Moving default picture location to storage card

Had a look through search, but couldnt find this anywhere.
Is it possible, via registry or other means, to move the default location of photos / videos taken or MMS object saves from the
\My Documents\My Pictures and
\My Documenst\My Videos
to something like
\Storage Card\Photos in
Many thanks, and the last few weeks of new SPV M5000 have been made all the easier for the info gleaned from this site - keep it flowing !

Whilst in the camera application there is an icon like a screwdriver and fork - click on that. Then in the tools menu click options. The new window that opens contains three tabs - the general tab allows you to state where pictures/videos should be saved to either main memory or storage card. Not sue about MMS though.

Superb Matt,
Thats the camera sorted, now can any of you super registry hackers out there help with the MMS one?

Is there anyway to hide an album(folder) from HTC album?

I'd like to set "all" as the favorite album in the TF3D photo tab so it just displays all the photos I've taken (I have about 100 pics separated by folder under \storage card\pictures\) The problem is when I do that it puts other pics like the icon's for Angelusz's landscape fix at the top of the thumbs list.
Is there a way to either hide certain album's(folder's) from HTC Album's view, or a way to make it only look at the storage card and not at the phone itself?

if you get an answer.... please repost!!!!
having same issue.
looking to not show in the 'albums' section a specific folder that has images in it.
and in the same token, making these (same) pics not be available through the 'see-all' feature.
trying to not have 'accidental' display of pics no need to make them "hidden-files" because then one wouldn't be able to view them when needing to.
can there be a limit set to the viewer and how 'deep' it searches for images? maybe they can be placed in a series of sub-folders that are so many deep, that the viewer does not look for....?

yeah this is a big problem if you have tomtom because it loads all of those pics

The simplest solution is to change the properties to hiddend for the image files you do not want to see in the tab.
There is also a reg patch to exclude particular folders but i dont know the details

If anyone has more information on this reg patch, I'd like to know more.
Also as Angelusz pointed out to me in another thread the HTCAlbum doesn't search the windows directory, so I've been dumping wallpapers ect. in there whenever I can. The big downside to this is the amount of time it takes the X1 to load the windows directory, especially when your trying out several wallpapers.

Key
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
(if ignored doesn't exist: create it)
Make a new String Value and give it any name
example: igo
set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
(note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well)
source

Great, thanks for the tip!

Excellent, thanks.

Thanks for the info! But there is an issue
Hello -
i tried your suggestion, but it didn't quite work.
i have the HTC fuze -
i created a folder in the storage card called ddd, then went to the registry and followed your suggestion, but when i go to the camera, and select the soft-key for albums, there are some options called "all" and "camera shots" that still reveal the contents of the whole phone. and the folders that contain the images that are to be kept away from accidental viewing, are already located on that folder 'ddd' on the storage card. how do i delete the "all"/"camera shots" feature form the album viewer, or better yet, how do i keep some pictures from coming up in their individual folders in the same viewer.
sorry to be a pest, but if there's anywhere else to get good info on this matter...it'd be here.
thanks for the help!!

works for me, thanks

GPS Photo Mode: Change Save Location

Hi All,
I have been using the new version of TomTom and as some of you may know there is an option to use Navigate To... Picture.
Now here is my Problem: When I take a picture in GPS Mode. (After enabling it in Advanced Config), the photo get's saved in \Internal Storage\My Documents\My Pictures\My POI
However TomTom only picks up photos that are stored in a root folder of the storage card called GEO-PHOTOS.
Is there some way you can change the default location of photos taken in GPS mode to be saved in this Folder? Otherwise you need to always move the pictures around!?
I assume there is a registry entry somewhere but I haven't found it yet. Will keep looking.
Or can you change TomTom to pick it up from a different folder? (I am using TomTom v7.915)
I think this would be useful for a lot of people

Okay I found the registry value.
But all it lets me change is the Folder name within My Pictures, but not the actual location of the folder.
I just seaarched for "My Poi" in the registry editor.
Anyone has an idea how to do this

I'm just going out on a limb here but on Windows sometimes the program confuses links and actual folders. Therefore, you could try copying the folder where your images are stored and paste a shortcut to that folder in the root of your storage. Then rename the shortcut to the name that TomTom wants.
It might help/work

Cheers I'll give that a try.

Is anyone else finding that the location embedded in GPS photos taken on these phones is consistently about 10 miles to the east of the actual location? I've Googled it and it is a problem that affects a number of HTC phones, but I can't find a solution...

Haven't checked that
.
Tried to fool TomTom into using a link to the My POI folder (in My Documents) but that didn't work.
Anyone else has another idea?
I will try telling Windows to save the gps photo in a link to the root TomTom folder: GEO-PHOTOS rather than in the My POI Folder. will let you know tomorrow

Geotagging

Hi all
I want to use my Touch HD as a GPS logger when im on vacation and taking photos.
I want it to log my destination and then when i come home i want to be able to put these geocodes in the photos so i can remember exactly where every photo was shot.
Can anyone help me how to do it?

Not sure if this is what your after I downloaded HD Tweak which in the camera setting you can activate GPS camera then your photos will have that info embedded I tried this and uploaded them to Panoramio and it worked well.
Sorry dont have HD Tweak Cab but its easy to find through search.
Hope that helps

By the way if you select your SD card as the save destination in camera settings it is usually saved in My Documents/My POI

Thx for your help but it is not exactly what i want. I just want it to log my destination like this one.

I am taking pictures with my digital camera and then i want to syncronise my pictures (taken with my digital camera) with the destination from the GPS in my phone.

GPS Utilities does the trick
I'm using Efficasoft's GPS Utilities (http://www.efficasoft.com/gpsutilities/index_wm_sp.html) to log my track which works great.
Also, if you're in the UK and have OS Landranger maps on CD/DVD they come with a Pocket PC mapping software from Memory Map (http://www.memory-map.co.uk/pda_mobile.htm) which also logs your tracks (and shows them on a map, too).

You can use GPSCycleComputer to log your track with .gpx format,
which is free.

I use both on my biketrips.
- GPS Photo (needs a change in the registry). GPS data is saved to the EXIF info of the JPG file. Can be used with e.g. flickr.com
- GPX route, recorded with iGO8.3. You can watch your route in e.g. google earth.

Footprints help.

I have a HD2, that came with a 15 day trial of CoPilot.
I want to use footprints but I don't want to pruchase CoPilot, when I click on the co-ordinates or address in Footprints it tries to open CoPilot, is there a way to get it to search the co-ordinates in google maps or orange maps?

Warning: if you try the following solution, you'll have disfunctions on your navipanel
for google maps the solution is very simple: just rename or cancel the folder CoPilot on internal memory of your HD2, or cancel the .exe of copilot inside this folder (splashscreen.exe too)
Or you can achieve the same results with a registry mod in HKLM\Software\Htc\Navisw
there's a key named SDKModule...just cancel or rename the entry (the default is \Windows\alksdk.dll)
choose the way you prefer

can u explain this detailed pls. is there a way to auto transfer coordinates from footprints to igo or other gps software.

any ideas how to transform the coordinates???

I managed to launch iGO8 with footprints, but that's all..It's just launching the igo application, but is not making a route to my footprint coordinates.I don't think this is possible.Igo must have a script to know that it has some coordinates to load. Hopefully HTC will release a .dll or something for other gps software then CoPilot or GoogleMaps.
All the best

hope to be fastly done, actually footprint is so nice application but without coordinate transfer it becomes almost totally useless.
i hope that problem to be solved.
meanwhile copilot looks like a kid toy in respect to igo, so its nonsense to use footprint only with copilot ...

i tried exactly this, but when i click on the co-ordinate in footprints, it says "copilot.exe is not found"
