So when I take a screenshot, I can expand the notification and share, I can also open it in gallery and share.
However when I download an image, the expand is not available - even if I open the image it doesn't allow me to share. It seems to be in some sort of Gallery view that isn't complete.
My only option is to go manually into gallery, look for it and share.
Just wondering if I'm missing something, or if there is anything I can do besides switching gallery apps?
Maybe a custom ROM has this?
After moving all my pictures from my One X to the Nexus 4 they wont order correctly when sorting by date. This is a problem in the stock gallery as well as in Quick Pic. I've always ordered my photos by date in descend order but the phone doesnt seem to be reading the dates on the photos correctly. Even tried the "Fix Date" option in quickpic but it makes no difference. Anyone else experiencing this or know of any way to fix it so it ready the EXIF data correctly? Its annoying having to hunt through my pictures for one that was taken days ago. :/
I think when you copied them onto the new device it refreshed the dates.

I suspected the same except when I view the details of the pictures in quick pic the correct dates are there
Apparently the problem is that neither Gallery nor QuickPic sorts the pictures by EXIF date but by "file modified date". According to the author of QuickPic the "fix date" feature does not work on Nexus 4 because of the EXT4 file system.
If you still have your old phone then the easiest way to fix this problem is the following:
1. Copy all your new pictures made by the Nexus 4 to your PC.
2. Delete all the pictures on your Nexus 4
3. Copy the pictures from your old phone one by one in the desired order to your Nexus 4
4. Copy your new pictures from your PC in the desired order too
That should make them appear correctly in the Gallery.
Thanks for the info. I ended up downloading an app that lets you edit the date modified and have been slowly changing the dates. Its a big job though with hundreds of pictures. Honestly I've just learned to live with it, all new photos are in order anyway.
Which app is it? I'm interested too

Or you could edit the dates on a computer and then adb push them back to your phone.

Had the same issue
How can you change the date modified with Photo Editor? The only way I found in it was too totally change all the attributes including the file name to NOW but not to some time in the past.

You can type in the DateTime field and manually input the date you want. No need to edit any other field.
Hmm... I'm probably missing something here, maybe you can point me in the right direction?
Here is what I'm doing:
1. I open photo editor
2. I click on file browser or on gallery (tried both of them) and select the picture to modify
3. I click the save button (the floppy disk icon in the top right corner)
4. I chose MODIFY
5. The EXIF editor opens showing me 3 DateTime fields which all contain already the correct date and time the picture has been taken
6. I click OK and Overwrite
The result is that this picture jumps to the top of my list in gallery or QuickPic as it is the newest file modified. Checking the folder with a file manager the date of the picture is actually NOW and not the taken date from the past.
As you need root access to modify the "date modified" and this app does not request root access, this does not even come as a surprise to me.
I'm just really wondering how you manage to accomplish our goal.

anyway, there's a lot easy way to fix it than renaming hundreds of photos one by one.
So I went to change my wallpaper on my G Pad 8.3 and I noticed that there were a bunch of thumbnails in my gallery. Now, I recently downloaded unicon and Flatee icon pack on my N4. I believe the offending thumbnails come from that app. These are the only images that are syncing from drive. I have looked through the drive app and looked through my N4 to find where these originated so I can delete them, but can't find them anywhere. Someone please helo me out as I now have 100 images syncing across my devices and want to remove them. Thanks
Edit: It's not actually the app I thought it was. Drive shows the date as a couple of weeks ago....before I downloaded the app. However, those are thumbnails for an icon pack, no? Flatee was the first one ive ever downloaded and that was today. Unless drive is showing the date that the developer synced the images to drive? Any help appreciated!
By default screenshots are saved to the camera location, so Google Photos automatically backs them up.
How do we change that location?
Bump....
This is very annoying
I have the same issue - any workarounds?
Any?
I thought I was the only person this bothered. And it's weird because it doesn't do this on any older galaxys
There doesn't seem to be an option to change the location where screenshots are saved, no.
Just turn off auto backup in Google photos.
Or just stop taking screenshots of women full stop.
Mine saves to folder named "Screenshots", so not sure why yours would be different? Now, if Google backs up screenshots directory to cloud, take it up with Google, maybe there is a setting to choose which directory should be saved (cam pictures are saved to directory /DCIM/camera, screenshots to /DCIM/screenshots ), I don't use cloud for back up, since I use my laptops for that, so can't help you with settings.

Haven't tried this bug you can do a symbolic link from internal to sfcard for whatever folder you want using ln command.
PinSync
Hi, I was looking into this issue today and just found a solution. It's an App called PinSync. ( I can't post links yet... look for it on the PlayStore.)
It detects whenever a screenshot is taken and instantly moves it to another folder, so it's not displayed or uploaded into Google Photos.
I hope it helps you guys as well...
Try below:
Go to the DCIM folder, then Sreenshot folder. At the screenshot folder, add a new file with the name " .nomedia".
It does not change the storage location of screenshot files, but the screenshots will not be displayed in Camera anymore.
I think Google Photo should add an option of how often to backup pictures. Some pictures like screenshots are not meant to be saved for a long time.

Use Automate or Tasker

If you don't fancy paying 89p for PinSync from the Google Playstore, you can download Automate for free, and very quickly and easily make a script that moves any files that appear in one folder to another
Try to move it and move it back again it's work for me

How to add new file ?
I've found that if you are really hellbent on using Google Photos and save your photos to the SD Card via your stock camera app, then when you view the "Library" on the Google Photo app there are two Camera folders. The one without the SD Card icon is where the Screen shots will reside, and the one with the SD Card icon are where your camera photos will be.

Not yet, but I've fed back to Google to update their Photos app. Check out Google Files app. It does categorise the Screenshots folder, so I'm pointing it out to Google dev to address it. It is kind of silly..... Why do they do this for one app and not the other?
Only 48 megapixel mode saves pictures but nothing else will save. Has anyone else been having this issue? Any fix?
It ended up being a corrupted file in the dcim folder. I renamed the dcim folder (just added backup to the name) and everything started working as expected again.
Photo not save oneplus 8pro
Image not collected
I can take a picture. Turn off the power and turn it back on.
Anyone know how, please tell me.
