does anyone know a registry tweak or hack to open pictures & videos directly to the /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures directory? i hate that everytime i open pictures and videos it opens at the default /My Documents/My Pictures directory. all my pictures are stored in the storage card and i would really like to know if there is a hack to do this. thanks for any help.
Been covered a few times - sorry no hack for this, it appears to be hard coded into the software. Try different software as i find the above one slow and plain rubbish. I use Xnview pocket (free) much faster and can set the default directory to anything you like.

Hello!
Does someone know how to manage pictures in the photo album, like rearrange pictures into folders?
I try to put folder in the My images folder, hoping they would appear into the photo album, but it won't. I would like to show someone, for exemple, only a couple of pictures, using this fabulous photo album finger friendly, but all my pictures appears...
Advices appreciate

Yep Same here.. moved all my pictures all in nice subfolders to the My Images folder.. but indeed.. the all appear without any folder structure.
Starting up takes a while now and finding the pictures is very hard.
Too bad.. i'm moving back to the old picture viewer.
Beeing possible to navigate through subfolders would be very helpfull.
Anyone know a 'hack' for this?
i'd like a hack for this as well, i synced my picture collection of over 300 images to my touch dual and i have to scan through all 300. would be nice to see folders
same prob here. i had to use tcpmp finally. what a pity for not able to use the touchflo features.
HTC photo album can only read from MyPictures folder in device and
DCIM folder in the storage (using digital camera format)
Thats not so I use it to view pictures from MY PICTURES on my SD card as I use the MY PICTURES on the phone for something else. May I offer a suggestion to the people wanting to use folders,why not just keep the individual folders outside of MY PICTURES till you want to look at it and than import that particular folder? That way theres nothing else but the pictures you want to show............HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
@sneakyp86
what do you mean by "import that particular folder"? a feature of HTCAlbum or just file movement? thanks
start --> programs --> pictures and videos
it's the only way i know if i wanna show some pictures inside a folder, sadly we cant configure it in touch cube
This is really bugging me- I take photos and they dont show up in the HTC camera album.
Ive got set to save all images to Storage Card2 \DCIM\
but it wont automatically scan the card for photos.
Any ideas?
also i dont ever remember seeing my storage card called storage card2 before.
some program tried to acess it when it wasnt available and thats how it was created.
You need to delete it.

Also, you can choose to save you pictures in /storage card/my documents/my pictures thats how he works better.
Resolved
Thanks twolf,
there was a folder called storagecard in the root, deleted it and problem fixed.
Hi everyone,
My name is Carlos and i'm from Barcelona, and this is my first post here.
I have a HTC Diamond, and i would like to know if there is a way to ignore folders into the HTC Album, because i'm very tired of browsing on dumb folders when i want to see my real photos.
I've read in other threads about putting folders the "Ignore" entry in the registry, but it seems it doesn't works... or maybe i do not know how to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404948
Is there a way to get rid of these folders that i do not want to see? Is there a new version of the HTC album with some kind of folder selector? Or any other third part software to do this?
I'm really desperate on this, because i love the HTC Album, but is really annoying to browse so long to find my photos amongst that crap...
Many thanks!
you can always select the folder you want to browse by clicking "album" (left softkey in htc album) and then select the good folder
Set the "hidden" file attribute on all jpegs in folders you want to ignore.
does the photo viewer pick every single jpeg on the phone by default or does it only show pictures from certain folders - i.e my pictures folder (wether internal storage or located elsewhere).
I got a load of photographs I dont want anyone to see (wink wink nudge nudge) just by picking up my phone and selecting photos.
Ive got to many to mark each one as hidden.
I remember I managed it to work before last hard reset, but now I forget how I did that... I'll look into it and let you guys know if if find anything out
That's just the problem, the album picks EVERY single jpg in the phone, and there's no option to avoid it.
Now I have about 200 folders when i click on Album list, so the album is not useful anymore, i do no not want to waste 3 minutes to browse down in the album list to find that pictures that i'm loking for...
The "hidden" option it doesn't works... too much folders to hide anyway...
The hidden option works absolutely fine on my Diamond. It's the files that have to be hidden not the folders.
if the photos are in internal storage, connect the Diamond to a pc as a USB drive and do a search for all jpeg files from the pc . Select all the search results (or just the ones that need hiding) and right-click to adjust all the properties at the same time.

WOOOOOW !!
Davey101, that was a pretty brilliant idea!!
I thought I should hide folders, not individual files. I follow your instructions to hide all the undesired jpg files. I've seen other folders in the Album with bmp, png ad gif files, and they were also hidden.
Maybe is not the best way to definitely solve this matter, but it seems there is no other one for the moment, and the result is that now i've just have what i want in the Album list. Cool
Many thanks for your help!
Folder Seleting
Also,Dont know if you already know but every photo album folder listed from the album button has the setting to select it has your favourite.Your favourite album will then be accessed from the "photos and videos link from tf3d.Saves searching through lots of folders!
Hi ALL

There's a registry entry that declares a folder which is not scanned by Audio Manager. It is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\C onfig:ring_tone_path
By default it would be "\My Documents\My ringtones\" (don't know for sure, I'm on a dutch ROM atm). You can change this to another location if you like, but I it won't take a location on your storagecard, unfortunately. It means you will have to keep ring-tones in the device memory. For me this is no problem because I only carry a few dozen tones with me.
thx for reply.i have done this by using Resco Explorer.all the folders that contains ringtones and files i do not want to show up in music tab i simply set as hiden.that did the trick for me.manila will no longer pick them up.

Thanks for this, this has helped improve matters somewhat, but I still have a folder full of audio books (very large, so needs to be on storage card) that still show up and I would rather they didn't. Any one know of a way of hiding these from Audio Manager?
I'm having trouble understanding how to get videos, photos and music on the device. I am using an iMac and Double twist is sucking.
Can't you plug it up as a mass storage device and transfer stuff that way? I don't have a Mac so I can't comment on doubletwist.
Well yes I can use it that way but the photos and videos don't show up in that section I have to go to file manager and launch them from there. The music is actually showing up though. So not sure what the issue is.
make sure you are putting the pictures in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures.
also, if you want to keep the pictures in a "non-standard" folder, you can start the album and press the Left Softkey named "Albums" and pick your custom folder album from the list. once the album opens, press the Right Softkey named "Menu" and "Set Album as Favorite". after that step, this album will be displayed on the Photos and Videos tab of Sense on the Home Screen.
Should music and photos be name My Music and My Photos?
please read my post again. i have specifically mentioned the preferred naming convention for photos, i.e. \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures.
for music, i have noticed that the HTC audio manager is not so picky. it is quite lenient...i keep my music in \Storage Card\My Documents\Music, but the convention is \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music. however, your observations agree with mine, because you are also stating that your music is showing up just fine. so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
go ahead and follow my directions for the photos and videos and you'll be fine.
HOWEVER, if you want pictures and videos subsequently captured on your HD2 to fall into the same album, then things get a little tricky. to achieve this, you have TWO options:
1. stick with \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures (for pictures) and \Storage Card\My Documents\My Videos (for videos) and use a tool called "Schap's Advanced Config" to set the save folder for the camera to these same folders.
2. if you don't want to touch the camera's output folders, then use \Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA as the folder for your existing pictures and videos.
i prefer option 1 because the folder names remain descriptive and you can separate the videos from the pictures and thereby keep things a bit more organized.
Not to sound dumb but I downloaded the config tool but no idea how to get it running on my phone...
Ah I got it, nm.
However HTC's Picture/Video section is not pulling either from \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures or \Storage Card\My Documents\My Videos even those I assigned them using Schap's.
Upping for help, hehe.
Download Syncmate here: http://www.sync-mac.com/syncmate.html . But you can still drag-and-drop if you want to.
did you follow the steps in bold from my earlier post (see the quote below in this post)?
if you follow these steps, HTC Sense will set the chosen album so that it can be browsed directly from the relevant tab in the home screen.

This seems more a hack not a fix, there's no easy way to get this working?
And movies just don't show up at all.

lol! a hack would be something involving jumping through unnatural hoops such as editing the registry (which you were fine with via schap's advanced config) or editing configuration files and what not!
this is no hack my friend, it is a functionality directly accessible from a menu within the album application. it means that HTC designed it so that the device begins with a default folder that you can change to a custom album folder as you please. once your chosen folder is set, its video and picture contents will show up in the relevant tab in Sense.
it really is easier than it sounds, just try it, it takes 20 seconds to do it (i know because i do it every time after flashing any ROM) and then it is all set until the next hard reset or the next time i flash a new ROM.
no hack sir! just the way things are!
