why doesn't photo viewer auto rotate? - Touch HD General

like a lot of other people (pobably), I have a number of photos on my storage card. I can browse those photos with the photo viewer which lets me see a thumbnail of each image. Great...except a lot of them are taken in landscape mode and the phone doesn't auto rotate when I turn the phone.
If I view the images using a file explorer, then I have to thumb through the images until I find the one I want (a long process sometimes), but then the pics rotate perfectly when I turn the phone.
This is bloody annoying.
is there a solution somewhere? surely if the phone rotates perfectly well when looking at a file througha a file explorer then looking at a landscape picture in a photo viewer should do the same?? or would that be too much like common sense for HTC to think of?
thanks

ok, since nobody seems to know.
is there an alternative picture viewer that i can get that will give me thumbnails AND autorotate so I can see my landscape pics in landscape mode?

Have you tried any rotations apps like G-Sen, gyrator or FlipIt? You can set HTC Album or Photo viewer to rotate both portarit and landscape.

I swear man... I am lookong for the same thing... Its just toooo annoying!!!
Hope picassa is ported to wm with auto rotate!!

Am I really that stupid? Where's the Photo Album gone?

Ok, MDA Pro newbie here, as you can see...
On the good old MDA III there was a servicable Photo Album that let you rotate pictures, and view them full screen etc. The "Pictures&Video" on the MDA Pro is wholly inadequate for that, none of them functions seem to be there, unless I missed them all...
Am I right? Is the Album somewhere else where I didn't see it? Should I get a different picture viewer altogether, and if yes, which?
THAAAANKS!
Anyone?
It's called "Pictures and Videos" and is standard with WM5
Cheers

its gone.
i use resco photo viewer, bit resource hungry, but far more powerful.
...and There is NO Photo Album, Caller ID, & Xbackup on Universal... :wink:
After having used this machine for 3 weeks now I find it really annoying that so many tried and tested things have changed for the worse, this being just the one.
Since you seem to have pictures&video then all you really need to do is learn how to use it again. The pictures&video app (at least on my MDA pro) can do pretty much everything you're looking from it. To rotate a picture, open it, tap menu - edit and on the editor screen tap rotate at the bottom left. To view a picture full screen select it, tap menu - "play slide show", then tap the screen and hit the pause button to stop it from moving on to the next picture. If the slideshow shot is the wrong orentation for you then you can change that in the slide show options (set for portrait mode by default but you can select landscape as the default). You can even crop your pictures in the editor or have it autocorrect for colour and exposure.
XnView
You can also use XnView. it's free and very performant.

Set Landscape Wallpaper..

Hey,
I've tried to use the "Forum Search" tool but can't seem to find the right key words to find a solution to my problem, my question is..
Q: How can you set the picture for the landscape view w/o having to download a theme, like I set my wallpaper for portrait and then little while down the road I slide my phone out and its a picture I had in the past, is there any way to specifically set the landscape wallpaper separately?
Thanks to the people reading/answering..

On my phone,(Sprint Mogul) I converted the pic I wanted to use for permanent landscape background from .jpg to .gif and named it "tdywater_320_240" then put it in the Windows directory overwriting the existing file, then soft reset. If you want to permanently set for Portrait name the gif "tdywater_240_320" and repeat the previous steps. Hope this helps.

Some Questions to TF3D (esp. HTC ALBUM)

Hi Guys,
thanks for the great Software!
Last week i've installed TF3DHDB2. Now I've got some questions:
1. My X1-Camera saves its images to \Speicherkarte\DCIM .
I want to tell HTC ALBUM that it should only show images out of this folder. With HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Album\favorite_folder = [ALL] it shows all images saved on the SD Card. How can I change this?
Set this value to "\Speicherkarte\DCIM" does not work.
2. Image rotation in Picture Detail view
When I watch the pictures in TF3D (Home Plugin) and then clicked one, it opens fullscreen. If this picture is a portrait format one, it shows in landscape mode, and not in portrait mode, how it should. You get what I mean?
Thanks for helping.
This is my first post here, so please be indulgent with me ;-)
open the HTCAlbum, surf to your pictures folder.
then use the rigth softkey and choose "set as favourite" and boom ... it shows the Pictures from the camera in TF3D ... thats the theory at least
Thanks, that was too easy ;-)
Problem #1 solved!
any ideas for problem #2? :/

Pictures rotate only 3 seconds!

Dear All,
When I read the pictures in Album, the pictures only rotate to the right size (portrait or landscape) for 3 seconds, then it will changed back to portrait. Anyone has the same problem? Or are there any expert can save this issue? Many thanks...
are you using a rotation app like gyrator, gsen, or any other ones?
it seems that you are using both, the builtin rotation features and in addition another one like gyrator or changescreen.
you have exclude album from the rotation applications or uninstall your rotation software

Did you install HD Tweak?
Open HD Tweak and change the setting:
GSensor-> Activation -> Disabled
It works for me.
Thanks for your help...after reinstall the rotation program, everything back to normal...

esco Photo Viewer v6.33 is much better than Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher

Hi guys,do you feel Resco Photo Viewer v6.33 is actually much better than its newer version Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher?
Of course Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 is more finger friendly,but I can tell you it is very bad when it comes to picture control (zoom,move).
In Photo Viewer v6.33,you can zoom any rate (25%,50%,100% etc) you like with very quick and precise manner. Without doubt,50% and 100% are most often used zoom rate. therefore buttons for 50% and 100% are very useful which enable us to zoom the picture at our desired size quickly.
And you can close the zoom tool any time you like.
While in newer version,Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher, you basically move the vertical bar to zoom in and out,it is very difficult to get the desired zoom quickly. and this zoom bar and other buttons cannot be closed any time we like, you have to wait for them to automatically disappear,I find this annoying.
OK,it does has one cliche feature which every other photo viewer has: double click to enlarge (you can set 100% default), another double click to go back to small size.
Well,this feature looks cool,but in practice,it is actually very frustrating for users.
Ok,let's say,I double click the picture to make it 100% size,now when I try to move the picture,it will accidentally double click,which brings the picture to small size,then I double click again to enlarge,finally I move the picture to the postion I want to see, as you can expect,I accidentally double click again, it is small again, god damn,ok,let's double click again to make it back,but I need to move AGAIN the picture to the position I desperately try to see,but I accidently double click again......
The result is that it takes long time to get the right position,if you want to move picture constantly,it is very very frustrating. Come on,no more double click to zoom, if this feature is workable, we would have already used other many free viewers instead of Resco which is not free.
Another bad about Photo Viewer v7.0 is that,the movement of picture is not as steady(stable,solid) as v6.33,it's like the picture is on the air,when you move it a little with your finger,it will still slide away. this is very bad when it comes to viewing a photo. we need it steady, not slippy.
I would recommend to devolop photo viewer based on build v6.33,for example,if you can make thumbnails scrollable by finger-touching the screen, it will be the almost most perfect photo viewer.
