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
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!
I sync my folders to a server nightly but over time the flat structure of the DCIM folder makes it hard to open and quickly find photos for a specific time.
So are there any techniques I can use to schedule moving and organizing of photos into shoot date folders eg I'd to save into folders based in a template ie [yyyy/mm-mmm] eg 2013/12-Dec, 2014/01-Jan ... 2014/02-Feb etc.. or just by Year and shoot date eg [yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd]
so if there isn't any off-the-shelf app, is there a API that triggers after photo taken so I can build a Android Service to scan and organise photos?
Is it possible to have the camera app automatically create new folder/album for every day and name it based on date created.
So when first photo in day is take new album is created and photos taken that day are organized in that folder/album, and next day new folder is created.
I know photos are sorted based on time taken and can easily create new albums in gallery app, but this would speed things and make photos more organized.
Looking for some help in finding a gallery app.
Basically I have a large set of images (currently between 3000 - 4000) that I like to browse through. They are all grouped together in a favorites album, and I usually don't bother tagging the individual images. The problem is, unless I keep the app suspended in the background with the last image I was looking at on the screen, the minute I close the app I loose my place and have to try to refind where I was all over again if I want to browse them without starting from the beginning (these aren't grouped by date, and all the names don't follow any unified format). I'd like to have a way to bookmark an individual image so that I can go right back to where I was in the viewing order, and continue on from there.
The closest I've found so far is F-stop, but the app doesn't allow bookmarking of individual images, only by folder, rating, etc., which isn't what I'm looking for.
Anyone know of any such gallery app/image viewer that would have what I'm looking for?
