[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"

[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"
Hi,
got my HD2 yesterday and have been toying since to set it up the way I'm used to with my previous Touch Pro and TytnII before that.
This shows again how spoiled we've been with excellent roms like the Energy Series!
I'm using the same 4GB microSD card I had on the TouchPRo since all my pictures etc are on there but I can't get the pictures displayed in the picture tab of Touchflo.
I redirected all relevant 'location' folders using Advanced Config but after soft reset, the HD2 is still displaying the demo pictures that come with the phone.
New pictures get stored on the storage card, but in the DCIM folder although I also specified the store location to be 'My Pictures'.
I tried both the pre-defined storage card locations in Advance Config, as well as the browse option to go to the relevant folder.
I though maybe it is because I have the Dutch HD2 version (yes, I could not wait as the WWE is only available on the 13th) but I checked and the storage card is named 'storage card', not some Dutch translation.
Anybody have any pointers where I could change this?
thanks a lot.

nobody who could help me? Been looking into the registry past couple of days at HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\image; HKLM\Services\Picture etc... every key seems to point to the right locations; but still when I take a picture, it doesn't show up in the TouchFlo3D interface...
help anyone?

the manual says that you must add a "album" as "favorite album" to show the pics in manila on todayscreen. maybe this is the solution?

I'm not sure this is what you're asking, but here's a quote from the manual:
Captured photos are named using the convention IMAGnnnn.jpg (where ‘nnnn’ is the counter), and are saved to the \DCIM\100MEDIA folder on the storage card.
and
To set a favorite album
The Photos & Videos tab on the Home screen displays photos and video files from the current favorite album. By default, the Camera Shots album which stores the photos and videos you captured using the Camera is set as the favorite album. You can change to another favorite album, if preferred.
1. On the Albums main screen, tap Albums.
2. On the Albums tab ( ), tap the album you want to set as your favorite.
3. Tap Menu > Set Album as Favorite, and then tap OK.
It looks to me like the pictures can be stored on the card, but only in one location and you must specify the location.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your question (I don't have an HD2 to play with yet).

@rebecker - you have almost miss understood The OP wants the Camera software to SAVE the photos into \storage card\My Documents\My Pictures - this does not work, none of the usual reg key changes work.

Default camea picture folder - DCIM vs My Pictures
I also have a similar problem. I've changed HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\EnableDCIM = 0, so that I can use date/time prefix.
After the change, the HTC Album recognize \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures as the default camera folder. However, when I actually took a photo it went to DCIM folder... Not a big deal, but it is just a little annoying.
Any expert here know how to solve this?

Exactly the same problem. The camera saves its shoots to DCIM\100media, and not to My pictures, even if DCIM = 0...

I have 1.43 rom and I have also wanted to change default my picture and my documents folder to the folder on storage card. I didn't made it.
For the photo tab...yes I wanted few thing here too...because everytime I've set the favourite album to the storage card/photos...that was reset everytime I've connected hd2 to pc or when i removed microsd card and put it back...
The only way that I kept my favourite album fixed was with not connecting with usb or removing the card.
Ok...it takes only few seconds to change the favourite album back, but it is very annoying that hd2 doesnt remember the folder...

looks like live mesh mobile works pretty good.
I did something stupid and installed it on the storage card. I'm going to do a whole new install, and try on device to see if there's a difference. I got an error about invalid config, blah blah. it seems to loop on sync since i got the error, but the documents appear to sync anyhow.

You can hide all pictures in a specific folder.
The manual way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462904
Using an app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548841
This is what I do: Use the app to hide all my folders that I need hidden, then export all the registry values under "Ignored" (refer to the manual way). Then, whenever I flash a new ROM, I just import my registry file and the pictures are hidden again.
Also delete the Album cache in \Application Data\HTC\Album to make sure that even the thumbnails are also deleted.

I have a similar problem, not sure if its the same though...
I have in Albums
All
Camera Shots
and
My Device

You have to install mortscript. After you install the 1st app (Hide Folder), there will be a CAB in \Program Files\HideFolder. Install it then run the program (Hide Folder). it is explained in the 1st post where the App is.

Random facebook pics apearing on phone?

WTF i was browsing through my pics today and came across all these random pics from facebook, like folks profile pics and some random album pics, it was under the alums setting and the my device, i mean there was about 300 pics there? How can i delete these and stop them from coming back and whats the reason for this, all i want is the photos i have taken on my phone and any other albums i have uploaded myself to the phone, any advice would be great.

Has something to do with the new version of FB that MS put out. You have a link in the albums for facebook photos. Seems it downloads all your peeps pics. And I mean ALL OF THEM! You should have a folder called fbimage in the mydocs [I think that was the folder] folder on the device. Delete the entire folder. Not sure how to stop it from happening again.
First I saw the folder, I was like "Why the hell does the FBI have a image folder on my device!?!?!"

correct.they're the thumbnails of your fb contacts albums.(picture tab, albums, albums, face book tab.there they all are....flipping hundreds of em!!

yeah i,m using the new ms Fb app it's good but this sucks

This is in the tweaks and tips thread on the first page.
64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset.
Use that and it stops putting them on your storage card. Worked champion for me.
Cheers
Ian

Add the new sting as \Temp using the above tip,

Bump, is there a easier way of doing this? As im not even sure how to get into the Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE part???
Please help

I'm not sure .. I did not test it .. but if I remember correctly, you can set that folder as hidden, and it will stop showing it in Albums. I'd try doing that from PC with HD2 plugged in in sync mode (not mass storage mode).

Where is this folder located i spent ages trying to find it?

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache, Value – \temp\fbimagecache
(mine is imagecache so check yours in Temp Folder)
This will stop it showing in the HTCAlbum.
Install ClearTemp in the option/ settings browse the path to Device/Temp it will delete the cache on startup or you can clean manualy.

\Temp\fbimagecache (device - not storage card)
It's actually real easy to do, with the right software.
Download CeRegEditor for your PC from here. Connect the HD2 via activesync and you can edit the registry on your PC. When you locate the "Ignore" key in the registry tree, just add new string values by right-clicking on the right hand pane. Add one for every folder you want to ignore, but remember that it will also ignore sub-folders. The name can be anything you want - the value should be the folder.

Image nightmare
Hi I am really struggling with the facebook images appearing in my htc albums, ive tried the above registry tweak to ignore but it doesnt seem to work, please can anyone help me rid my hd2 of his pain.Thanks. x

[Q] Gallery showing photos in reverse order

I've done a search but can't see anything... I've uploaded various photo albums to my new TF, but for some reason each album is shown in reverse order (i.e. it's coming up with the end of our holiday first and the first photo is right at the end!)
The EXIF contains the correct datestamps and the filenames are alphanumerically in the correct order (i.e. Holiday001.jpg, Holiday002.jpg, etc). I've even played with the order in which I copy them over - makes no difference.
All I can think is that it's deliberately ordering them back-to-front, but I can't seem to find any option to change this (it seems bonkers that this would be the default and with no option to put it back to normal?)
I've also installed Quickpic which is okay for viewing, but it doesn't help in situations where the phone uses the gallery to select a photo, etc.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Saved picture mail not showing up in galley

Not sure why this is happening. When ever I save a picture it said it's saved to device storage but when I go to the galley there's nothing there. I have to go my files and find it in the download folder
Love the 90s good times

You may need to go into your gallery settings and select your download folder as a place to look for pictures. I know when I first setup my phone I didn't like how the gallery showed album art and other pix I didn't want in the gallery so I went into settings and unchecked a lot of folders.

Also make sure there's not a ".nomedia" file in the folder...gallery will ignore those folders. You should already know if it's there, but worth checking.
