Hi, why does the photo viewer on the touchflo cube only see pictures stored on the phone memory and not the memory card. I cannot see a way to change this in settings, am I missing something?

Create a folder called DCIM on your memory card and put your pictures in there.

Take a picture with the camera, and make sure it stores your pictures on your memory card. Put your other pics wherever your newly taken pic ends up.
I have lots of photos on my memory card, they dont seem to appear on the photo viewer with the touch interface:-( Do I have to move all of them internally?
I Can access them only via file explorer, I can still view them there and do a slide show but no touch zoom, pan etc..
Of course I dont want to be moving all of them in to internal mem, that would defeat the purpose of buying a higher capacity mem. If I can access pics and media externally then im getting an 8 gig pronto
just a small reminder to use the search function ;-)
... move all photos to the folder DCIM on your storage card and it will work.
do not forget to use the search function next time ;-)
Sorry, found the answer earlier right here also, thanks and again my apologies.
I've loaded some photos onto specific contacts so they show up in the TouchFlo People tab as speed dial links. The photos look crap when they're shown in the flickable list. I've tried all resolutions (from large to small). One photo looks fine (no idea why) but others look like really heavily compressed jpegs.
Photo slides in the Photos tab look just as bad. The original ones loaded onto the machine looked fine but whatever resolution I try for my own images they look heavily compressed and pixellated. They're all jpegs, just like the originals.
Can anybody help please?
Just recently got the HD Touch myself coming off of the Pro Dual and yea, had the same "issue". Basically had to re-do my photos for contacts; ended up doing 500x500 saved as pngs...
Hope that helps!
Thanks for that. I'll try making some pngs and see if it helps.
Well png images for the People tab has certainly improved things. Thank you for that tip. They also look great in the Photos tab. I guess TouchFlo doesn't know how to optimise png images.
But what about the 'Photos' tab? My albums are full of jpegs and I don't want to have to reproduce them as pngs just for the bloody TouchFlo screen. Why do the original photos look so much better?
There are people in this forum complaining about the sharpness of the TouchFlo background image, but am I the only one whinging about these album pics? Grrr...
Try using photo album, then choose the photo and assign to contact.
i used the people tab and from there added the people and then choose menu --> change picture. looks a lot better and no resizing pictures needed.

I've tried all ways and the png method is the only thing that made a difference.
I had the same prob....You need to add the photo from the people tab using the menu button, they look fine if you do it this way.
I found the way that gave the best quality by far was to add them via the Favourite People tab as a 256 x 256 JPG. A bit of a pain in the arse to do but at least you only have to do it once.

calvin55 is right - I had the same problem and then moved good pictures into "My Pictures" folder and then from the photo album used the "assign to contact" option.
Big improvement !
OK, I've taken a photo of the screen to show you what I mean about the poor quality images in the Photo tab. Hopefully it's clear what's wrong with the preview image...
I confirm that the album method works fine and fix this problem.
Create thumbnails of your choice and move them all to My Pictures folder.
Then open Album, choose an image, and 'Save To Contact'. works great.
Can I remind all people to read the tips & tricks part of the wiki
It already has the solution to your problem amongst other tips/tweaks you may all like
Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
All contact photos should be saved to My Pictures folder on your Storage card
Normally, People will go to
>>menu>>change picture>>name.jpeg
But that will give u low resolution.
Try using this method, it eliminates the trouble to resize or change format.
>>file explorer>>[open pic file]>>menu>>save to contact>>select a contact
and this will solve your problem

Hi All,
I've got an interesting problem and I haven't found any hints elsewhere on this site or the interwebs. I have an HTC HD2 and I used the registry mod to enable GPS photos. Latest English ROM and no major mods other than Cookie's Home Tabs (which is awesome). I can take GPS pictures, show them on the map on the phone and upload them to Facebook.
The issue is, I can't find the GPS pictures anywhere on the storage device. All my photos go to /Storage Card/DCIM/Media100, but there are no GPS photos in there.
When I look at my Photo Albums on the native photo viewer, I have two Albums both named Media100. In one of these albums I have all my regular images, the same that show up in the folder listed above. In the other folder, I have all my GPS photos which I can handily view in the album (so I know they're still here somewhere).
If I search the storage card while on ActiveSync, I can find all the GPS photos that I'm searching for, but I can't access them to copy them onto my laptop.
This is a perplexing problem. It looks like somehow I have a memory naming issue and I don't know how to sort it out and I don't want to lose all my pictures. My last resort will be to go through and select each one and email it to myself, but that will take some time.
Any ideas out there?

Here's a new one on me. I took some pictures and all a sudden I can't share them with messaging or messenger. I get sorry "messenger was unable to process the file" I am using quikpic and also tried snap gallery. i tried clearing data/cache for quikpic and messages, did a smart clean and a reboot. I'm lost. any help is appreciated. I hope i don't have to reset.
looks like my camera pics moved back to the internal memory somehow and my explorer app still shows them on the SD card and when i try to open them then they won't load because they're not there. stock cam still shows SD card for storage. one of my camera apps must have glitched the phone.
So i copied the pics from internal camera folder to the external now i can' t look at those either. i think the file folder structure is glitched. the quikpic still can read pics from the memory card other then what i copied over. i do'n't know what happened. could have happened with Gcam froze up last night after taking a few pictures. so i loaded a diff camera to take pictures in a hurry. they must have both been trying to write to memory.
i still can't get my photos to my computer or anything. i can view them with photo galleries, edit with snapseed and send to mom with messaging through snapseed but the exported files can't be viewed either. i have some really nice pics of my pet birds that isn't easy to take sometimes. Is there some way to recover them?
now i am having the same problem when trying to load music from the file manager. the players say the file was modified or deleted.
