camera and gallery - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
short question.
If i open the camera and take photos etc. i can open the gallery from the camera app. but is it possible to only show photos from "DCIM" folder there?
I hate seeing every whatsapp image in the camera app.
thanks in advance

Create an empty file called ".nomedia" inside the whatsapp image folder. That file will prevent the images from showing up in your gallery app.

There are other galleries out there that are pretty good, and group the pictures in folders.
I use F-Stop as my default gallery... You can hide folders/albums by simply long-press > Hide . "QuickPic" is good, "A+ Gallery Photos & Video" is good, "Piktures" is also good.
I'm sure there are other really good ones too, but those are the ones I typically rotate between, and have for a few years. As mentioned, right now I like F-Stop the best. Some are free, some cost to unlock "features".
Or do as the post above me mentioned with the .nomedia in that particular folder.

HTC photo album

Hello!
Does someone know how to manage pictures in the photo album, like rearrange pictures into folders?
I try to put folder in the My images folder, hoping they would appear into the photo album, but it won't. I would like to show someone, for exemple, only a couple of pictures, using this fabulous photo album finger friendly, but all my pictures appears...
Advices appreciate

Yep Same here.. moved all my pictures all in nice subfolders to the My Images folder.. but indeed.. the all appear without any folder structure.
Starting up takes a while now and finding the pictures is very hard.
Too bad.. i'm moving back to the old picture viewer.
Beeing possible to navigate through subfolders would be very helpfull.
Anyone know a 'hack' for this?
i'd like a hack for this as well, i synced my picture collection of over 300 images to my touch dual and i have to scan through all 300. would be nice to see folders
same prob here. i had to use tcpmp finally. what a pity for not able to use the touchflo features.
HTC photo album can only read from MyPictures folder in device and
DCIM folder in the storage (using digital camera format)
Thats not so I use it to view pictures from MY PICTURES on my SD card as I use the MY PICTURES on the phone for something else. May I offer a suggestion to the people wanting to use folders,why not just keep the individual folders outside of MY PICTURES till you want to look at it and than import that particular folder? That way theres nothing else but the pictures you want to show............HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
@sneakyp86
what do you mean by "import that particular folder"? a feature of HTCAlbum or just file movement? thanks
start --> programs --> pictures and videos
it's the only way i know if i wanna show some pictures inside a folder, sadly we cant configure it in touch cube

[Q] View Photo Gallaries as Sub-Folders

I have many different pictures that I would like to view on my Droid X similar to how they would be viewed in thumbnail view in Windows. For example, on my droid I have the following folders on my SD card.
\2011
\2011\Birthday Pictures
\2011\Football Games
\2010
\2010\Christmas
\2010\Vacation Photos
\2009
You get the idea. I would like to view these folders as albums, but in order of hierarchy. If I open "2011" I would see any photos in that folder, but then could select "Football Games" and then view those as thumbnails. So far every android app I have used takes all of my folders, turns each one into an album, and throws them all together on the same page, which is cumbersome if you have a lot of pictures organized into many folders.
Any suggestions?
Are you just wanting to view them as thumbnails, or in a fancier format?
If you just want to quickly scroll through thumbnails, just use your file manager app, whether it be root explorer, stock file manager, or one of the many others available in the market
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, I tried that and it wasn't very good (using Astro). I was hoping for something a little fancier, but no more features than say QuickPic offers.

[Q] Any way to hide albums in the gallery?

I have a few different "Albums" (folders) that I like to be able to see in the Moto gallery app, but when I click on settings > Albums, it shows EVERY folder that has a picture or video in it. Which means every music download folder I have shows up since it has album art and every video/movie shows up that is in a different folder. So I have 100+ albums to scroll through to find the ones I want.
I tried deleting them, from within the gallery, but it deletes the actual folder on your phone/SD card....In the HTC gallery, you could use a feature called "Hide albums".......Is there anything like this for the Moto gallery?

if your albums are in different folders you could make a file using es file app and name it .nomedia and it wont show up in your gallery app. but if all your pics are in the same folder then none of them would show up in gallery.

No, they're all different folders. I have my basic folders I want to keep: Camera, Pictures (which I keep older pics in), Screenshots, Downloads, Wallpapers, ect... Then I have 97 music albums, each in it's own folder on my external SD card and then a "Movie-TV" folder with sub-folders in it: Doctor Who, Fringe, X-Files, and other nerd titles. All of these show up in my gallery.
I'll try the .nomedia trick, but adding that to 100+ folders is going to take a few minutes.... I was hoping there was an easier way, like there is on the HTC.

as far as I know this is the only way
You could just use quickpic gallery? It's nice, quick and light. And allows you to hide folders in bulk. It adds a .nomedia to them.
Also... If all the folders you don't want to see are in a single folder, you could put the .nomedia at the top level to have the others ignored...

Yeah, I've used QuicPic before and really liked it... I've heard some "bad things" about the latest update, or at least the new company that bought it?? I may give it a try anyways, I have nothing against a new company unless they introduce ads or something?
I also found the HTC Once M9 gallery and camera that works perfect on the MXP... I may just use that. The camera seems to work pretty well with our phones too, I may have it for my 2nd camera....and for when I hand my phone to someone to take a pic of me and they ask "where's the picture button"?
Creating a .nomedia file in the Music folder works.

Just got a used MXP last night after I broke the One Max I had been using and there weren't any good One Max's for sale. Big screen, stereo speakers, sd slot.... perfect. Had all previous HTC phones back to ppc6800.
I miss my gallery and Music HTC apps. I have 50gb of organized cd's on my sd card and I see the pictures in the gallery as all separate folders. I renamed my old sd card camera pictures folder from 100 media (htc save location) to camera (mxp save location) and it shows my camera roll with all 4,000 pictures and whatnot and adds new pics right inline. Kind of solved my gallery problem if I just stay out of the "albums" spot and just leave it on "Camera roll"... I now have camera roll, and videos as separate spots, but that doesn't help for screenshots or downloads so much. Don't use those that often I guess anyways.
The old HTC Music app would just simply be a music player and not mix in download/online material and try to sell me stuff. Its showing albums twice in my list as some are online and some are downloaded. I often go up north out of cell range for all weekend and play music in the truck and cabin the whole time. Streaming isn't an option so i'm in the minority that still buys lots of cd's (digitally) and downloads them and keeps an sd/computer/ full. Open the old music app hit one play button and it was back on the shuffle all, or a quick scroll down through all artists and whatnot to pick an album.
I know its the first day and I will get used to it. Man, I'm b*tching alot. haha.
Where did you find the camera and gallery files... and can you find the music app too?? I'm sure there are good 3rd party apps too, I just haven't had time to play with the new device yet besides setup.
Thanks!

Hey man, it's been about 6 months since I had my MXP (have a Nexus 6P now).. But, I believe there are some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
If you can't find what you want there, you can search that sub-fourm and I know there is another one or two threads of HTC apps floating around in that section.
Good luck!

This is amazing, Thanks for the lead.
I was holding out for the new Nexus devices later this year but the One max just wouldn't make it. ha

Camera gallery showing all pictures

I've seen other threads on this but no fix for it yet. When I open my camera, and then click on the gallery preview it shows me every single picture on my device, not just pictures I've taken. I don't really want to show people game screenshots or porn I downloaded when I'm trying to show them a picture of my dog. Is there any fix for this other than adding .nomedia to every folder, which also disables me sharing pictures in other apps?

Sorry about that but you can try any AppLocker for your Gallery app.
Try search: AppLocker on Google Play Store.
Regards.
You can download every pic of porn in the secure folder, if you like take candids for example, the photos you take in secure folder go directly to your secure gallery, the pictures you downloaded go directly to your secure gallery etc... I hope you understand me because i'm spanish speaker.

Perfect Gallery App??

I would like to know if there is any perfect gallery app in which the portrait photos don't come up as separate albums instead of it shows in gallery. I am using GCam and found the issues with all gallery apps I had used but I found the OnePlus Gallery show exactly what I want but unfortunately directly installing apk from Oneplus didn't worked. Anyone having any solution or working gallery which shows both portrait and original photo inside Camera folder instead of different folder?
I had created this thread because I found so many people using Gcam but no one had asked about this kind of Gallery app.
Will be very thankful if anyone have gallery like this.
