how to change camera folder?

Evertime I take a picture, my magician always save the picture to
My Document/xxxxx <----- xxxxxx is some kind of strings.
If I would like to specified the destination folder to
My Document/My Picture
What should I do?

Hello,
I can change the destination using this menu:
Camera -> Picture -> and then "Save in ..."
but like you I would like to put all the image in one folder and not multiple folder like "200050101" etc..

could'nt find it
Thank you for your answer.
BTW I couldn't find the menu that you said.
When I go to Camera, there is no "picture" menu.

- Start camera
- Tap on Tools icon right bottom corner. second from right
- select menu : Toolsoptions
- Select "save to" device as you want.
- also consider changing separately for image and video. they are different
AS

I didn't see it
There are only 2 options for me
-Save to Storge Card
-Save to Main Memory
Yours is different?

do a registry hack
you only have the option to change wether to store your pics on main memory or storage.
Edit your registry settings under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image\SaveFolder" for pics and "HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Video\SaveFolder" for vids and set the String value to "\[FolderName]".
This will create a folder under your MyDocuments folder where the pics will be saved.
But note also that under that folder it will still create the "xxxxx" folder your talking about. Annoying isn't it? :x

I have a XDA2i and have the same problem of every time a photo is taken it creats a directory for that days pictures.
so could i also use that reg hack to at leat get all the folders it creats to go to one directory i.e i create a folder called XDApics and put it under my Documents.
I understand that in that new folder will be lots of daily created folders but it will clean up the my documents folder tho
JOhn

previous version
It's so wierd !!!
If I remember correctly while I was using XDA II, I can put my picture anywhere I want not in sub folder like this.
Why the previous version is better than the lastest one ?

I think it should also work on your xdaIIi. Also, you dont have to manually create a folder under your MyDocuments. Once you already set it on your registry, the folder will be automatically created after taking pics or vids.
And yes I'm using this trick to at least clean up my docs folder :wink:

it's not great we can't choose the directory..
I save my pics on my SD card and it create "My documents" directory on my SD Card.. boring......

I cannot find the Storage Card option
Hi there,
I'm using i-Mate JAMin, win mobile 5 and the only available options here are Main Memory and Network. In other words I cannot change to save the photos and videos to the SD card. Please, help!
P.S.: I also tried setting a new path within the registry settings, changed the path to '\Storage Card\My Photos\' with no luck - it creates the directories under the 'My Documents' in the main memory. It's a big pain in the ass b/c I don't have enough space to make lots of photos or clips.

Camera Pics Location on 2i

I've looked on the registry and tried fiddling but resulted in a) a crash that required a soft reset and b) message saying couldn't save the file when i changed the picture location to \my documents\my pictures.
Whenever I save a picture on the 2i it saves it into a folder in MD with the date as the folder name, with the picture stored in it. Any way to change this?

Did you manage to get a solution to this - I'm looking for exactly the same answer. There is a possible reg key, but changing that caused problems.

Also for me.
I've a Qtek 2020i from few days and I would like to know store all the photos in one folder.
At the moment I set the path of saved photos (SD card) but I want to have all the photos in one foolder instead of multiple photos in multiple folders. :?
Bye !

Still no work around for this ?

No news for me

I never did get an answer no, and I've given up looking for one myself.

I was thinking of creating a small apllication that you could run to move the pictures/movies from the numeric folders to a default folder such as My Pictures, im reading up on how it could be achieved at the moment.

On my xda 2, I made a directory on storage card, and they are all in that folder. What happens with yours? You can prefix it with anything you like, I call mine pic and it increments pic_001 etc. The settings are under camera, then click the spanner/screwdriver, then click tools, then click options. I changed the prefix to string and defined the string in the next box down under prefix string, the folder is changed under folder by clicking change.

For some reason the "Folder" option is missing on the XDA 2i so even though you can select the location (Main memory or storage card) it still saves it in \My Documents\xxxxxxxxxx <--- the x's refer to the date ie
05071800001 , 05(year)07(Month)18(Day) the rest is the folder number i think ? 00001 ?
Why they never used the same configuration as the other phones is beyond me but nevermind !

Trouble changing the path to the SD
Hi there,

P.S.: I also tried setting a new path within the registry settings, changed the path to '\Storage Card\My Photos\' with no luck - it creates the directories under the 'My Documents' in the main memory. It's a big pain in the ass b/c I don't have enough space to make lots of photos or clips.

Saving camera's pictures on specific path...

Hi guys!
I configured the camera of my Jam to save the pistures and videos on my SD...
I create My Documents folder on the root of my SD and the camera save the files creating new folder under /Storage Card/My Documents/
That's pretty good but I'd like to configure the camera to put my pictures inside /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures/
Is it possible? How can I do it?

Good luck, I've been searching for this answer for some time, please, please if you find out let me know.

Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".

[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit]

Any way to store in storage, not storage card? I mean the internal ROM.

Thanks Fossalta!
Works great...

There's actually a way to do this (to get rid of the dated folders). The latest T-Mobile WWE ROM 1.12.152 has a latest version 2.70 (Build 20117) Camera for PocketPC app by HTC in its Ext_ROM. This app lets you save pictures and videos to any type of memory on your device (Main, Storage, Storage Card) and DOES NOT create dated folders. It saves pictures directly in \...\My Documents\My Pictures.
Oh, and another thing... It also automatically flips display right (landscape mode, camera button on top) when you activate camera. After exit, it automatically reverts to a portrait mode.
Enjoy!!! :lol:

Hi guys!
I'm trying with the tip of registry entry but it doesn't works for me:
I open the given registry path and I chenge the SaveFolder entry from empty to this string: "Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures".
I close the reg editor and start the camera.... I made a test picture but it doesn't save the file with msg: "Unable to save the captured image 36001:500:0".
I open the reg edit and I see that in the SaveTo DWORD is present the value 0... I change it in 1 but seems to doesn't save the value! If I open back the reg editor the value is still 0.
Any idea?

no need to do the reg edit, i've been using that camera patch that guy just uploaded for some time now and it works perfectly. just go under options and set the save path to storage card and it automaticly puts in it storage card/my documents/my pictures also it puts teh camera sideways on the screen so its more comfortable to take pics

Thanks! I'll try it! :wink:
I don'd understand very well what is this cab and what is the extended rom... I just open a new topic for extended rom...

Just download the .cab file to your device and run it. It will install automaically. :wink:

Just installed that T-Mobile patch to my Qtek S100 (1.12) and it works superbly. It had been annoying me for a while that it made the dated folder each time you took a picture.
Now to solve my MMS issues and I'll be totally happy.

S.O.S.!!!!
I just install the cab and my Jam is not working fine now....
The today screen is a mix of other applications screen!!!!
Seems to don't pain well the today screen!
If I lounch the camera I see the some settings of the old configuration... I can select wich memory but not the specific folder...
I made soft reset but the problem of the today screen persist.... How can I make a rollback and/or unistall the given CAB?
Please! Help me! I don't want to make hard reset!!!!

Any idea how to save them to the internal ROM, the "storage"???

Hi all again,
Again I thought i would sure the CAB work I'm doing for my Mini.
The second CAB file will install the new Camera app (thanks to "heretic") into the Storage area and not into the RAM (Save smoe space). This will allow you to save the pictures straight into "My Picture" without that extra folder in either Main memory, SD Card or Storage.
I have also added the short cuts needed to replace the original camera app from within the Magician so they point to the camera app installed in Storage.
I have uploaded 2 versions, 1 with the camera app only and the other with the new Album app that comes with the above CAB file from "heretic".
The only issue which i can't iron out is that with the second CAB file (Camera only) if you click on the "Album" icon from within the camera app its comes up with an error (Its looking for the Album app in the same directory as the camera app in Storage). So if you use the internal Album app standard with the Magician then download the first CAB file.
The 1st CAB file will also install the new Camera & Album app into Storage so the error from above goes. I haven't gone through the registry to associate the image files to open with the new version yet but all the shortcuts will point to the new version.
I personal don't use the Album app so i only installed the 2nd CAB file.
Both of these CAB's have the "Snow" fix that i posted before.

Is it possible to get an answer to a simple question, goddammit. How can I set the saving location to the internal ROM (called storage on my device)??? Regedit it, install a tool - whatever, any way to do that?

Start the Camera
Go to the spanner icon in the corner
Go to "Tools">"Options"
you will see a "Save To"
Select Main Memory (this will save in the device)
Select Storage Card (as it says)
The only way to save to the Storage is to install the apps above, the camera program gives you the storage option

Thank you! I thought maybe you can regedit the path just like you can do with AvantGo.
Can the 2nd (cam only) be installed into Ram too? And will it overwrite the old version there from the ExtRom?

If you want to install in RAM install the CAB file from "heretic" above, mine install them into Storage. And yes they will replace the old ones

can we use this pach to Alpine(qtek 2020i) who has the same problem?

I can't find the pictures in my Storage Card

I have search in the forum for a case like mine, but i can't find. Then...
I have a problema with the camera when saving pictures. I configurate the camera to save the pictures in the storage card, but i can't find the files. Even in the Pc the files doesn't appear. When i associate the photo with a contact, it appears, and even when i look the memory status looks like a file was created.
I tried to modify the reg edit, but don't work (modifying the local to save). What can i do?
EDIT: I'm using QTEK A9100, with the WM 6.1 (rom with the TouchFLO).

wm6.5 Titanium Photo Panel (change folder)

Is it possible to edit the reg somehow to change the default folder for where it gets the photos from?

Put all your pictures into "Pictures" folder on Internal Storage.

Storage Card folder
Putting all your photos in the "My Pictures" folder would work, of course, but no way you could think of it as a viable solution. How much spare memory do you have?
I've been wondering my self about this folder change. Anybody knows if it's possible to point the plug in to a folder in the external storage card?

Make a folder called 'Pictures' on your storage card, and put your pictures in there.
The plugin will show the images from that folder as well.

Great tip

didn't work for me. it show the pictures from my storage where my camera saves to.
edit: Omnia i910 btw..

Ideal Photo Settings?
Currently the right soft key is 'Show all Photos'
It'd be great if the left soft key could be 'Change Photo Folder'
...so if you have different sets of photos, in different folders, you could easily choose which folder...

That "pictures" folder work-around doesnt work for me too...
I gave already some ideas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527210

Anyone find anything?

Make a folder called 'DCIM' on your storage card, and put your pictures in there.
The plugin will show the images from that folder as well.
