For anyone who came from an HTC WinMo device, in the more recent ones the camera app had the option in the Camera settings to name photos using the date and numerical order of the photo, i.e.: 20100806_001.jpg.
This was GREAT for sorting photos easily even if they don't have a time stamp as part of the actual photo, and also ensured that when switching between various roms, the naming of the photos remained consistent and there was never an issue. This was even more important for me as I sort my photos into folders within the sd card file structure, i.e.: /sdcard/my documents/family photos
With the Dinc, it only wants to name photos IMG0001.jpg and progress in numerical order. So when I flash a new rom, it always wants to start over at IMG0001.jpg. So now whenever I try to move new photos from /DCIM/ of course I have to go through the tedious process of renaming all of them to keep from overwriting older photos with the newest ones.
Is there ANY way to change the file naming used by default in the HTC Camera application?
Hi!
I found something weird when I was surfing my images by htc albums … I had faced to this problem, bug, or whatever you call in my computer’s win7 before, but in my HD2 that is really huge! … the problem is that image thumbnails are not updated, means if you have a cropped or edited image, you will see the thumbnail as the original image! … I cannot give you a screenshot of that from my ppc cause the images are something private, a friend sent them to me, and I’ve not checked this problem for other images but I can give you the screenshot (attachment, it is not mine, i have found it as an example) which shows the problem in windows7 pc just to know what I mean!
But as I said, this problem in htc albums is more obvious. Cause I could see the thumbnails showing the original images which for I was not able to see those thumbnails even in win7 pc … in fact I thought they are ok cause they were ok in pc (thumbnail and image were matching each other) but as I brought them in htc album, found out they were cropped!
you can check it if you have some pics which are cropped or edited … put them in a folder in your ppc … go to htc albums, now you can see the thumbnails differ from the original images … to see more original images; click on one of them, try to quickly go to the next images … it will take fraction of a second to load the images so it shows temporarily the thumbnail (which has lower resolution), quickly tap and hold the screen to stop loading image!!! Now you can watch the thumbnail how long you want … holding the screen try to go to the next images (drag the image to the right or left in landscape and up or down in portrait … for a moment release ur finger and quickly tap and hold the other side of the screen by another finger, now you can drag the next thumbnail to the center of the screen without loading) and watch all the cropped or edited images in original type, one by one!
This can be annoying, and for someone like me may be useful!
I wanted to know, how can I have those thumbnail freely?? I mean without trying to watch them like that! I want the thumbnails separately! Any idea?
Sorry if I have not chosen the right place to post my thread!
Thanks for attention!
I can see two causes.
HTC album can have problems with refreshing thumbnails. If the file has same name as some picture which was in the same folder, there could be a problem.
The other cause could be that JPG can have thumbnail inside. Some album software can use this thumbnail, instead of creating it's own. As HTCAlbum is pretty fast in displaying thumbnails, I guess it is the case.
Then it is problem of the editing software. It cropped the image, but left the old thumbnail. Try to safe the image to BMP and then open the BMP and save it to JPG again .. that should remove the inlined thumbnail no matter what.

thanks for reply!
the images have been cropped by windows xp photo viewer, the crop tool!and have been edited by windows xp paint! i have searched for this problem and found out the other programs like windows7 live photo gallery will cause to this problem!
i said i dont really want to solve this problem, i wanna have these thumbnails separately! ... don't you know where htcalbum saves the thumbnails?? cause windows7 (pc) explorer shows some of the thumbnails (original image) but htcalbum shows almost all the thumbnails in original type!!and even in higher resolution in comparison to pc thumbnails!
in computer, i have tried to refresh the windows thumbnails cache to update them but no use!
anyway, i want to find where those thumbnails are saved in winmo!
seems no one can help!
I am running windows 7 and when i take pics from my camera on mytouch 4g it is
makeing duplicate copies of the same pic i just took. When i transfer to my computer it shows up as a two different resolutions of same pic. So i went to astro file manager to find where is it saving two different copies of the same pic. This is what i found. sdcard/DCIM/.thumnails and 100media. Why is the phone saving under thumnails and 100media idk. Plz someone help. I already did hard reset. Also i call tech support and they don't know why is my phone doing this.
Every device, even your PC, creates thumbnails in order to display the pics quickly and seamlessly at a resolution that is more manageable than 5 MP. Did you not know the purpose of a thumbnail?
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!
H all,
I just plugged my Note 3 into my PC to transfer some WhatsApp pictures. I go to The WA images folder and notice that some (the majority) of photos from recently are missing. Instead there are photos taken weeks ago but they 'newer' dates.
An example.. I have an image called "IMG-20140819-WA0017" but this has the thumbnail of the image I received months ago which is called "IMG-20140628-WA0075". The one dated yesterday will not open either "Windows photo viewer will not open.."
Each time I refresh the folder on Windows I can have different results, images will hide/show, older images will show up again.. its a massive mess.
I just got sent a picture of a car. The folder thumbnail on my PC is the car. I go into "resources" under properties on the image and it says "Thumbnail" and the image isn't a car. I open the picture, it loads and shows the wrong image ??
I hope this makes some sense.. has anyone experienced something similar before?
