I just copied over my Camera directory from my Galaxy Nexus to my new N4, but when I view the Gallery on the N4, the thumbnails are grouped with all videos first, then images after. Newly taken images show up before the videos in the first slots as normal. I also tried to empty the Gallery cache and rebooted, but they are still grouped this way.
Is this just how the N4 Gallery works now? Kind of annoying to have to scroll through all of my videos to see my older pictures. Everything should just be chronological like it was on the Galaxy Nexus. My view is set to the default grid view if that matters.
Anyone else seeing this issue?
ok, I think I figured it out. For some reason I am unable to connect my GNex to my Mac using the Android File Transfer app, so I used Airdroid instead to zip the /Camera directory and download it to my Mac instead. I think Airdroid changed the timestamp on the files in doing so, and since the videos took longer to compress/download, they got stamped with the most recent timestamp.
I think the custom ROM (Liquid 412 rc7) is preventing me from connecting to my Mac normally. Looks like I have some digging to do!
Hmm, I connected to my Windows laptop and was able to copy the /Camera from the GNex fine, then back to my N4 /Camera, rebuilt the cache and still have the videos all displayed first!
Anyone else have this problem? Or know of a way to get the Gallery to list the thumbnails of images and videos based on creation date?
TIA.

Is it possible to alter the thumbnails of the videos on the Tab?
my 3 year old uses it a lot (so obviously he can't read) and I have quite a few videos on there, I would like to alter the thumbnails to another part of the video like I do with the ones for his iPod (I'm trying to ween him of the iPod and onto the Tab, he already uses my Desire more than the iPod)
can anyone help with this?
for example he has 9 videos on there that are spin-offs to the Disney film "Cars" and they all start the same so the thumbnails for them all are the same and there's no filename their either (he can recognise numbers but there's nothing for him to see)
Any help with where the thumbnails are stored and how I can change them?
thanks
I have my each video stored in a folder with a thumbnail image of the movie poster. When I go to my gallery it shows the thumbnails

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you name the thumbnails?
Does it show them in the "video" app?
so ive tried several diff folders and loc. to place my photos in so gallery will recognize them...no luck. can someone tell me where they have their pics stored so gallery will display them. also, how can i get my books covers to not show in my gallery...thanks in advance. and yes, i did search first.
Are you updated to 3.1? I actually have my images on my external sdcard, but in 3.1 theres a Pictures folder, an eBooks folder, etc...I can't remember if it was configured differently in 3.0.
Download sdrescan from the market and after transfering pics use sdrescan...my pics showed up after that.

Yeah... I'm on brd 3.1. ill try rescan..i had my pics in the pic folder but they aren't recognized. And my book covers are in my gallery too... gotta figure this out..
try this
First go to applications / all and find the gallery application. Clear data and force stop. Open the gallery and see if that worked.
If that doesn't work. go applications / all and find the media storage application. clear data. Then open the gallery. Fixed my weird gallery problems.
I just got my 10.1 two days ago. Transferred a few movie files (.mkv & .mp4) into it through MTP (cable connection). I am 100% sure those video files were already inside the tab storage, they even appear in my moboplayer list, none of them appear in my stock video app. It just shows empty. I had no trouble opening those video files via my files and then open through video app.
What should I do?
nobody cares to help?
The stock gallery sometimes needs a reboot before it picks up new video and pictures.
Try using another gallery app like QuickPic, it's faster and has much more functionality than the stock app anyways.
So here's little annoying issue.
When i plug my N4 to PC and access Camera folder i see all the thumbnails of pictures taken with stock camera.
BUT
Thumbnails of edited pictures (edited with that stock N4 app that is accessed in the bottom left screen when previewing) are not showing up on PC!
I have to copy/paste them to my PC's desktop or any other location and thumbnails would be generated as soon as transfer is complete!
Anyone has any idea?
I have recently rooted my Google Nexus 7 (2012) and flashed it with Lineage OS / Android Nougat.
All is fine except the thumbnails of my video files have a green, mauve (or both) tint.
This applies to 99% of .mp4 files, whilst .wmv, .flv and one odd .mp4 files have no thumbnails-
just the standard camera icon.
This is happening irrespective of what file viewer I use. (eg the stock "Files" app or Astro)
Thumbnails of jpeg pictures are ok and unaffected.
I have tried the usual emptying of caches, and deleting thumbnail folders to no avail.
Internet trawl hasn't helped.
Can anyone here please.
