When I try to view a picture in File Explorer a message appears with a RED CROSS and the following 'There is no application associated with "whatever the pictures name is..". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. The windows icon is also faded out. This problem is with pictures on my storage card and device. Pictures are viewable if I go through the media panel but you can't do jack with the pictures there, like bluetoothing, etc, just view them.
Any ideas.
You have the file associations in registry\HKCR\, i.e. the jpg images has it's associations in registry\HKCR\jpegimage\, pointed to by the registry\HKCR\.jpg key.
I guess some installed and uninstalled program has broken the link.
You can use Total Commander CE to view and alter the file associations in the properties for that file.
Set the association command to :MSPIMG and the param to "%1" to use the default image viewer.
Tops. Thanks for your help.

After making core player my default player, I can longer use mp3s as ringtones. Problem is I cant seem to make the windows media player the default again.
This link http://www.futurehardware.in/568121.htm discusses the same issue and suggests that only a hard restore will fix it.
Surely I can make windows media the default player again without resorting to a hard reset.
Can anyone help with this please?
Cheers, Dean
Anyone out there that can help??
You need to try opening a fully functioned File Explorer (Resco File Explorer or Total Commander), seeking an mp3 file, then Tap/Holding its entry. This should bring up a context menu, which includes Open With..; If you select 'Open With..' you should get a list of applications, which should include WMP, and there is a checkbox at the bottom of the screen to 'Always use this program'
Resco is available as a trial, and Total Commander is free.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried this with total commander but only get "open" instead of "open with". When I then select open, I recieve the following message:
"There is no application associated with filename. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"
So I do that but still have the problem - its like wmp wont associate with any files.
Any suggestions on this? Would resco explorer be any different?
Thanks, Dean
It is worth downloading Resco and trying it- the trial is free so nothing to lose.
It could be that Core Player has corrupted the whole file association system, in which case a hard reset may be needed, but I've not come across that before.
Have you tied reinstalling Core Player and starting again, then uninstalling again?
Is it possible to change the view in File Explorer to thumbnails rather than details?
In a word, no.
Total Commander, however, will let you browse as full size icons. No thumbnails, though.
Hi,

i've had that problem with album arts.....after many programs used i'm now using a program called Mp3Tag Editor.......it's soooo great and you can add the album art of your choice with no complications....you can download it from its site [Sorry, as a new member i'm not allowed to post links to other sites] just search google for [ mp3tag editor ]....
you just need to modify a little bit in the settings......so here is what to do :
after completing installation open the prog --> click on the [Tools] tab and then choose [Options] then modify the [Mpeg] setting just like what you see in the attached image......
have fun adding your album arts to your favorite music...
i hope that will help you......
I use media monkey as it works very similar to itunes, which I'm used to. Can add any artwork to any music files, and you don't even have to resize the artwork first
There are several methods.
You can embed artwork in the music files themselves, using a pc application as described above (Media Monkey, Mp3Tag...).
Or you can simply copy your album cover image to the folder where the music files are and rename it to 'folder.jpg'. This can be done using the phone's own file explorer, so no need for a pc.
Thanks to everyone.
i did it.
Best regards,

I tried the folder.jpg in the same folder as my music file but it didn't work?
I am using the same folder structure as the HTC pre supplied music files and I can view the jpg in the PDA editor
Any ideas? I prefer the simple (less software) approach rather than loading software like mp3tag and mediamonkey etc
I don't remember the folder structure of the pre-supplied music, but my music is arranged like this: "Storage Card\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\". In each folder, I have all the mp3's for that specific album, along with its own "folder.jpg". I assume it's the same in your case.
It could take a while before you actually see it. Try playing each of the album's tracks (just skipping through them should be enough), then load another album, then go back to the first. You should start seeing the folder image this way.
If that doesn't work, you could check the album folder to see if there's a file with a name that starts with "~hTC_". This is the Music Player's own cover image, made from whatever cover you supplied. If such a file already exists, you could try deleting it and then repeat the above steps to force the Player to recreate the cover image.
I'm using QuickPic and it is one of the best image viewers out there. But there is a problem when it comes to browse the photos by directory structure. QuickPic just displays any folder that has images in it (well of course some can be hidden/excluded), but they all appear on the same level, both parent folders and child folders. Is there any good image viewer that actually lets me browse the directories like a file manager? And I need to be able to view images in thumbnail mode (small or big, size of the thumbnails doesn't matter). Thanks in advance.
if i remember correctly, the miui gallery allows you to view by directory:

I put some tv shows on my Nexus 5 but now they show up in the Gallery app. How do I make it so only photos show in Gallery? Under my storage settings the videos show up as Misc. storage instead of videos. I just used Android File Transfer to drop the files.

Make sure the videos are in a different folder than your photos.
In the videos folder, create a file (I use ES File Manager, you can use a computer too) called .nomedia (just like that, starting with a period).
Restart the phone and the videos won't show up, but you can access them thru a file manager or media player etc.
edit: If any of that was confusing, I have attached a .nomedia file. Just extract the zip file and you will have the file I am talking about.
Any folder you put this file into the contents will not show up in the stock gallery app.

This is because Gallery is the stock Android video player, so it is supposed to show videos!
My personaly recommendation is to ditch the stock Gallery and use QuickPic instead (free on store) which as well as being a far better image viewer (including immersive mode statusbar hiding!) also has the ability to hide videos from the main list, plus the ability to hide any specific folder your want from the main view.

Thanks it seems to have worked even though no file showed up in the folder. How would I remove the .nomedia since it seems to be invisible?

You can see it on a computer, also there should be a setting in ES Explorer to view hidden files.
Found it.
If you use ES File Explorer.
click on the top left, hit Tools, then near the bottom there's a "show hidden files" option.
