I've looked on the registry and tried fiddling but resulted in a) a crash that required a soft reset and b) message saying couldn't save the file when i changed the picture location to \my documents\my pictures.
Whenever I save a picture on the 2i it saves it into a folder in MD with the date as the folder name, with the picture stored in it. Any way to change this?

Did you manage to get a solution to this - I'm looking for exactly the same answer. There is a possible reg key, but changing that caused problems.
Also for me.
I've a Qtek 2020i from few days and I would like to know store all the photos in one folder.
At the moment I set the path of saved photos (SD card) but I want to have all the photos in one foolder instead of multiple photos in multiple folders. :?
Bye !
Still no work around for this ?
No news for me
I never did get an answer no, and I've given up looking for one myself.

I was thinking of creating a small apllication that you could run to move the pictures/movies from the numeric folders to a default folder such as My Pictures, im reading up on how it could be achieved at the moment.
On my xda 2, I made a directory on storage card, and they are all in that folder. What happens with yours? You can prefix it with anything you like, I call mine pic and it increments pic_001 etc. The settings are under camera, then click the spanner/screwdriver, then click tools, then click options. I changed the prefix to string and defined the string in the next box down under prefix string, the folder is changed under folder by clicking change.
For some reason the "Folder" option is missing on the XDA 2i so even though you can select the location (Main memory or storage card) it still saves it in \My Documents\xxxxxxxxxx <--- the x's refer to the date ie
05071800001 , 05(year)07(Month)18(Day) the rest is the folder number i think ? 00001 ?
Why they never used the same configuration as the other phones is beyond me but nevermind !

Trouble changing the path to the SD
Hi there,
I'm using i-Mate JAMin, win mobile 5 and the only available options here are Main Memory and Network. In other words I cannot change to save the photos and videos to the SD card. Please, help!
P.S.: I also tried setting a new path within the registry settings, changed the path to '\Storage Card\My Photos\' with no luck - it creates the directories under the 'My Documents' in the main memory. It's a big pain in the ass b/c I don't have enough space to make lots of photos or clips.
Hi guys!
I configured the camera of my Jam to save the pistures and videos on my SD...
I create My Documents folder on the root of my SD and the camera save the files creating new folder under /Storage Card/My Documents/
That's pretty good but I'd like to configure the camera to put my pictures inside /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures/
Is it possible? How can I do it?
Good luck, I've been searching for this answer for some time, please, please if you find out let me know.
Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".
Regards,
Fossalta
[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit]
Any way to store in storage, not storage card? I mean the internal ROM.
Thanks Fossalta!
Works great...

There's actually a way to do this (to get rid of the dated folders). The latest T-Mobile WWE ROM 1.12.152 has a latest version 2.70 (Build 20117) Camera for PocketPC app by HTC in its Ext_ROM. This app lets you save pictures and videos to any type of memory on your device (Main, Storage, Storage Card) and DOES NOT create dated folders. It saves pictures directly in \...\My Documents\My Pictures.
Oh, and another thing... It also automatically flips display right (landscape mode, camera button on top) when you activate camera. After exit, it automatically reverts to a portrait mode.
Enjoy!!! :lol:
Hi guys!
I'm trying with the tip of registry entry but it doesn't works for me:
I open the given registry path and I chenge the SaveFolder entry from empty to this string: "Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures".
I close the reg editor and start the camera.... I made a test picture but it doesn't save the file with msg: "Unable to save the captured image 36001:500:0".
I open the reg edit and I see that in the SaveTo DWORD is present the value 0... I change it in 1 but seems to doesn't save the value! If I open back the reg editor the value is still 0.
Any idea?
no need to do the reg edit, i've been using that camera patch that guy just uploaded for some time now and it works perfectly. just go under options and set the save path to storage card and it automaticly puts in it storage card/my documents/my pictures also it puts teh camera sideways on the screen so its more comfortable to take pics
Thanks! I'll try it! :wink:
I don'd understand very well what is this cab and what is the extended rom... I just open a new topic for extended rom...

Just download the .cab file to your device and run it. It will install automaically. :wink:
Just installed that T-Mobile patch to my Qtek S100 (1.12) and it works superbly. It had been annoying me for a while that it made the dated folder each time you took a picture.
Now to solve my MMS issues and I'll be totally happy.
S.O.S.!!!!
I just install the cab and my Jam is not working fine now....
The today screen is a mix of other applications screen!!!!
Seems to don't pain well the today screen!
If I lounch the camera I see the some settings of the old configuration... I can select wich memory but not the specific folder...
I made soft reset but the problem of the today screen persist.... How can I make a rollback and/or unistall the given CAB?
Please! Help me! I don't want to make hard reset!!!!
Any idea how to save them to the internal ROM, the "storage"???
Hi all again,
Again I thought i would sure the CAB work I'm doing for my Mini.
The second CAB file will install the new Camera app (thanks to "heretic") into the Storage area and not into the RAM (Save smoe space). This will allow you to save the pictures straight into "My Picture" without that extra folder in either Main memory, SD Card or Storage.
I have also added the short cuts needed to replace the original camera app from within the Magician so they point to the camera app installed in Storage.
I have uploaded 2 versions, 1 with the camera app only and the other with the new Album app that comes with the above CAB file from "heretic".
The only issue which i can't iron out is that with the second CAB file (Camera only) if you click on the "Album" icon from within the camera app its comes up with an error (Its looking for the Album app in the same directory as the camera app in Storage). So if you use the internal Album app standard with the Magician then download the first CAB file.
The 1st CAB file will also install the new Camera & Album app into Storage so the error from above goes. I haven't gone through the registry to associate the image files to open with the new version yet but all the shortcuts will point to the new version.
I personal don't use the Album app so i only installed the 2nd CAB file.
Both of these CAB's have the "Snow" fix that i posted before.
Is it possible to get an answer to a simple question, goddammit. How can I set the saving location to the internal ROM (called storage on my device)??? Regedit it, install a tool - whatever, any way to do that?
Start the Camera
Go to the spanner icon in the corner
Go to "Tools">"Options"
you will see a "Save To"
Select Main Memory (this will save in the device)
Select Storage Card (as it says)
The only way to save to the Storage is to install the apps above, the camera program gives you the storage option
Thank you! I thought maybe you can regedit the path just like you can do with AvantGo.
Can the 2nd (cam only) be installed into Ram too? And will it overwrite the old version there from the ExtRom?
If you want to install in RAM install the CAB file from "heretic" above, mine install them into Storage. And yes they will replace the old ones
can we use this pach to Alpine(qtek 2020i) who has the same problem?
Hello All,
If I copy the ringtones to my storage card the phone (TD2) does not show those ringtone files.
But if I copy the files to main storage (My Documents\Ringtones) it does work.
Is it not possible to have/store my ringtones @ storage card instead of main storage? If YES, Please advice.
Thanks.
Create folder in storage card e.g. "Ringtones" and change path in registry. I've read about it in this forum but can't remember where.
edit : I think the regisrty path is HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\so there change key ring_tone_path from \My Documents\My Ringtones to \StorageCard\Ringtones

Thanks for the reply. I will try this out. Can you point me to the location where I can download the Registry editor.
Also it will be grt if you can point me to Total Commander for MW too.
Thanks.
Here is regedit and here is tcmd. Tcmd has own registry editor as well, in Plugins/registry.

Thanks for the links.
I have downloaded the regedit (Smartphone 2000, 2003 ARM/PXA) downloaded the CAB in my storage card and installed the application in my device. It installed successfuly and I can see the application in my all programs.
But issue is:
when I start the RegEdit I can see HKCR, HKCU, HKLM AND HKUSERS. But I cant open those keys.. mean there is no sub folders.... I sthere any thing I am missing... or I should download the PocketPC edition 2000, 2003 one?
Can you explain just exactly what it is you are trying to do and why?
You have to download PPC edition. Smartphone is device without touch screen.

If I go to the folder on my storage card which includes any sound file (mp3s included) tap and hold the file name an option pop up menu gives just what I think you are looking for!

He don't want the ringtones to be stored on the main memory I'm pretty sure, that's why he asked for this.

Taking up memory? =) Main memory should be used only for \Windows and such, not ringtones, music or pictures. Also it's nice to have all programs on \Storage Card.

Yes I know this one. I've heard it many times before and I've had long forum discussions about it in the past.
May be we should start another thread for those who many have missed the two sides of the argument?

This does work, but I dont want the ringtones to be stored in Main memory or being copied to \My Documents\My Ringtones folder. So I was looking for any config change where it should point to the folder that I want .
PS:
- The Registry change that "prdic" suggested does not work. I tried with \Storage Card\<MyFolder> and \StorageCard\<MyFolder> both did not worked for me. I restarted the mobile too after change.
- And "ArtieQ" you are correct, I dont want the Main Memory to be used for the reasons explained by you. Thanks for that.

Don't get me wrong, I now understand what you you want.
I just don't understand why you want it.
The 'reasons' explained are preferences and accessing memory card storage will slow the process down as it's not as fast as main storage so what is the advantage to using mem card in this way?
OS runs in it's own area so this is not compromised and there's plenty of RAM for any files or apps to be located without problem. This area is faster than mem card as well.
Also if you change mem card for any reason you loose the links anyway.
Plus with all these extra OS calls across the mem bus you run the risk of freezes.
If you need a loaf of bread in a hurry you go to the nearest shop!
ArtieQ-
Can you explain further please?
"Taking up memory? =) Main memory should be used only for \Windows and such, not ringtones, music or pictures. Also it's nice to have all programs on \Storage Card."
Why should main memory only be use for \Windows and such etc?
And why is it nice to have all programs on \Storage Card?
I ask this because I can't see any technical reason for it and I believe it cause operating problems if its done!

1. More memory available = Better performance, and a storage card is used for music and such isn't it? That's the reason why main memory only is 800mb.
2. All programs on storage card instead of main memory = More RAM available = Better performance.
I don't know if it helps, but you can change the location of "My Documents" all together to storage card by using Advanced Config --> Locations.
As for myself, I prefer having the mp3-ringtones in phone memory for quicker access.
Guys,
Could you please help in solving this questions? I have searched all around but nothing works. Camera pictures always are saved in DCIM folder... I tried various registry keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\save\Save Location]
@="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\General]
"EnableDCIM"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation]
"Internal"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\"
"External"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
"SaveFolder_0409"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
But none of these helps ... Anybody has idea?
Have you tried this red?
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\HTC\Camera\General
EnableDCIM=0
camera settings are stored in binary format on first use of camera afaik.
also picture number to continue on storage card gets read out and stored in same binary value.
i know because i tried to adjust default settings (shutter sound off by default for example).
but side effect is that picture number is also set when cooking in your binary value.
but last picture number detected and stored is unique for everyone.
if you would set it to 1 (picture number, a new folder inside dcim get's created on every flash).
but we want pictures to continue from last number...
that's why i leave this binary value in camera reg's alone...

Anyway, I have left it to save in DCIM, but just for sport interest - is it possible?
-use ceregeditor on pc, connect to device after you adjusted settings in camera app
-backup the said hex key and cook it in
but as i said there will be problem with numbering, it creates new media folder on every rom flash afaik.

I am already cooking above mentioned key for several month and I have no problems with numbering after flash! For the moment I have 149 photos on sd card, this evening I flashed twice, took photos and they started numbering 150,151.. No new folders are created in DCIM, just DCIM/100MEDIA.
My ext I am using is attached: camera set to superfine, widescreen is off and shutter sound is off.
My problem was that photos would be stored in storage card/my documents/my photos instead of DCIM/100MEDIA.
