Hi all, so I am forced to use the DCIM settings for saving my pictures, and I am looking for a way to start the image count to a specific number, to start off where I last left off before I flashed a new rom.
I have been looking in the registry for this but can not find it.
Before, with my TP2 I was using the save location of My documents and the camera app allowed me to set the prefix of the images to the date and time, but when I use the DCIM image storage location, I do not have that option.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
I used this post to do it on my TP2. You need to find the relevant bit for the HD2 counter. Hope this helps.

I just noticed that I can't save any photos, but videos recorded with camera works just fine.
I copied all my photos to my computer and deleted all photos from storage card but still no luck. In camera settings storage card is selected and same thing in advanced config. I also uninstalled advanced config to see if there was some conflict but that didn't help either.
I also tried to search photos that i took with Resco Explorer but it seems that photos just aren't saved in anywhere.
Camera program works just fine to the point when picture is taken but after that there is this "multicolor waiting circle" which tells you that WinMo is doing something and the phone freezes about 30 second until it comes back to camera application, but nothing has actually been saved.
I know that Hard reset might fix the problem, but that's the last solution I wanna try.
photo's should be saved where the default Album location is set to, try changing that to the Device\My docs folder..?

They're all in default settings:
Save Location: DCIM
Encode Photos in portrait mode: Yes
Capture Key Delay: Enabled
Key Delay : Enabled
Capture Key Delay Time: 1500
Help anybody?
Just noticed that every other picturemode works just fine, but normal photo mode freezes the device
Well, i had the same problem an i thought it was a problem with the rom update or something like that. But the problem was: i had a DCIM map on my storage card. Strange, because this is the good location but no photo's was saved in here (only on the device self if i had select it). I deleted the map and tried it again to make a picture. And that was the solution. The camera made a new DCIM map and now the pictures are saved on the storage card again.
Camera save problem solved
to avoid problems in saving new photo you have to have this directory structure:
soragecard/DCIM/100MEDIA
open the card with a PC
delete the album file (it is like the thumb db on windows) to see the file you have to set show hidden file
insert the card in the phone and you are ok

unable to save photos
In my case I'm not able to save at all, regardless of what resolution I'm using! Any idea on how to solve it?
sorry to push this old thread,
but now that my touch hd finally arrived i had the same problem, saving the image is not possible, the wait cursor appears, after some minutes disappears and the image wasn't saved.
now i found the malefactor: in schaps advanced config under camera you should change the "encode pictures in landscape (90°)" option. default was set to "NO", so leave it or change it back to it.
i hope this is useful!
[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?
DicE
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).
-Bob-
@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.

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
Hi All,
I've got an interesting problem and I haven't found any hints elsewhere on this site or the interwebs. I have an HTC HD2 and I used the registry mod to enable GPS photos. Latest English ROM and no major mods other than Cookie's Home Tabs (which is awesome). I can take GPS pictures, show them on the map on the phone and upload them to Facebook.
The issue is, I can't find the GPS pictures anywhere on the storage device. All my photos go to /Storage Card/DCIM/Media100, but there are no GPS photos in there.
When I look at my Photo Albums on the native photo viewer, I have two Albums both named Media100. In one of these albums I have all my regular images, the same that show up in the folder listed above. In the other folder, I have all my GPS photos which I can handily view in the album (so I know they're still here somewhere).
If I search the storage card while on ActiveSync, I can find all the GPS photos that I'm searching for, but I can't access them to copy them onto my laptop.
This is a perplexing problem. It looks like somehow I have a memory naming issue and I don't know how to sort it out and I don't want to lose all my pictures. My last resort will be to go through and select each one and email it to myself, but that will take some time.
Any ideas out there?

Hi!
Can anyone recommend a good app to change the EXIF data on pictures saved on the memory card? This is my little problem... I get pictures thru a messaging app WhatsApp and they are saved on the device. Once I copy/move them out of the device memory and move them to my memory card, it changes the date stamp on them and I lose the order they were in originally.
Any app that can change the EXIF data on those picture files? I can copy the files to my laptop and change it there but once I copy them back to the memory card it changes the date again.
Thanks!
How can I delete this? I found what I was looking for already.
