Another issue. I created couple new photo albums on Desire (connected on PC) I put pics in there, but Desire doesnt seem to 'find' them. They look ok on Astro - as saved under DCIM. What am I missing?
Thanks...!!!
Create a Media folder (if not already done) create a folder Audio, Photo, Photo 2, Movies etc

How do you make the photos and Music settings to always look at the SD card path? right now photos are blank and I have to pic folders and go to the SD folders manually.
thanks!
This has been a topic discussed several times. It has to do with the chome.dll file stored in the /windows directory. For some reason it only maps to the /my documents/my pictures and the storage card/pictures folders (called storage card/DCIM). So the only work around, although a poor one, is to create a folder in the main root of your storage called "pictures" ( and not "my pictures") . Then place your pics there and they will show up on the sliding panel on your home screen. You will also be able to acces them from there. The only thing this will not do is send all of the pics you've taken from your camera to that directory. It will still put them in /storage card/my pictures (assuming you are using your storage card for puting your photos to) so you will still have to manually move those pics to the /storage card/pictures directory when you finish taking the pics.
Wow it's amazing what one can stumble upon when they are not looking. I had the same problem just never really searched out the issue. I tried what you suggested and works like a charm! Thanks pudgedaddy!
You can also create a folder called "DCIM" and it will detect the pictures on there as well.

Hi
Is there any way to make your own folders to have images and videos in ?
I have root if its possible to do it in the system folders.
Also i wanna remove the "camera shots" folder as it mix videos and pics, if possible
Ty
On your SD card create a folder called
media/pictures/<album name> and copy the pictures into there.
Hello guys,
Is there a way to create folders in my gallery to organize all the pics that I have?
I have tried to create using ASTRO folders in DCIM \ Camera and and I have added some photos but when I open Gallery from my phone I can only see Camera Shots and All photos. I tried to move the folders in DCIM direcly same result.
Is there a way to do this?
And also in DCIM I see all new videos and phots are stored in 100MEDIA but I have a Camera folder, what is this Camera folder used for?
Thanks
You need to remount your SD card for your phone to see the new folders (or reboot). Try SD Mount or Reload SD from the market. Everytime you add new photos or new folders, remount your card, and your gallery should show the photos and folders. Personally, I create folders inside the media/pictures folder on my SD card, which works fine for me. Hope this helps

Good work! You inadvertantly answered another query I had regarding moving pictures into the pictures folder!
Does anyone know the location of the wallpapers folder?
Thanks!!
I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.
I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I appreciate it but how would I go about doing that? Not a complete newb, just a partial one.
I use an app called es file explorer for all sort of file/folder related tasks.
I browse to the folder on my internal or external card and hit new to create file in that folder and name that file .nomedia

Tried that but it doesn't seem to be working. I"m searching the device for other places to do this with and see if that works.
That worked! Thanks alot!
solution to this annoying problem that occurs in the gallery? I installed messanger Facebook or other applications I appear emoticons.
You need to have have a file on the map you want to exclude from the HTC gallery named ".nomedia" then this folder will be excluded from scans from HTC gallery. If you look on external sd and then on the folder Android you will see such a file, copy it and paste it on the root of the folders you want to exclude.
the folder is not there, you could explain? the destination folder and paste it where I find it?
Open the Gallery app tap the settings icon in the top right corner (the 3 dots) and choose "Show/hide albums".
Now you can choose which albums is visible in the Gallery app.

sorry I meant sd card>android>data then you will see a file named ".nomedia" copy it and put it on the folders/maps you want to exclude from scanning.
That file is also present in other folders just search a bit with (htc) file explorer.

I did not understand what folder copy / maps you want to exclude from scanning?
HTC gallery app scans your maps/folders looking for images. In the facebook messenger folder ( internal memory or external) there are images that's why you see them on the HTC gallery. If you use the ".nomedia" file and put it on the root of the facebook messenger folder then HTC gallery will not scan this folder for images and therefore you will not see them .on the gallery.
