Above link takes you to a video showing the X1's features.
At 3:45 minutes into the vid, he starts showing a picture album with many super-cool features!
Who can tell me what the hell this album is and where I can get it?
Edit: After closer inspection it seems to be the camera album, but mine looks nothing like it.
I would love to be able to use that as my standard picture viewer.
If i am not mistaken that feature is part of the Media Panel
yeah id agree thats the media panel.
Thought it was the slideshow panel at first, but it's not.
Yeah its the Media panel
Ok, in mediascape under the photo section "My photos" there is a "more" tab in the top right corner. In this section I have gone in and organized all my photos into albums. However there is also all of my music album cover art in this section as well. Is there any way to omit the album art? If I wanted to look at that id be in the "music" section of mediascape......right??
"id be in the music section"...well yes and no.
the images are for music so I can see your theory but at the end of the day the images are still that so willl be read as that by the app.
as for omitting them, sorry dude. . I gave up on mediascape when I got the phone!
Ok hopefully someone takes another look here as I have yet another question. Maybe not mediascape related though. Can you upload photos that you take with the phones camera to picasa web albums? I can see my albums in mediascape but so far cant seem to find any way to upload. Is this possible or is this yet another lame limitation of SE app being able to integrate with goggles? The latter would not surprise me seeing as even googles own services aren't seamless. So much potential, just not quite there yet.

Its not necessary to have a cover.jpg or folder.jpg in the music folders. write the Coverarts in the ID3 Tags and delete the jpgs, then they will be gone.
??? As for Picassa, just tap on photo, tap on mail icon, Picassa is one of the options.
As for music album covers, I use media Go to get the covers. Don't have folder for that on photo tab.

If you're using Google Apps, you can use Picasa Tool from the market to upload pics.
For album art, you can put the cover in the mp3 tag using pc or Album Art Grabber (had been discussed in other thread).
I got the majority of the albumart through mediascapes "get album art".
Ill try some of your suggestions.hopefully I can figure out what you mean. Thanks

For the life of me I can't get the gallery to refresh after I add pictures to my pictures folder. Am I missing something or is this yet another bug?

Took me 2 days to get some imported cam pics to show up.
Try killing the gallery in the task manager. Also try rebooting.
Android gallery has always been crap if not for picasa integration it would be totally useless. Try quick pic. Ugly but very functional.
Thanks..... I tried killing with task manager but no go.
Maybe I should just use Picasso... good lord.
I tried 3d gallery and it wont display correctly at all. Ill check out that apple you mentioned.

Quick pick will work great for me. Thanks again.
Is there any app to view JUST Picasso pics that you know of?
*edit* Picasso tool works, but osmotic made for tab.. either way better than the pic delay of the stock gallery.

Did you copy it from pc to tablet or form different location on your tablet to gallery folder?
If the second option don't use any file managers from the market. Instead use file manager that is included in touchwiz.
Don't know why but all other file managers don't move cache when moving photos.

I did not use the stock file explorer, I used file explorer HD and in this case copied from SD card to the pictures folder.
Ya know, I like the idea of using qucik pic and picassa tool. I can upload to picassa from quick pic and when viewing I can use picassa tool, gallery, web , etc...
With quick pic I can easily hide or remove folders so I don't have this cluster of unwanted pics
I just demo ed the gallery from my media folder all together.
Kind of lame but it is what it is. ...

Use stock explorer and you will notice that there is no problem with photos. Don't know why but I didn't have this problem on transformer.. Weird

Android uses an internal database to remember multi-media files (pics, music and video) so that built-in apps like Gallery, Music and Video players can show them regardless which folder they are located. If you copied any such type of files to the tab using 3rd party tools that does not trigger media scanning, those files will never show up in these apps until next time media scanning runs.
On my Samsung Galaxy S phone, such media scanning is done everytime you power up the phone or disconnect the USB connection in mass storage mode. It is a slow and painful process on the phone.
On my GT 10.1, this process has been some what improved mainly because there is no USB mass storage mode. The default MTP mode will automatically update the database when file transfer occurs. The built-in File Explore can also properly update the database. But if you use 3rd party tool, chances are they will never trigger a media scanning process.
It doesn't matter which folder you copied your pictures into.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't want to sound like I'm shooting the messenger here... But... that sucks.
Really, I already have too many options to "open with". The last thing I want to do is remember to use the original file explorer to deal with pictures.
I'm really started to be reminded of a certain apple product... you need an app for that.
If someone just streamlined all the apps to work as one they'd have my money.
In any event thanks for your reply....
Media scanning is part of Android OS design. This is poorly designed and poorly implemented, IMO. On my phone, everytime I power up the phone, it renders my phone unresponsive for a minute or two (depending on how many files and whether or not I have an external SD card). The scanning process needs to scan the entire file system to make sure every media file is indexed in the database.
FWIW I worked around this issue with one of the random market apps for SD updating. There's a number that work, basically it just initiates a refresh manually. Alternately you can plug it into your PC with USB and then unplug it.
Got the name of any of those apps?
I realized you can't change the lock screen from anything but the stock gallery.....

SDRescan, one of the oldest, still usefull apps in the market.
Rescan Media, pretty much the same app with a nicer icon and an auto quit option.
Is there an widget that will allow me to see which downloaded movies I have on my tablet in Thumbnail view.
Check out "Mizuu" from Android Market.
Thanks it is what I was looking for I had it before and love it.
Hello heres why i just found out.When i play some clip on youtube music or whatever when ever i hit the windows key the music stops and the screen goes back to my metro menu.But why the hell the music of the clip stops.Im playing music all day long in youtube and its quite annoying for meh and i just noticed that..
Can i "fix" this thing /
Same with me and it does the same on IE10 app. the onyl thin i can suggest is to use youtube on the desktop :/
Well thats too bad because chrome was the only metro program that i was using..
I think that's because all Metro apps are 'paused' when they lose focus, the way it happens on WP7. I think I read about this somewhere a while back, can't remember where.
It's because windows 8 will feature app switching on metro apps so when you leave a metro app, it will just "Pause" and it will resume when you go back. Same thing happends to WP7 and Android, leave an app and it will pause to save RAM space
