Hi All,
The gallery doesn't show all photo's which i've made...just a few photo's ( 30 ).
When i am mannually searching in the DCIM folder using a file manager, i see 74 photo's....
My S6 isn't rooted or something like that.
Anyone else who has this problem?
Cheers,

Confirmed. Gallery shows 96 photos and there are 105 in the DCIM folder. That's odd and not cool.

i've been having the same issue since day one. tried wiping data and cache from both "media storage" and "gallery" and then rescaning everything with media scanner app but it didn't work. hope someone will find a fix for this. i'm using quickpic for now.
Haven't done anything to test this. But have you checked to see if any of the photos in the gallery are burst shots? Gallery groups them as a single shot. I'm assuming DCIM folder shows them all individually. Just a thought and I could be totally wrong.

Good call. Tested. That is exactly what is happening with mine. I didn't even realize burst was enabled - I must have shot some bursts without realizing it.

Hi, None of them are burst shots...
But when i am using quickpic, i am able to see all the photo's. Even the photo's like whatsapp images's/downloaded photo's.
It's just with the gallery that i'm not able to see all photo's, just a few photo's....I have sorted the photo's as "time". When i'm sorting the photo's as "album" it is the same ( not able to see all of the photo's).... really strange.
Out of curiosity, if you use the Google "Photos" app, do you see all of them?

You enable burst by just holding the shutter button, there is no burst function in the menu. Thats why a lot of people take burst shots without even knowing.

when i am using google photo's it's the same! I only see a couple of picture's... (The same pictures)
helloooooo! !!
I fixed the problem! !!
first, plug it into a computer, and manually erase the .nomedia file.
second, go to app manager, clear cache/data from Gallery, and force stop it.
now, open the app again, and you must be able to see all pics and videos again
I had to reset my phone. I then reloaded the camera photos I had taken before into dcim/camera. When I look in the gallery there are no thumbnails of these photos.
How can I get the phone to recreate the thumbnails?
Thanks.

Probably just takes some time to generate them, if it's a TON of photos.

You could try this Settings > Applications > Application Manager> All. Look for Media Storage and go into and hit Clear Data. It should rebuild the database, you may have to restart to trigger the database rebuild.
The Gallery not refreshing seems to be a common problem across devices and Android versions, to some extent. I assume this is more Android version related that device specific.
My situation: I am on a Samsung Note 4 with ~stock (MODestRom X), Android 6.0.1. The Gallery app (and Snap Gallery) would only show me a few folders and pictures from within my <SDcard>/DCIM/<many folders including Camera>. New pictures would go into the Camera folder and show up in the Gallery, but existing pictures in the Camera folder, and most all the other folders, would not show up. I find no new posts on this issue in the last year or so.
The fix that worked for me: On the SD card, rename DCIM to DCIM1. At that point, DCIM1 started to get indexed properly. I renamed it back to DCIM so that new camera shots would go into their proper default home (<SDcard>/DCIM/Camera) and I didn't end up with a parallel Camera folder.
Other stuff I tied that DID NOT HELP:
Reboot
Applications Manager > Gallery > Clear cache and data
I found a .nomedia file at the top of the SD card. Deleting it did not help. No .nomedia files within the DCIM tree.
Hooked it up to my computer and synched in a new .mp3 file, hoping this would trigger a media scan. No help.
Looked for media scanner apps in the App store. Did not try, but most reviews said Fail, and none I found specified what Android versions they were said to work on.
Waited a few days.
Swore.
Googled XDA and found almost no recent postings, so I responded to this one.
I did NOT try moving the pictures off and back onto the SD card.
May this post help someone else!
Hello
I notices that when i open an image in the Album app , it takes about 15 seconds to be processed and viewed with the full quality...
Do you guys having the same problem?

deleting album cache and thumbnail would be the possible solution. let xperia rebuilt thumbnail data file again.
also if these photos are 23Mp and stored in sdcard of lower class, album will take time to read/process data each time when you access image.

i tried to do , but didn't fix the problem.
yes it might need some time to read and process , but the image size is about 7 mega byte , it shouldn't need 15 seconds to read! so i think that the Album app need some optimization.
I love taking portrait photos on Google Camera app. But non-Pixel users like me can only use the modded version of Google Camera and one major annoyance is that it takes portrait photos only in burst mode. You then need to open gallery, find the sub-folder which it created for burst mode, copy the portrait image and delete the rest. And you have to do this every time you take a portrait photo.
With GCam Tool, all this happens in the background. After you take a photo with Google Camera, you will find it in your camera roll when you open Gallery. You can:
Choose source and destination folders
Move portrait or regular or both photos
Delete sub-folders created by Google Camera every time
By default the app copies photos to your photo gallery. If you buy the $1 upgrade, it also deletes the files and sub-folders (thereby actually moving the photos instead of copying).
Your upgrade will help an indie developer like me survive. Please spread the word and let me know your thoughts.

I will this app could move photos from the default internal storage folder used by gcam to a folder in the external SD card!
@Apptuners
really good app, does exactly what it promises. As this was something I was looking for since quite some time now, I purchased the Pro version. Keep up the good work :good:
Thank you very much for the support, Portgas D. Ace.
I just pushed an update (1.02) that adds manual batch moving feature. If you don't want the app to monitor in the background, you could just open the app once in a while, click the Batch Move option and move all files in one go to the chosen target folder.
if the possibility also to port folders with DNG(RAW) format?, because GCam also creates a separate folder

This is what i was looking for from many days... thankyou so much..it works great
Hi Dev. Great work! I've been looking for that for a long time. Any chance this will work with regular (non portrait) photos? It will be great to be able to automatically move photos to sd card... A suggestion: is it doable to have an option to rename the file to whatever pattern you want before moving it? This way it could match other photos names in the gallery. Thanks again for the very useful app!
Good and helpful app and I would like to support your work.
But how do I buy the pro version?
Clicking on "upgrade" button brings up a window and then clicking on "Upgrade to pro" does nothing..?
Great app! But every reboot I'm getting a notification. Tapping on it just opens the app and then when I open the settings and back out the notification goes away. Any ideas why?
I think I'm doing something wrong because this app isn't working for me. I have the photo storage paths set, and have the option checked for it to delete sub folders. But none of the photos ever move and they stay in the burst folders.
Sorry to be that guy, but could you provide a step by step for me, or point out some kikind of error I may be making?
Thanks for your hard work. This app will be fantastic once I get it working because those burst folders drive me nuts.
Edit: maybe I'm misunderstanding part of what this app does. I went into my gallery app and the photos are all there and not in any sub folders, but when I go to my pictures through the google camera app they are still in the burst folders.
I have some issue with moving non-portrait photo into another folder. As soon as the non-portrait photo is moved. The original portrait photo is gone. I no longer see it from my camera folder and cannot see it from Google Photo.
Even worse, I did the batch moving and now all my portrait photos are gone. Is this the right behavior?
same thing with the restarts , nokia 7 plus here
Are you aware your app is no more on the store? It was the life and I even bought the pro version :c

How do you manage to copy the portrait only photo to DCIM/Camera. delete the original folder and (non portrait) photo and still have google photos backup the moved photo normally?
When I do this manually with a script, google photos doesn't beackup the portrait photo and it still shows a burst of two photos, the portrait and the non portrait, with this one showing only a grey thumbnail, and it never back ups.
Can you shed some light? Do you change anything in the EXIF of the moved portrait photo?

No I don't modify EXIF for "photo move" feature. EXIF is modified only when selfie flipping is prevented.
As for how GCam Tool manages to do it, I believe it is all about speed. If the photos and subfolders stay long enough in the source folder, Google Photos will back up it. I don't know how fast your script is, but when you take a photo with Google Camera, GCam Tool instantly jumps into action, moves the required files and deletes the unwanted ones (and sub-folders). It all happens in like 3-4 seconds and sometimes more depending on how long it takes on your phone for Google Camera to do the HDR+ processing and save the files.
Also once the move is done, GCam Tool rebuilds the thumbnail gallery and runs MediaScanner as well to notify the system regarding file move, which could be another reason. And most people have DCIM/Camera as their target folder, which is already being monitored by Google Photos. So as soon as GCam Tool moves the files into DCIM/Camera, Google Photos backups it.

Hello,
Recently upgraded to S22 Ultra from S22 and have nothing but issues.
Discovered that there were multiple "camera roll" "screenshoot" "dcim" etc.. folders at first I thought it was just folders from older phones but it wasn't. There were photos from 1 day spread throughout all the "camera roll" folders so I combined them. That somehow filled up my storage and has caused duplicates and caused issues with the apps that create their own folders.
So I can undo what I've done and hopefully fix the problem now and for future upgrades, could you please tell me where all the various photo folders should be saved? When I combined the duplicate folders I then moved them all under Samsung Gallery.
Hope that makes sense.
Most items are natively stored in the 'DCIM' folder (e.g., screenshots, or pictures/videos that you took ON the device).
However different applications often use their own folders in which to store media. Some 'may' provide you the option to remap the path to a folder of your choice.
However, if you want to see where a picture is stored by folder name, open 'Gallery' and go to 'Albums'.

Hi, the folders with similar names have been created by the device I'm not referring to any albums within Samsung Gallery I've created. The issue is with what this device is doing, I first located them in Samsung Files on the device and also in OneDrive via the website not the OneDrive app.
There are multiple dcim folders, multiple folders labelled camera, camera roll etc.. at first I thought they were folders from previous devices, but when you take say 20 photos in a day they are spread throughout these various camera roll folders not just in one.
Hi, I only see one DCIM folder in my S22 Ultra. Are you saying that you have multiple folders with the same name? How many of them? Are you using multiple photo applications, like the GCam ported application and the stock one, and others? Are you in stock android? Rooted?

That is not normal behavior. The way the S22 Ultra handles images taken by both the default Camera and Expert RAW apps is the same as the S22+ and S22. It creates only one DCIM folder with Camera, Expert RAW, and Screenshot subfolders. Apps like Facebook, Video Editor, AR Emoji camera will also build their own subfolders within DCIM. Google Messages, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Office Lense, put their respective folders in the Pictures folder which is at the same level as DCIM.
Try resetting the camera app settings.
Camera - > Settings->Reset settings (3rd from the bottom).
If that doesn't work backup all of your important files (documents, photos, videos, etc.) to your computer and factory reset it. Don't restore from a backup. Once you have confirmed that it is working properly, you copy your files back. When reinstalling apps pay attention to the behavior after each installation. There is still the possibility of a third party app may be the cause.
Yes, I know that it's tedious, but it will either fix it, or help you identify what is causing the problem.

Hi, yes so more than one Dcim, more than one camera roll etc.. at first I thought they were from my previous devices but when I take photos, one days worth of photos is spread across the say camera roll folders which just makes it more confusing to workout how to fix.
Nothing out of the ordinary, everything's stock standard that automatically is on the device. I've had nothing but trouble since upgrading so many other issues but would like to sort this one if I can.

Hi, I've had to factory reset over 30 times as I have so many issues, not just this photo folder issue. When I first got the device and setting it up as per usual encountered errors.
Did a factory reset via the settings and when the phone was turned back on it wasn't completely reset, tried again and a few more things were reset but again not all.
Had to do a black screen reset (sorry dont know what thats called) and that helped a lot more but it was still not a completly reset device.
I've tried not signing into anything and setting up as a new user, didn't solve anything, I've signed in as you go and that hasn't worked either. I've installed all apps manually, not from backup, and still have issues (I only have like 20 apps most are just standard or the bank). I've had an authorised technician remove and reinstall the software, and that didn't solve anything. They were stumped as they can replicate all of my issues but weren't able to fix them.
I've been battling with this since I got it and have had to make do but it's basically an expensive piece of plastic/glass at this point.
I haven't tried specifically what you've suggested about the camera, so I will give that a go.

If a factory reset is not working, it sounds like the recovery partition is corrupted. Have you attempted a factory reset using the power on, volume up method?
1. Completely power the phone off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume up buttons until you see the Samsung logo. This will put you into Recovery mode.
3. Using the volume down button, scroll down to select Wipe data/factory reset and press the power button.
4. Select yes to confirm your choice.
It will may ask you for your Google account password. If it does, enter it. It should then run you through the reset process. The difference with using this method instead of doing from settings, is that it should download a fresh image.
Hi,
Apologies for the delay. I did a hard reset last night and still had so much trouble, there is definitely something off with this phone.
However it didn't reset the photo folders.
It currently looks like this Onedrive: Files: Pictures: Samsung Gallery: all folders created by the device, by apps, by me.
I had moved all folders into Samsung Gallery as I didn't understand why some folders where in "Pictures" and some were in "Samsung Gallery" as that's were the duplicate DCIM, Camera roll etc.. were.
Do you happen to know the correct file path for:
- folders created by the device
- folders created by apps that use Photos
- folders created by me
Then I will manually go into OneDrive on my Laptop and move them around, hopefully that will solve the problem.
Thank you,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your phone.
Have you enabled Sync between OneDrive and Samsung Gallery?
If so, turn it OFF.
There is only one DCIM folder in a phone, and the Camera folder is inside of it. On Samsung phones, even the Screenshot folder is inside DCIM by default, but you have the choice of changing its location.
Hi, there is actually a lot wrong with the phone not just this. Which has all been proven by an authorised Samsung technician who has been able to replicate bit not fix any of the issues, unfortunately it's been like this since day one and I'm not getting very far with Samsung so I am trying to fix what I can so it's more usable than an expensive piece of plastic/glass.
But thank you for being so polite and helpful, it makes joining a forum and asking for help so much less daunting.

Some apps do put folders in the Pictures folder.
Just to be clear. When you open My Files and go to the Internal storage, how many DCIM folders are there? There should only be one. If there is, then your phone is working as designed. You cannot have two folders with the same name on the same level. No OS that I know of does allows that.
If you are seeing more than one DCIM folder in OneDrive, then something happened with the syncing. Are you syncing any other devices (tablets or phones) with OneDrive?
