HTC photo album

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

User defined Ablums in the Media Panel

Just ot my Xperia before NY's eve and I love it! But I have a question - does anyone know a way to make predefined albums in the Media Panel instead of all my pictures appearing in one giant gallery? It just gather every single photo from the phone and memory card and displays them.. How do I make my own folders/galleries/etc..?
And maybe something simillar for the video seciotn of the Media Panel?
Cheers Xperiancers )

Heh I should have searched a bit more efore posting...... So no uck with this, no folders for the media panel
The thing that I wanted this for was to be able to play the cool "zooming-out-and-moving" slideshow that the media panel has with selected images rather than all of them, or just camera pics...
No way of having this?
Cheers

Anyone?

Album Art

What do i have to do to get album art to show on every album in media player and media panel some show and some dont.Do you need to us art that is a specific size. Please help

You need to learn how to search these forums.

Hi,
I use a tool called Tagrunner and it integrates the Album Art in the .mp3. I think there are also some freeware tools that do that...
I think there is a way to add a .jpg file in the album folder but for me the method to integrate the picture directly in the .mp3 is better...

Yes i do but advice is what i want not telling off.

Update on this issue.
I used mp3Tag to check all my music. Many already had coverart tagged in them but the X1a would not show it. I then realized that the ones that were showing were 300x300 pixels or less. The X1a may show larger files but my larger files were off iTunes and 600x600 and they definitely would not show.
So I went out to mog.com and found all my artwork in smaller file sizes. I attached the new artwork using mp3Tag and presto, everything works now. It took a bit of time but if you want it to work, this is the only way.

in order to visualize the cover, I use TAGScanner, and integral the cover within every mp3 album.
Making this, I can see all the covers some in Music, of the Media Xperience Panel.

Photo Albums in Mediascape

Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any customisation options in Mediascape that I'm missing. Now that I've started putting photos into folders, I've noticed some annoyances. The Albums categories show photos that I do not want there, such as Album Art from my Music. I know I can fix this by tagging/embedding the artwork properly, but it's still a pain. But the same problem applies elsewhere. For example, I use the Sync2Pix app for bringing Facebook photos into my Contact List. These photos now appear in Mediascape under a 'cache' folder.
Is there no option to specify where Mediascape looks for photos? Or does anyone know where it looks, the memory card only?
Any advice appreciated...

Hi
I use Mixzing for music - i deleted those folders in mediascape which held "album art" and it didn't affect the album art in mixzing.
I think if you went into your photos folders using pc companion you can move your photos around to different folders and change folder names, for the sort of thing you are downloading from facebook, i just made a folder called contact pics and stuck them in there.
Angie

I don't think I can change the Facebook contacts folder as it's the app that is setting it's cache folder. Surely SE can have a simple option to select or monitor certain folders only? Will check out Mixzing though, thanks.

hey how can i dump my own wallpapers in the default wallpapers??

Do this:
On PC, open notepad, then save as .nomedia and save as type: all files
Place that .nomedia file to the folder on x10 that you don't want mediascape to read and that's it.

Dejo, thanks a lot, I thought there might be something like that I could stick in the code, so glad you told me. Will try it out tomorrow. Thanks again.

[Q] Any way to hide albums in the gallery?

I have a few different "Albums" (folders) that I like to be able to see in the Moto gallery app, but when I click on settings > Albums, it shows EVERY folder that has a picture or video in it. Which means every music download folder I have shows up since it has album art and every video/movie shows up that is in a different folder. So I have 100+ albums to scroll through to find the ones I want.
I tried deleting them, from within the gallery, but it deletes the actual folder on your phone/SD card....In the HTC gallery, you could use a feature called "Hide albums".......Is there anything like this for the Moto gallery?

if your albums are in different folders you could make a file using es file app and name it .nomedia and it wont show up in your gallery app. but if all your pics are in the same folder then none of them would show up in gallery.

No, they're all different folders. I have my basic folders I want to keep: Camera, Pictures (which I keep older pics in), Screenshots, Downloads, Wallpapers, ect... Then I have 97 music albums, each in it's own folder on my external SD card and then a "Movie-TV" folder with sub-folders in it: Doctor Who, Fringe, X-Files, and other nerd titles. All of these show up in my gallery.
I'll try the .nomedia trick, but adding that to 100+ folders is going to take a few minutes.... I was hoping there was an easier way, like there is on the HTC.

as far as I know this is the only way

You could just use quickpic gallery? It's nice, quick and light. And allows you to hide folders in bulk. It adds a .nomedia to them.
Also... If all the folders you don't want to see are in a single folder, you could put the .nomedia at the top level to have the others ignored...

Yeah, I've used QuicPic before and really liked it... I've heard some "bad things" about the latest update, or at least the new company that bought it?? I may give it a try anyways, I have nothing against a new company unless they introduce ads or something?
I also found the HTC Once M9 gallery and camera that works perfect on the MXP... I may just use that. The camera seems to work pretty well with our phones too, I may have it for my 2nd camera....and for when I hand my phone to someone to take a pic of me and they ask "where's the picture button"?

Creating a .nomedia file in the Music folder works.

Just got a used MXP last night after I broke the One Max I had been using and there weren't any good One Max's for sale. Big screen, stereo speakers, sd slot.... perfect. Had all previous HTC phones back to ppc6800.
I miss my gallery and Music HTC apps. I have 50gb of organized cd's on my sd card and I see the pictures in the gallery as all separate folders. I renamed my old sd card camera pictures folder from 100 media (htc save location) to camera (mxp save location) and it shows my camera roll with all 4,000 pictures and whatnot and adds new pics right inline. Kind of solved my gallery problem if I just stay out of the "albums" spot and just leave it on "Camera roll"... I now have camera roll, and videos as separate spots, but that doesn't help for screenshots or downloads so much. Don't use those that often I guess anyways.
The old HTC Music app would just simply be a music player and not mix in download/online material and try to sell me stuff. Its showing albums twice in my list as some are online and some are downloaded. I often go up north out of cell range for all weekend and play music in the truck and cabin the whole time. Streaming isn't an option so i'm in the minority that still buys lots of cd's (digitally) and downloads them and keeps an sd/computer/ full. Open the old music app hit one play button and it was back on the shuffle all, or a quick scroll down through all artists and whatnot to pick an album.
I know its the first day and I will get used to it. Man, I'm b*tching alot. haha.
Where did you find the camera and gallery files... and can you find the music app too?? I'm sure there are good 3rd party apps too, I just haven't had time to play with the new device yet besides setup.
Thanks!

Hey man, it's been about 6 months since I had my MXP (have a Nexus 6P now).. But, I believe there are some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
If you can't find what you want there, you can search that sub-fourm and I know there is another one or two threads of HTC apps floating around in that section.
Good luck!

This is amazing, Thanks for the lead.
I was holding out for the new Nexus devices later this year but the One max just wouldn't make it. ha
