The 8125 comes with ClearVue PDF. I installed Adobe Reader 2.0
And I also installed Resco File Explorer to use in place of Explorer.
I installed Spb Pocket Plus to make my Today screen more useful.
I have my association for .pdf files set to Adobe, and when I click on a PDF file with Resco, it opens in Adobe. But when I create a link to a PDF file in a Spb PocketPlus Today Tab, it opens in ClearVue. Also when I click on a Folder shortcut in Pocket Plus it is opens with Explorer, while if possible I'd like it to use Resco.
Anyone know how to change the behavior of Pocket Plus in these situations?
Thanks,
Tref
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.
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.
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.

Thank you I found that setting works great now.
