viewing pictures in different albums folder

I have created different folders to store different pictures. But on this X1, when want to browse the pictures, it will show all of them in one place. It is not like the Touch HD, I get to choose from my storage card and select the folder name for my pictures. Does anyone know the trick ?

I'm having exactly the same issue and and looking for a solution.

quick solution : use another viewer software, or the default windows viewer.

Is there another viewer software, wich running without bugs or lagging?
It should offer the sliding switch function like the iphone or the standard viewer from X1. I mean the picture switch without pressing a button - just sliding with your finger over the display..
Thanksss

Resco photo viewer is the best one out there, not sure if its touch friendly though

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)

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

How to disable "album.cache" files created by HTC Album...

Anybody know how to disable "album.cache" files created by HTC Album everytime when you open pictures file in any folder? Thanks for replies...

Is it impossible?

as far as i know it uses them
so if you delete them, next time you run album in that folder it will just make them again
so if you want to get rid, just go to the folder, press f3 to search, and type the filename.
then highlight and delete them all at once, but just dont run htc album again or it will recreate them.
whats the problem with these files anyway? if you dont have that file it will be like the first time you go into a folder with lots of pics, it will be v slow as it creates thumbnails of all the pics...
hth

it's the same as the thumbs.db in windows if you show all the hidden files.
Its just a thumbnail database file thats all nothing special and they dont even take up much room

HD2 T-Mobile USA Photos, Videos and Customization Questions...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Windows Mobile OS and had a few questions on it. I just picked up an HTC HD2 and I am LOVING this guy more and more since I found this site. I had a lot of fun customizing my iPhone, but I've been having a little trouble with my HD2. Here is what I was looking for:
1. Whenever I look into the Photos & Videos every photo and video on the device is show in the album. Is there a way to hide certain photos or folders so they don't show?
2. I have a set of videos I placed into one folder. Whenever I look into the folder, the videos all show as thumbnails. Is there a way to set it so I see the names of the videos and not the thumbs?
3. The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. When I click Start, it has a Transformers icon that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format. I found the Transformers.exe in the windows folder. Is there a way to create your own? (Kinda the same as question 2)
4. Can the "honeycomb" menu that shows when you click start, have the icons moved around freely? The only thing I've found is you hold an icon and you get the option to "Move to Top". I want to move them anywhere and not have to keep moving everything to top if I want something on the third row from the bottom.
Sorry for the long winded questions... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
V-
PS-I tried using Search for these answers, but could not get anything.

you could move your pictures to a different folder...
I think you have to update to the version of WM where there start button is on bottom left not the top, (so changing ROM), although you can re-arrange using JWMD apps (icon changer) its on here.
use total commander to create shortcuts its nice & easy (google is your friend to download)
i use file explorer to view my file names
hope some of this helps

Is there a way to set the album cover for photos? I have a folder that has lots of photos. The one on the front is not the one I want showing.
When I put videos on my phone, they don't show up in the Albums for the HTC Sense. They show up in the WinMo Library. So how do I manually add a folder to the HTC Sense Library?
Also some of the game and windows files show up in the HTC Library. I'd like to remove them from it.

[Q] Changing incoming/outgoing calls default image

I want to change the default image that my WM 6.1 HTC Touch HD uses for the incoming/outgoing calls. I know you can add pictures for contacts, but i just want to replace the image i get for any call, be it a person from my contacts or an unknown number. I guess it's possbile to replace the image in the Windows directory, but i couldn't find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it. Thanks

i guess, if it is a standard graphic file like .jpg or .png, the easiest way to find it would be to open Pictures & Videos (not Album!), the app is still present in most roms. then navigate to the windows folder and it will show you all the pictures in the windows folder and subfolders, look it up in the previews, click it and look for the file name (probably in properties).
it takes quite a while to load, since due to sense there are a lot of files present in the windows folder, and frankly, i'm not that interested in replacing that file, so i didn't finish it.
another, maybe faster, way might be to open a file explorer like resco explorer or total commander, sort the files in the windows folder by file type, then either open up the first picture and flick through the pictures in Album (or whatever your standard picture viewer is) until you found it OR copy all pictures to the sd card and look it up on the PC in disk drive mode (this might actually be the fastest way).

Found it in Windows folder with the help of Pictures & Videos application and the .png is called Default_person. Replaced it and now i got a decent default pic for incoming calls. Thank you very much. Topic can be closed.
