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 all, so I am forced to use the DCIM settings for saving my pictures, and I am looking for a way to start the image count to a specific number, to start off where I last left off before I flashed a new rom.
I have been looking in the registry for this but can not find it.
Before, with my TP2 I was using the save location of My documents and the camera app allowed me to set the prefix of the images to the date and time, but when I use the DCIM image storage location, I do not have that option.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
I used this post to do it on my TP2. You need to find the relevant bit for the HD2 counter. Hope this helps.
Dear XDA peeps,
I have a small problem with my Legend. When I check the photos in my gallery it saves them (sometimes) twice. I noticed that this only happens with photos I posted on Twitter using the Twitter for Android app (with Twitpic as photo sharing service).
When I look at the details of the photo it says with the original photo (named "IMAG****" (* being digits)) that it is saved in "/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA" and the duplicate (named with random digits) is saved in "/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera". Also the size of the duplicate is smaller than the original.
Any ideas how I can shut this off? I looked in the settings everywhere and coulnd't find a solution. With over 400 photos now, this gets annoying and it just fills my SD card with unnecessary doubles.
I have a Legend running the official 2.2 update, no ROMs, unrooted.
Thanks ;-)
Josh
