[Q] CyanogenMod 7: camera save path - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
On my Desire HD with CyanogenMod7 I noticed following issue: my "old" pictures taken with the camera (pre-Cyano) have been "correctly" saved to the DCIM/100MEDIA folder on the SD-Card.
Now the pictures are being saved in the DCIM/Camera folder (still on the SD-Card).
This wouldn't be a big concern (I don't mind about respecting the DCIM-standard as from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_system ), if I wouldn't be using iPhoto! That piece of software is "standard-oriented" and when I connect the DHD to my MacBook Pro, iPhoto searches and shows pictures *only* from the DCIM/100MEDIA folder...
Is there any way to cleanly change this behaviour?
I was thinking about symlinking Camera --> 100MEDIA, what'd you suggest?
Thanks and regards,
F.

with standard camera app, i found no way to change the path to save picture.
With CameraZoomFX it´s possible to change the path, so i think it´s better to use another camera app and it´s done.

Hello to All
As you noted, the version TT7.915.9196
includes that can navigate to pictures GEO Tagg
With this guide, you can use the function without having to use HTC FootPrint:
Create a folder named GEO-PHOTOS in ROOT
your SD
Open your camera and take a picture with the "GPS Photo"
Copy your photos in the GEO-PHOTOS
Start the TT7.915, navigate to ... and your picture will appear!
This all works on my HTC HD and it works
To find your photo, if you have to save the picture in SD,
out by the function of the camera, you will find the photos in My Document / My POI
That's very interesting. Should be usefull, but still there is no posibility to save current position.

wow - works like a charm, thank you very much
Perhaps worth mentioning for the uninitiated that (I presume) you will need to have GPS Photo enabled in the registry to be able to take those pictures in the first place.

Simply enable even with HD Tweak
Is there a way to get navigate to contact back instead of the picture?
I have Blackstone and Raphael.
Navigate to picture is cool but I have all my business client adresses and often service there computers.

Dear alesscam,
I have installed TT7.915 successfully on my HD. It works fine. Gets GPS fix quicker than TT7.10. I am keen to get the geo-photo function working.
I did not use the cab file to install, but copied all the files into the existing Navigator folder (from TTV7.910 install). Could I have a missing registry entry?
I have followed your guide and created a GEO-PHOTOS in the root of the HD memory.
I have GPS Photo enabled via HD Tweak.
I made sure that the GPS was on and had a fix prior to taking a photo with the on board camera.
I copied the photo to the GEO-PHOTOS folder.
Started TT and went to navigate to - Photos.
tapped the icon. No photo is displayed.
What am I doing wrong?
You mention SD. Exactly what are you referring to?
When I look at the folder where the photo is, it contains my photo as well as a file called thumbs_geo.dat I think this the geo code data required by TT to locate the picture on its map.
Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your help.
Best wishes,
David

Not sure if you got it working already. You are suppose to create the folder in ROOT of your memory card and not HD memory.

I use advanced config to change location. You can change it to save camera shots in either the Dcim or My pictures and then tell it where to save, either Phone or storage card. Do you need 2 copies or just a different location other than dcim?
I like to have to copies at the same time at different places.
Seems there is no solution for my request?!?
With mortscipt working great on my touch pro 2 with wm6.5 but what about android? Any kind of app?

new panorama mode does not write data tag - causes messed up order in gallery

Hey,
I found several post about the gallery image order, but i think I've found a new problem...
I started after i deleted the app data for the gallery (because of another bug, where it doesn't show all of whatsapp videos), and my mistake was i didn't back it up with titanium backup first...
After the deletion, it appears that while most of the images are in the correct order, the panorama images are messed up, not completely, they are still close to their old location, but moved a couple of spots...
i tried debugging it, and i think that the cause is that the panorama files don't have the data taken exif tag... (same problem as with the video files)
I will try to add the tag myself and see if it works, but i was wondering if maybe it wasn't there for a reason? i know the files are not standard jpeg...
I would be happy for some input or some ideas from someone with more experience!
Any other ideas what to do...
It's a bit annoying

Update
It seems that the time data tag is written...
I thought it didn't because windows 7 didn't manage to read it, which might indicate the real problem.
Anyway, i've used ExifTool on 2 pictures taken one after the other, one of them is panorama and the other is a normal picture.
They both have correct exif tags and appear in the correct order, but what i did find out is that the tag "Exif Tag Order" is different, it is "little endian" for the panorama and "big endian" for the normal picture, other than that they are the same...
I'm clueless
I'm attaching links to my pictures, can someone try to help me debug it?
Picture a
Picture b (panorama)
Picture c
The pictures were taken in the above order, but picture c appears in the gallery between a & b (with more pictures).
EDIT - Forgot to mention, I've installed QuickPic to see what it does.
QuickPic, when told to sort by date, put all of the movies first (because they don't have exif, annoying problem itself), then all of the panorama pictures (in the correct relative order), then the normal pictures (again, in the correct relative order)
So there is some problem with the different tags!
err!

[Q] Gallery Folder

Hi,
Quick question: I had sorted all my Pictures on my ext_sdcard into folders, but sadly in the official Gallery app it just shows all of them under camera pictures. Only like 5 Folders which have no logical connection to me are shown, from the internal aswell as from the external storage. Now, I am able to create new Albums and sort them through the menu, but as far as I can see the only thing that changes are the databases and not the file system. I would hate to sort all my photos again
is there a way to use the folder structure or at least something to speed up the process??
I had hoped it would suffice to just change the mediacollection.db -> albums to include the folders but that didn't work
*EDIT*
to create groups one would need to compute the bucket_id hash for the corresponding file/folder. Any infos on which algorithm it uses, or how I can compute it myself?
**EDIT**
The Albums get sorted by Folder, so if you have Subfolders then those will just be in one album. splitting them up kind of resolves the problem. it's just not very nice to have all image folders scattered over the sdcard and completely defeats the purpose of one single image folder
***EDIT***
Moved the pictures from the DCIM Folder to the Pictures Folder and it worked perfectly. please mark as solved for reverence or delete.

[Q] Issues with HTC One M8 Gallery

Hey!
I recently bought the M8 and been having some issues with the HTC Gallery app.
1st: Snapchat pictures i take and decide to save end up in the Snapchat folder, but also creates a duplicate picture in another folder called "Pictures".
2nd: Automatic highlighting of photos, which make its own folder aswell.
I have tried to google/search around for some fixes and/or help to these issues.
Mostly people say "hide the folders" which is not an acceptable fix as the pictures will just waste space on the phone.
Anyone experiencing the same problems or know what i can do? All help is greatly appriciated.

If you click on the menu in top right corner and hide the folder that says All Pictures you will not get duplicates anymore and it is not a duplicate the gallery just shows pictures from all folder in the folder called All Pictures. I'm unsure about highlighting as on mine I need to select which photos to highlight.

Thanks for the reply.
Its not the "All Pictures" folder, I might have explained it abit poorly.
Whenever i save a picture from the Snapchat app, a new folder is created("Pictures") with the photo inside. Snapchat has it own folder in the gallery aswell with the image. It is not a mirror or shortcut to the original image. If i delete the folder the problem still presist the next time i save a photo using snapchat.
Hiding the folder or using .nomedia is not a fix for this as it will still use up my phones storage:/
