Hi everyone,
My name is Carlos and i'm from Barcelona, and this is my first post here.
I have a HTC Diamond, and i would like to know if there is a way to ignore folders into the HTC Album, because i'm very tired of browsing on dumb folders when i want to see my real photos.
I've read in other threads about putting folders the "Ignore" entry in the registry, but it seems it doesn't works... or maybe i do not know how to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404948
Is there a way to get rid of these folders that i do not want to see? Is there a new version of the HTC album with some kind of folder selector? Or any other third part software to do this?
I'm really desperate on this, because i love the HTC Album, but is really annoying to browse so long to find my photos amongst that crap...
Many thanks!
you can always select the folder you want to browse by clicking "album" (left softkey in htc album) and then select the good folder
Set the "hidden" file attribute on all jpegs in folders you want to ignore.
does the photo viewer pick every single jpeg on the phone by default or does it only show pictures from certain folders - i.e my pictures folder (wether internal storage or located elsewhere).
I got a load of photographs I dont want anyone to see (wink wink nudge nudge) just by picking up my phone and selecting photos.
Ive got to many to mark each one as hidden.
I remember I managed it to work before last hard reset, but now I forget how I did that... I'll look into it and let you guys know if if find anything out
That's just the problem, the album picks EVERY single jpg in the phone, and there's no option to avoid it.
Now I have about 200 folders when i click on Album list, so the album is not useful anymore, i do no not want to waste 3 minutes to browse down in the album list to find that pictures that i'm loking for...
The "hidden" option it doesn't works... too much folders to hide anyway...
The hidden option works absolutely fine on my Diamond. It's the files that have to be hidden not the folders.
if the photos are in internal storage, connect the Diamond to a pc as a USB drive and do a search for all jpeg files from the pc . Select all the search results (or just the ones that need hiding) and right-click to adjust all the properties at the same time.

WOOOOOW !!
Davey101, that was a pretty brilliant idea!!
I thought I should hide folders, not individual files. I follow your instructions to hide all the undesired jpg files. I've seen other folders in the Album with bmp, png ad gif files, and they were also hidden.
Maybe is not the best way to definitely solve this matter, but it seems there is no other one for the moment, and the result is that now i've just have what i want in the Album list. Cool
Many thanks for your help!
Folder Seleting
Also,Dont know if you already know but every photo album folder listed from the album button has the setting to select it has your favourite.Your favourite album will then be accessed from the "photos and videos link from tf3d.Saves searching through lots of folders!

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
I have checked these threads...and the manual - but...
After taking a pic on the N95 and the Omnia there is an option to send pic by Bluetooth.
Is that option also available with the HD?
In viewing pics (album mode) I can send pics I view by Bluetooth on the N95 and the Omnia....is this also available on the HD??
I already know I can go into File Manager and send files as listed by BT....but this way I would have to know specific pic/filename, etc.
Would prefer to BT as sighted......is this possible???
As far as i know, the only way to send bluetooth files is via the File Explorer by right clicking and choosing Beam
Goto to programs you probably have the old "Pictures & Videos" application there, it has an option to beam files.

Excellent.....that is better than nothing...at least I will be able to see the shots first.
However I don't see any of my shots in there - so do I change the default viewing folder or do I put my pics in a particular viewing folder?

OK...I think I have it - if you go to to "Programs" there should be listed the "Pictures & Videos" application, it has the option to beam files.
If the folder shown on opening "Pictures & Videos" does not contain your pics – click on "Menu" and "Go To"...."Folders..."
Browse for the folder housing your pics and you can then view, zoom, etc. and then beam your pics by BT....

Hi all, i want to copy some pictures over from my old phone, but where do i put them, if i put them in the same folder as the rest, the phone does not display them, and they all then get corrupted, i created a folder called pictures, but the phone still does not see them???
Weird?
Within photos and Videos you have to press "Album" twice and then you will see an overview of all the photos on the device or SD-card. If, for example, you have a directory "pictures" on your sd-card it will display and once pressed, it will open with the photos in it. Then choose MENU - Choose album as favorite and you will see that once you enter the Photos and Videos tab, this album is displayed...
In my thumbnail view the pictures look crappy as well, but once opened they look ok.
edit: keep in mind that the photo's tab will only display the first 99 pictures in a map

Put them in the "My Documents" folder (on the phone, not the storage card) and they'll show up in the lists for selecting ringtones and sounds.
Oh now thats a bit daft?, how do you access the my folders on the phone?
Any way to also stop them showing in music player also?
Anybody? I cant access the My Documents on the phone memory?
What do you mean you can't access it? How are you trying ot do it?
They shouldn't show in your music player if you put them in My Documents.
Well when i connect the phone in disk drive mode all i can see is the mem card, if i connect in active sync, i cant see anything?
Ok connected in sync mode after a reset and i can see the folder you said, put my files in there, but still cant see them in the phone menu?
Fount it Do This
Enable Active Sync
My Mobile Device\Application Data\Sounds
But how do i stop the sounds appearing in the audio player its annoying?
Hi:
Whenever I load my album app, folders appear where my pics are categorized.
The problems is that I see a huge list of folders, incluiding album art of all my music, and thumbnails of other apps. So as you can imagine, a pretty long list which takes a while to load each time.
Is there any way to choose what folder to see?
I will like to see: Cam pictures, dowload pictures and video. NO MORE.
I can´t get all the other sillion of folders out!!!
Any suggestion or idea?
Thanks in advance.
I also would like to know how to do this.
Do you have your Music in the folder sdcard/mp3/ ???
You must do that, then it works well.

Hi,
'
Does it matter if the folder is sdcard/MP3?
Is it case sensitive?
EDIT I change de folder name from sdcard/MP3 to sdcard/mp3, turn off the phone, turn it on, and the same thing happens...any other suggestions?
Thanks
Simply create a file and name it ".nomedia" (without quotes). Put it in every folder you don't want to be listed in Albums (or Player)

I´ve connected my hero to my PC, enter the SD Card, enter in the folder where a I have my MP3 sdcard/mp3 an created there, with the note creator, an empty .nomedia file. But it didn´t work....do I hacve to this for all my MP3 folders? Which programs should I use to create de .nomedia file?
Thanks.
I didn't create it myself, found somewhere on android forums. I've attached this file (extract it to desired folder). It worked for me
Excellent!!! It worked!!!
Thanks.
EDIT. .nomedia inside my mp3 folder means no infinite list of album art in the image gallery, but it also meant NO MUSIC DETECTED IN MY SD CARD!!!!!!
SO...there is no way to have both working!!!!!
??????????????
Question
Does it works also in subfolders? 'Cause otherwise it's hard to copy this file everywhere....
You do not need the album art image (jpg) to display a cover in the Musik player at all. The htc music player supports the album art as a tag in the mp3 file. That means you need an mp3tag program to add your cover.jpg (or folder.jpg) to the mp3 file directly. Afterwards you can delete the cover.jpg. Then you have clean folders with mp3 files only in it meaning that the HTC Album does not show the covers anymore but the Music player does.
A great free program for this job can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/
The page is german, though;-)

Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any customisation options in Mediascape that I'm missing. Now that I've started putting photos into folders, I've noticed some annoyances. The Albums categories show photos that I do not want there, such as Album Art from my Music. I know I can fix this by tagging/embedding the artwork properly, but it's still a pain. But the same problem applies elsewhere. For example, I use the Sync2Pix app for bringing Facebook photos into my Contact List. These photos now appear in Mediascape under a 'cache' folder.
Is there no option to specify where Mediascape looks for photos? Or does anyone know where it looks, the memory card only?
Any advice appreciated...
Hi
I use Mixzing for music - i deleted those folders in mediascape which held "album art" and it didn't affect the album art in mixzing.
I think if you went into your photos folders using pc companion you can move your photos around to different folders and change folder names, for the sort of thing you are downloading from facebook, i just made a folder called contact pics and stuck them in there.
Angie
I don't think I can change the Facebook contacts folder as it's the app that is setting it's cache folder. Surely SE can have a simple option to select or monitor certain folders only? Will check out Mixzing though, thanks.
hey how can i dump my own wallpapers in the default wallpapers??
Do this:
On PC, open notepad, then save as .nomedia and save as type: all files
Place that .nomedia file to the folder on x10 that you don't want mediascape to read and that's it.
Dejo, thanks a lot, I thought there might be something like that I could stick in the code, so glad you told me. Will try it out tomorrow. Thanks again.
