Change default camera save folder? - Mogul, XV6800 General

This probably been asked thousands of times now and trust me I've search and search and search, but I can't find a working solution. Is there a way to change which folder pictures are saved to when using the camera? I'm not just talking about phone memory->storage card. I'm talking about having it move from \My Documents\My Pictures to say \Program Files\ProgramName\images.
Note: I'm currently using camera version 5.07 (vogue) and I've tried changing registry settings, but they just keep reverting back.

2 questions reg. Camera and MMS

Ive got the S100 and have two questions.
1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.
2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.
All help appreciated!

there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...
After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.
relax, man, and enjoy!!!
You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.

And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:
From a post that I've found in this forum:
"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] "
Bye bye
yes-yes-yes, that's what I'm talking about... But it is not working with default camera!

+ I am talking about ALL .cabs in list of udates! What about their differences? And what kind of apps is they, I mean, what do they do?

What about quality of shots? Is something changed?

Well, cant see any difference actually...
Well, the original cab file for the MMS prog would be great as well, since the new one didnt work - at all
There's apparently not much you can do regarding picture quality but the latest camera software patch will fix up the snow problem on your pictures. You will still see snow on the viewer but the pictures will be snow-free
I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.
Camera app is working, but there is no difference. exept landscape mode onle, mms video mode (don't notice it in default app), and absent day-folders when saving.
ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!
I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305&highlight=
And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.
What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..
And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?
/n
There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called
ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe
The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe
And there you have it.
For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM

THANX!!
If you install the RC28 camera file you just have to reset your today wallpaper and it will be fine, I think the same happened when I tried 23 too.

TD2 camera: Date & Time filename

Hi all. I've been trying to find any posts on how to change the TD2's default photo filenames to date & time. It's so much better than the default 'IMAGE0001' and so on which says nothing about the picture other than how many photographs you've taken on your ROM before this one. Date & time is also helpful if for some reason the filedate gets broken by copying or making backups. It used to be configurable in the Diamond 1 camera settings. I want it back!
There are some posts about camera filenames but none that I could find were about the HTC ROM camera app. I've tried to find anything useful in the registry, but all i could find there was a way to change the prefix 'IMAGE' to another fixed prefix. It's not listed as an option in the Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.
Can anybody give me some directions?
I've found two more possible suspects in the registry:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/captparam/ enabledatefolder = 0
Not sure if this is what I want. I suppose this creates a date folder for every day that you take a picture, but the images themselves are still in the IMAGE0001 filename convention.
Then there's:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ filenametype = 0
BINGO! Or so I thought. Changed it to 1, nothing happened. Next images still in IMAGE0001 format, even after a softreset.
This key is different on my TD1 and TD2:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ EnableNewPromptStr4InnerStorage = 0
I have no idea what it does, but on the TD1 (with date filename option) it's set to 1. Changing it doesn't change filename OR the greyed out camera settings/advanced/prefix option. Changed it back to 0.
Tips are still very welcome. Thanks.
*bump*
I am also interested in this. Has anyone make any progress here?
I found the same problem in TP2. When I change filenametype to 1 then soft reset. Prefix setting still grey...
The reason this frustrates me is because I was able to tweak the registry to save my photos to a specific folder on my storage card on a previous device, but no matter what I set the registry to on my TD2, it only saves to My Docs or DCIM on storage card and I have tweaked everything possible for save locations.
Therefore when I copy the new pics from DCIM to my folder, I always have to rename them through windows. WTF?
I've moved on to the HD2, which has the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the storage location: put it on internal storage and you can change the filename prefix, put it on memorycard and you can't.
Here's a fix that works on the HD2, maybe it does the trick for the Diamond2

yes worked on my Diamond 2... thanks!

Great find thanks. I had changed the DCIM to "0" but never went back ito settings to see that it opened up the prefix.
No problem, just help me find out how to tell 'Albums' that the default directory for finding my photographs is no longer the DCIM folder but the My Documents/My Pictures folder. If we get that fixed I'll be 100% satisfied.
Oh and by the way, the HD2 is a killer machine

Do you mean so that it displays in the Manila tab?
If so, just go to the photo tab, select Albums and navigate to the new Album, then in menu set as favorite.
If not, please clarify.
haha that simple! Thanks!

Titanium -> change pictures tab location

Hi there,
Quick question, probably a stupid one (I've tried searching for the answer here, but couldn't find one, probably because it's to simple to mention)
But hey, I'm gonna ask it anyway!
With Titanium on Windows mobile 6.5, how do you change the location of the pictures in the Pictures tab of titanium.
It automaticallly looks in device\my documents\my pictures
but I have everything in Internal storage\my documents\my pictures
I've tried setting the album as favorite, I've tried advanced configuration tool
Nothing seems to work, any suggestions?

Registry Keys to set Camera / Picture defaults

Hi Guys,
I’ve done a look through the forums but can’t find the answer for which specific Key I need to revert so hopefully someone can answer this quickly.
Basically I’ve been on a mission trawling the registry to try and find a way to have pictures taken by the camera always save to the \Storage Card\Pictures path. However no matter what change of registry settings I’ve done to keys which look like they might be controlling this path, it always saves in the DCIM folder structure. Also Advanced Config doesn’t seem to over-ride this as it happily reports the new paths that I’ve set.
I’ve found plenty of threads where people have also been attempting this but to no joy. Now that I’ve given up I need to set the correct keys back to what they were originally.
Which key is the one which tells the Pictures Tab in Sense the folder to show the pictures from (as currently my Pictures tab reports ‘No Photos Available’. I’d like to revert it back to the ‘default’ so it at least knows to open up the various directories it creates for pictures/videos under Storage Card\DCIM\
Alternatively if someone has found a solution to this and can point the default Camera save location to a directory other than DCIM, then please let us know.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
2 minutes with ceregistryeditor and google came up with these two settings, and a little tweak. Not tested them , so sorry if they dont work, but worth a try!
HKLM\system\pictures\camera\OEM\picturelocation holds two keys,
external - \DCIM\
internal - \my documents\my pictures\
also
HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general holds lots of keys, one of which is EnableDCIM and a google on EnableDCIM brought up THIS post from where else but xda dev.
one for the camera
HKLM \Software\HTC\Camera\General
change EnableDCIM from 1 to 0
this will change the default path to save image from
Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA to storage card\my documents

Thanks for the info. Through further tweaking and adjusting of those keys I've happened upon a combination which is now working again.
Also appreciate the tip about CE Reg Editor as I wasn't aware of this program. That will be much quicker than the Resco Registry Editor I was using...

Guys... I get "Access Denied" when I try to edit the:

internal - \my documents\my pictures\
Keys? And when I change the "EnableDCIM" key, all that happens is the preview in Sense looks at the new location, but the camera still saves to the old?
No worko?

Thanks for the tip - tried that, but still doesn't work! :-(
I can't get this to work. I had already tried everything mentioned above to no avail.
What ever I do, it always saves under \Storage Card\DCIM\100Media
What am I missing?

Ignoring photos from photos tab?

Sorry, I'm sure this was answered somewhere, I just cant seem to find it or figure it out...
I added folders to my ignore list (HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored), which successfully removed the unwanted pictures from the Albums aplication, but they're still apearing in the Photos & Videos tab. Can anyone tell me if there's a seperate entry to controll the tab?
Oh, and I named the entries "Camera1" and "Camera2" if that matters.
Again, I apologize for asking a seamingly common question, but I got no help from my searches.
That's weird... I assume you remembered to soft-reset after setting the ignored folders. The only thing I can think of would be trying to re-set your favourite album to "All"
Yep, I soft-reset.
Here's a bit more info... I installed the "HP iPrint Photo" app and it created some Thumbs folders in the locations of my photos. Those are the ones I'm trying to exclude... "\My Documents\My Pictures\_Thumb144X116" and "\Storage Card\DCIM\100Media\_Thumb144X116".
The one from the storage card is being excluded but not the one in My Docs.
How do i install hp iprint 2.0 app. Can't find it in Marketplace. Is there a cab.I have a HTC HD2. Hope someone can help.
Kind regards
