Organizing Pics with Folders - Xperia Z2 General

Ok the issue im having is all my pics are together. All I iwant to do is organize them with folders. For example. I want to make a folder just for Family Pics. I also want to make a folder where I just put my friend pics in. Right now im running File Commander. It came loaded in the phone when I got it. I can go right to the picture button and all my pics are right there. But why cant I create folders to organize them. Its so simple. I can rename pics and do almost anything else except put them in seprate folders. Does file Commander not have this feature? Do I have to download a different program that stores all the files (sorry i dont know what you call the file commander program) All I want to do is organize my photos and put them in the proper folders so they are easier to find.
I am very new to this so please explain it clear and simple.

Download Quickpic. Much better and easier.

It's now also possible using the latest Sony Album app (7.0+), as stated in talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Album/creating-folders-for-photos/m-p/946641#M1515.
In Album --> Folders select one or more pictures from a gallery and choose 'move to' in the options menu. You can select either an existing or a new folder as destination.

How to hide pictures?

Hello,
I have some pictures of my girlfriend when shes naked on my phone and i dont like that when i open my photos & videos first thing you see is my girlfriend naked. Its pretty annoying if my friends uses my phone and i cant let them go see pictures becouse im not that kind of boyfriend So is there any way to hide pictures / make folder with password? And sorry for my bad english i hope you guys understand.
like your honesty!!!
using file explorer.. go to...
(depending where your pictures are stored)
cut and paste the pictures contained in DCIM\100media\
into a new folder somewhere else on the storage card.. and it will no longer appear in the image gallery

64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
It just hides a folder from the album app. You can still manually browse to it with file explorer, for example, and open images from there.
Hope this helps

Haha =D you wish
i edited thet registry key but i'm having troubles.. while it is actually hiding pictures in htc album, they are still showing up in manila's tab, am i doing something wrong?
WinRar the files. You can even put a password on it so that if you loose the phone no one can see the pics. I found it the easiest and most secure way to hide your girlfriends pictures.

Free app to protect pictures
Hi,
Search for an app called FreeOTFE4PDA. It allows you to create a fully encrypted, password protected folder on your card. This can then be mounted as a storage card when needed. Within this you can create folder and do anything else you can do on a storage card. The important part is of course that you can not mount it if you do not know the password.

i run both windows and android, so what i'm trying to do is to hide android's gallery cache files (why did developers think that using readable jpg files as cache would be a good idea in the first place?)
that's the reason i want them to remain accessible for android use, but still don't want them to fill my windows photo tab with duplicates, so no rar storing can solve my problem
i fear i'll have to give up the 3d glory of android's gallery due to this stupid issue...
Use Total Commander, find the pictures, press & hold a picture, tap Properties, check the box "Hidden", press OK. The pictures can only be accessed through Total Commander.
It's a good thing my 900th post went to a good cause!

That's exactly the problem i'm having. You just have to keep the photos rarred while you using android. Not the perfect solution, if you find a better 1 i'm interested too.

1)Change the extension to some other (from jpg to ipg in example). So no one program will open it. When you need it change again to jpg.
2)make it hidden or system

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

how are your folders organized on memory card?

what is the best way to organize your memory card
how to name your folders fro easier navigation and so they show up in phone's apps by default.
like picture and video folders .
and what are default HD2 folders?
please all yaalll show your folder structure on the card how it is setup.
heres what i have.
audio
books
DCIM
documents
downloads
ebooks
manuals
my documents
program files
videos
zero ( unsorted folder) zero is to make it last in line.
Mine is almost identical to yours (I call "audio" music, and only have an "ebooks" folder).
The only one I have extra is one called "Cabs", which I generally strip out an dput on my PC every couple of months, but until then it's a respository of ones I've tried and liked since my last ROM flash.
I also keep all unsorted files (and also videos) in the root of the drive, but I may start being more organised, and have a "z_More" folder too
ALLWAYSON - for programs that dont need to be installed, like notepad.exe, my provxml files, sendandrecieveall.exe, GPRSEnabler/disabler, googlemaps (I use teh 'fake google maps'using VJBrisk tweak in my rom to allow google maps to run from there, and so not need reinstalling every time i hard reset)
Programs in this folder have hardcoded quicklinks cooked into my ROM to them.
AUTOINSTALL - all my most used cabs live in there, and the cooked roms auto install them whenever i hard reset. Things like resco, opera, MYTWEAKS.cab
CABSTORE - for cabs that i want to have with me, but dont always need to have installed
DCIM - default images folder
INCOMING - my registry tweaks (MYTWEAKS.CAB) point opera and bluetooth to download everything to this folder.
MUSIC - pretty self explanatory
PROGRAM FILES - again, says it all in the name
SCRAP - like a temp folder, i empty it weekly or so.
where does winmo store its wallpapers?
its hella annoying to go thru the whole folder sequence every tie you close the album since thres no back button from full screen preview.
im mostly trying to figure out how to store images and where
i setup my wallpapers by size(480x800 folder name)
when i tried to use that folder as a default for my wallpapers from cht it shows blank album with no pictures...

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.

[Question] OnePlus Gallery possible to change folder image?

A week ago I got my new OnePlus 6T 128GB/8GB in Thunder Purple and so far I love every moment of it and the design, only app that actually is letning me down is OnePlus' own Gallery app.
I want to be able to change the picture shown on the folder in Collections in the OnePlus Gallery app for personal reasons, and I cannot seem to figure out why and I hope anyone here knowns if it's possible.
If you have Tasker I would try to use that to automate file moves. If you don't, I highly recommend the app, it's extremely powerful especially if you spend some time learning about it!
Create a sub folder where you put the photos you don't want to see. Main folder illustration image will not be taken from subfolders.
My OnePlus 6T ain't rooted and I am not planning to do so.
Oki I cannot get the subfolder inside a folder to work maybe I am dum tried with the file manager.
I tried a subfolder inside the folder I want and copied a picture to it and it showed up as a regular folder ??
Add an empty file named '.nomedia' in the subfolder it will prevent media scanning (with the . at the beginning don't forget it)

Hmm I want it to still be showed in the gallery just in collections I have a folder called like Walls and then a subfolder called colours or windfall.
It's just that the folder shows the newest picture in it and I am not happy about that. This is the only complain I have really.
