your sensitive data

Guys! Welcome new Android tool that turns your smartphone into secure cloud safe
Please try it (it's free) and share your feedback in comments! Hope you'll enjoy it
Here is the link to Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudifilepro.
Cloudifile Pro – turn your smartphone into cloud safe for your personal data
Living in a world of hacking and personal data stealing, we understand that it’s extremely important to protect smartphone, as it has become the main unguarded storage for private notices, sensitive photos or videos, financial information, copies of IDs and other documents.
But how can we easily obtain proven smartphone protection?
Cloudifile Pro in tandem with Dropbox easily solves this problem for you.
Cloudifile Pro is an Android app that turns your smartphone into a secure cloud safe for your private data.
The only thing you should do is to share selected data with Cloudifile Pro or upload it directly, and our solution will care about the rest.
Cloudifile will encrypt your files with the best-industry-standard encryption algorithms and automatically send them to Dropbox. Once your already protected data is placed into your Dropbox account, it immediately disappears from its original location for security reasons. Now you can be sure that your data is safe: even if a stranger gets access to your device, he or she won’t be able to find any data there – it is securely stored in Dropbox datacenters while only you keep the key to it.
Staying logged in to Cloudifile Pro, you can easily work with your “cloudified” data: view it, share it with other apps, or download it locally to your smartphone. But as soon as you log out, nobody can access it anymore.
Cloudifile Pro for Android allows:
Uploading data directly
To upload file or folder to Cloudifile, navigate to the destination folder within your Cloudifile and tap Upload in the right bottom corner of the screen. Choose files or folders to be “cloudified”, and click the OK button. Selected data will be securely encrypted and uploaded to the Cloudifile folder you are currently browsing. Notice that decrypted copy of your data will be immediately deleted from its original location.
Uploading data from other apps
To share file to Cloudifile from the third-party app (e.g., the image viewer), click the Share button while viewing it in the app. Choose Cloudifile in the list of applications for sharing, and your data will be automatically encrypted and uploaded to the folder with the device name inside your Cloudifile folder. For security reasons, “cloudified” data will be immediately removed from the app cache.
Viewing data
You can easily view your “cloudified” data in the Cloudifile folder with your device name. Navigate across the folders by tapping the necessary folder. Tap the target file to open it in the default viewer.
Sharing to other apps
To share “cloudified” data to a third-party app, long press it and select Share via. After choosing the application, the file will be shared to it in decrypted format. For security reasons, after you finish working with this file, it will be encrypted again, sent to Dropbox, and deleted from the app cache.
Downloading
To save “cloudified” data to your device, long press the file or folder and select Download. Please note, that it will be a non-protected decrypted copy of data residing on your device.
Deleting
To delete the file or folder from Cloudifile, long press the file or folder and select Delete.
Cloudifile Pro is totally compatible with desktop version of Cloudifile (https://cloudifile.com/) for Windows and MacOS. Thus, you can install additional desktop tool to access your “cloudified” data from your workstation or laptop and seamlessly and securely sync any desktop folders with your cloud account.
Notice that Cloudifile Pro for Android is FREE for personal use.

Bug in EMUI 10 .186 firmware, and possibly other builds

In the gallery app there is an option to hide a folder, when a folder is hidden, you can still view it's contents via WhatsApp send media option, nothing should be able to access a hidden folder until you unhide it
