Can someone please tell me how to move the folder My Documents to memory card?
If I save a picture from an mms, I can only save it in "Main memory -> My Documents"
I want the phone and all applications only to use My Documents on my memory card.
It's all in the registry! I'd recommend using a standard tool. If I'm not mistaken Advanced config 3.3 has the option - but don't pin me on that one.
No. Advance config doesnt work.
I don't believe you can. You can easily change the registry setting in Advanced Config which I did myself a while back, but things still save to the main memory. It's the same with the camera, you can't get it to save the images to My Pictures, it's either "DCIM" or something else.
Shame really, it would be nice if there was a way that I wasn't aware of.

You do know that in the camera settings you can choose to save in main memory or card?
Just checking
So its the software for MMS thats save files to main memory?
This is really annoying, I'll get a lot of pics from friends. If I only could change the name when saving, I'll could easily cut n paste all images to right folders. But it takes a lot of time to open a pic first, and check wich folder I want it in.
Is there a way to see images as thumbnails in list?
For camera: go to camera
Go to setting then arrow down. On the left there is an icon for camera and video. Click on it then click on save to phone or card. chose save to card.
For MMS/SMS go to option then chose storage. Click on save to storage card
I've believe I seen a how to around here somewhere about how to keep images or certain folders with images from showing up on the G1s picture viewer.
I got some pictures I dont need people seeing when they look though my pictures stored on my SD card.
I would like to be able to view them in ASTRO or something similar or when I mount my SD card to a PC. Maybe a certain app can disable certain folders?

I just put a period in front of each folder. Like from "folder" to ".folder"
and reboot. Voila! Probably won't work for apps that need to access that specific directory though.
Haha, u get the pix from the chicks 2, I c, but yea put them in a folder and put a "." in front of the folder name like binary said, and reboot

There is indeed an app that will hide files. It is called "Hide & Seek" and acts like just another Flashlight app. After launching the app you hit the Menu button three times and enter a password. Then you can "View" or hide additional files... I have found it very useful to hide content such as the pics downloaded by the "Phandroid" app which would show up in the picture viewer...
You guys are awesome and lifesavor, thanks. We need a rep system or something like other forums have.
wow, ive been looking for a way to do this without the app, never thought of putting a . in there, nice work guys
The way the app does it, is it changes the nome from "pic.jpg" to "pic.kpg.hide"
mmm

I have tried this from within Windows, but it doesnt allow me. Do you have to change the name from the phone directly?
thanks

Anyone please?
Yeah, you have to do it on the phone.
Using ASTRO is how I did it. I renamed the folder with the "." in front of it, (Long press folder>Edit>Rename) then you can set ASTRO to view files as thumbnails, (Menu>View>Change View>Thumbnail Icons) and then browse the picture folder in ASTRO. When you click a picture, you can set it to open in the native View Picture or in ASTRO's picture viewer, your choice.
backup
Make sure you have a backup copy of ur pics before u try this. For some reason when i put .folder whenever i reboot, it deleats all my pics in that folder! Did it 5 times in a row, but i had backups on my comp. If i put .pic for file name then it still shows up. Gonna just change the file extension i guess and see how that works...
Anyone else have any probs like this?

Yeah... Astro... Linda... whatever you use should allow you to add the . in front of the name. You need to reboot for the changes to go into effect.
Hello, i have a little problem, i couldn't find any thread with these contents..
but, here's the problem:
Whenever i take a normal photo, on any resolution.. it won't save the file after i took a picture and my HD won't respond for a minute, when i try to see the photo it isnt there..
Does anyone know what might have happened? it's pretty annoying
Much thanks, Cb
Sounds like it is having a problem finding the file it is supposed to save the images to. Have you added any new programs or changed any settings recently? Where are you storing the images, device or storage card? Check if you have set these to hidden or read only.

yes it does sound like your folder location may be missing use your file explorer and see if DCIM folder is in storage card inside DCIM should have a folder called 100MEDIA
Well, the folders are there since i selected to save it on the storage card.. and no i havent changed any settings to the camera, and it still does the same thing been trying to figure it out but it wont work at all
If you haven't changed any settings to the camera, have you changed any settings in any other programs or installed any new programs? What ROM are you using?
I'm using the stock rom, 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD, last program i installed before it went to act strange was spore origins

At a guess I would say that spore origins played part in messing things up. First try telling the camera to save to the device and see what happens. If it is still messed up then you may have to hard reset. If it does work when you tell it to save to the device then take what you need off the storage card and re-format it, then that should fix your problem.
if you have installed "advanced config" utility please check under camera settings if you have "encode photos in portrait mode" option enabled
if yes, unable it.
this can make your phone to stuck or delay whenn you take a picture
good luck!

Hello,

Its pretty annoying if my friends uses my phone and i cant let them go see pictures becouse im not that kind of boyfriend So is there any way to hide pictures / make folder with password? And sorry for my bad english i hope you guys understand.
like your honesty!!!
using file explorer.. go to...
(depending where your pictures are stored)
cut and paste the pictures contained in DCIM\100media\
into a new folder somewhere else on the storage card.. and it will no longer appear in the image gallery

Mate - have a look at this, in the hits & tips thread linked in my sig...
64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
It just hides a folder from the album app. You can still manually browse to it with file explorer, for example, and open images from there.
Hope this helps

i edited thet registry key but i'm having troubles.. while it is actually hiding pictures in htc album, they are still showing up in manila's tab, am i doing something wrong?
WinRar the files. You can even put a password on it so that if you loose the phone no one can see the pics. I found it the easiest and most secure way to hide your girlfriends pictures.

Free app to protect pictures
Hi,
Search for an app called FreeOTFE4PDA. It allows you to create a fully encrypted, password protected folder on your card. This can then be mounted as a storage card when needed. Within this you can create folder and do anything else you can do on a storage card. The important part is of course that you can not mount it if you do not know the password.

i run both windows and android, so what i'm trying to do is to hide android's gallery cache files (why did developers think that using readable jpg files as cache would be a good idea in the first place?)
that's the reason i want them to remain accessible for android use, but still don't want them to fill my windows photo tab with duplicates, so no rar storing can solve my problem
i fear i'll have to give up the 3d glory of android's gallery due to this stupid issue...
Use Total Commander, find the pictures, press & hold a picture, tap Properties, check the box "Hidden", press OK. The pictures can only be accessed through Total Commander.
It's a good thing my 900th post went to a good cause!

That's exactly the problem i'm having. You just have to keep the photos rarred while you using android. Not the perfect solution, if you find a better 1 i'm interested too.
Sent from my HanDroid2 using XDA App
1)Change the extension to some other (from jpg to ipg in example). So no one program will open it. When you need it change again to jpg.
2)make it hidden or system
I'm currently experiencing a very annoying problem with the gallery. When I press on Gallery, it takes a very long time before it loads the pictures. Same deal after taking a picture, if I want to view it, it takes me to a black screen, but if I wait for like 5 minutes, I can view all the pictures on my Camera folder. This is very annoying. Where in the SD am I supposed to place my pictures?
Bump, hope someone can help.

Installed it, doesn't help for me.
Hmmm...i tk it u tried all four possible changes while rebooting each time to see if it worked?...Unless u have a ton of pictures on ur card then maybe u should consider getting a higher class SD card then...
Try QuickPic from market, its for free.
Its better than the stock gallery:
- faster
- you can exclude or even hide folders beeing showed
- ...
Yes very true use QuickPic. Much better than stock.
ok, none of the answers listed above worked for me. nothing against the posters. I was having the same problem with my hd2 running android. I just read an article and it said to create a ".nomedia" file (in notepad on your pc) and transfer it into the folder you don't want shown. NOTE: if you do a search for ".nomedia" there might be one already created in another file. You can cut and paste it if you don't feel like making one).
My gallery ALWAYS crashed when I tried to add .gifs to an mms. I would be able to scroll once and then the gallery would get stuck and force close. Since I added the .nomedia file to the .thumbnails file in dcim (where there were 2,550 thumbnails) I can at least scroll through the full gallery WITHOUT a gallery force close. Again, it is not perfect or extremely fast, but it is now functional. Hope this helps someone else.
try a faster sd card
and OP please dont bump your posts after 1 hour or so of posting
I would also say: try a faster card - seems there is the problem - although the gallery appears quite often slow, when it is loaded for the first time and full with pictures from the pc.
