There's no option to save images from the camera to my external SD card. I'm on the newest (10/1/12) nightly of CyanogenMod 10. Anyone else have this issue and resolved it?
It's normal, for now. Option doesn't exist.

You can always use root explorer and move them manually

After moving them manually your thumbnails show up as black boxes until you touch the pic in the gallery then it shows the picture.Kinda annoying and or embarrassing when you flip to the wrong picture if you know what I mean...Clicking the properties of the camera app it shows the path for pics to be saved to sdcard0.Would changing that to sdcard1 fix the thumbnail issue?
Pretty sure aokp (task) just added the option to save pics to external SD card

the TouchWiz Camera app allows this as well. (if you want to flash a custom TouchWiz ROM)
I have figured out a workaround for the CM10 issue with not saving pics and vids to the external SD card.I use a file manager called SUFBS.You have to buy it from the market.It's the only file manager I use so I don't know if you can do this with any other file manager.Open SUFBS and mount your system by pressing Menu->Mount System R/W. Navigate to /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera and copy either the entire file or individual pictures.Paste what you have copied into /mnt/external_sd/DCIM/Camera.After you have done that shutdown SUFBS and go to your gallery to make sure the pictures are showing up.Then you can go ahead and delete the data from /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera so you don't have duplicate pictures or videos.Works perfect for me and hope this helps someone.
I'm still using the stable build.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is fixed in the nightly build?
TIA.

Hey there, I am running MIUI XJ 1.8.26 XPART and I really like this version and I don't wanna change to a newer one.
This one is fine with battery life and smoothness so I will stick with this since my vacation
I am having this strange bug again when deleting pictures from the gallery app.
After a reboot they just show up like I never deleted them.
Last time xj told me to delete sdcard\miui\.cache\ and everything was OK... but now the pictures keep showing up after a reboot AND the cache folder is empty...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
What pictures you want to delete? Your own? System Images?
Pictures I took with the camera or which I copied to SD card.
No system files or kinda protected files.

No, did not work, i tried but the pics are reappeared. but it doesn't matter if you delete from file explorer its ok.
I just tried to delete it by inserting SD card in a card reader and delete it with windows explorer.
I don't get that. That didn't work also.
Every reboot I get the pics "back".
What the hell?

Hey guys,
I was hoping for some advice. I installed Jelly Bean and I cant find my music files or my pics. Now if I run root explorer I can find them in the SD card menu but if I just open gallery or music they will not be there.
Now I wanted to move them so I can actually access them and have tried two ways. Using root explorer and copy and pasting the folder. That did not work. And then I was going to just move the files around by connecting my phone to my computer. When I do this I cant even access my SD card for some reason. And yes USB debugging is on and checked.
So how do I get these files to where I need them? Any help would be amazing. Thank you in advance guys.
This is for development only . But files should be in there unless you partitioned the SD card. Maybe try using a different cord or plugging in a different USB. Happens to me a couple of times so I have to locate file in my computer.

Install and run SDRescan from the market.
Go to the folder where they are stored and look for ".nomedia" file and delete it from the folder and then the galley and music app should find them

None of these options worked....and no its not my cord because I can access files just not the ones I need.

Well there is at least someone else with my issue. Now can anyone tell us how to fix?
The problem I am having is my photos do not appear after I take them, but if I go and sort out display options in the gallery by date they appear. All of my music is there and no problems. I didn't have this issue when I first went to jb. BTW I have a gsm nexus

Hi,
Do you see your specific files in ICS?
Have you tried Menu > Refresh?
Have you tried clearing Gallery data?
Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery?
Think out of the box

Could also be ROM related. Have you tried a different Jelly Bean ROM?
Here comes probably a solution
Guys, for those having issues with Media process, where Pictures & Musics don't show up, here's the solution that worked for me:
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21746289&postcount=2 (thanks Chrono_Tata).
Based on what Chrono_Tata wrote, I decided to create a ".nomedia" file in my main personal directory, where contains pictures, musics, personal files and so on.
(For those not familiar with Linux, the ". (dot)" in the beginning of the filename is very important! It means that it's a hidden file. You can create it through ES File Explorer)
For testing purposes, I copied some musics / pics to directories out of that my structure.
Then, stopped and cleaned data for: Gallery, Google Music and Media . Afterwards, restarted phone.
Bingo. It did work, and I could see the pics/musics outside my main directory (although it takes a while to re-scan everything, so wait! Gallery and Music will show nothing until scan is complete).
Well, after I realized it did work, I continued in the following way:
1) Delete the previous ".nomedia" file that I created
2) Create a new one under some sub-directory.
3) Repeat process for re-scan
I did it until I found which directory had an issue (btw, my pictures directory).
I think it might be related to thumbs.db file created by Win, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I still have to check carefully my structure to find the issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Adriano.
I know this has been addressed but I was hoping you could help me and my friend out because we can't seem to find a definitive answer out there....I have tried about 8-10 4.2.X ROMs on my galaxy nexus and every time I do the files are moved into sub folder 0 because of multiple users and the restructured file system that comes with it.....now our problem is that when we use 4.2 or 4.2.1 ROMs the files are invisible no matter what I do....I used many different file explorers and yes I have "show hidden files" checked off. However when I revert back to 4.1.2 the files appear again.....even when I hook my phone up to my computer when running 4.2.x the files are invisible and they are nowhere to be found so that I can merge the old and new file folders...so basically when I'm running 4.1.2 everything is great but when I flash 4.2.x everything is moved and cannot be seen or visible on my phone or computer until I revert back to the previous version of android (4.1.1 or 4.1.2). Any help or problem solving is much appreciated once again thank you for the time and patience for dealing with us lol
Seems you are not using the latest TWRP or CWM so you are running into the "0" folder issue. Update your recovery and try again.
Hope this works

So what do you exactly have in /sdcard/ after you flash 4.2?
Oh and assuming you know that you have a folder called "xyz" and it becomes invisible, then did you try searching using the "Search" function of the file explorer you are using so it can find this "xyz" for you automatically?
The files should be stored somewhere because you see them when reverting to 4.1.2 so I think that determining where they are should help in understanding what's going on and what to do later
Note: I have to sleep so I will check this thread again in the morning if no one helped you already

First and foremost let me say thanks for taking the time I really appreciate it.....OK.....yes I have used the search function.....let's see here.....so currently I'm running PACman ROM android 4.1.2.....I'm using ES File Explorer.....so when I use es explorer and go to SD card everything is there....games media pics videos basically everything I have on my phone....now when I flash a 4.2.X ROM I download es file explorer and I check off show hidden files.....when I go to SD card a brand new set of files have appeared....including but not limited to "Android" "Notifications" "Downloads" etc. It brings a whole new set of empty folders to the foreground and all of my original folders were moved.....but I can't seem to find a way to "go up a level" to see my original files and see folder "0" with this new set of empty folders.....I basically can't find a way to go up one level and see the entire contents of SD card on my phone or on my computer it just automatically brings me the the newest folder "0" with no way to go up a level no matter what I do or try
Actually in ES File Explorer you will not be able to go up and see the files of the root directory unless you are "rooted" and do the following:
1) Run ES File Explorer
2) Click on the botton right 3 dots
3) Click settings
4) Scroll down to "Other Settings" and choose "Root settings"
5) Check the first three options "Root Explorer", "Up to Root" and "Mount File System"
Now if you start ES File Explorer then you can go up one level by clicking the "up" icon in the main screen
Afterwards, maybe you can search manually or via the Search function to find your files

I'm having the same issue as the OP. I can see all file structure with Astro and root explorer, yet I can not see them with my windows computer. All I can see is internal storage and the folders that are in there which seems to be just the main folders.
How are you able to see the rest of the folders in windows explorer so you/I can put my backups back on my phones. Titanium is saving to storage/emulated/legacy. Yet I can not get there through my PC. This is driving me nuts. I have a fresh install and want to get my back up stuff back to the correct locations.
Thanks

It seems you have your Titanium backup folder on your PC and you want to send it back to your phone, right?
If so, then just move the titanium backup folder normally to your /sdcard/ then follow this post to let titanium detect the folder you sent to /sdcard/ then restore your apps

You are correct and I have everything pretty much the way I want, but I think I have extra folders in my internal storage. I can now see the main storage from windows and it is temping to just keep going with what i got, but I have this nagging feeling that I have something wrong.
Like in this thread.
4.2 roms + CWM 6.0.2.3
your old files are located in data/media
4.2 creates its new SD card directory in data/media/0
take the files you want out of the old directory and put them in the new one and they will show up on your computer.

TWRP 2.3.3.1 personally. Download it through GooManager from the play store.
How would you recommend merging all the folders together from all the other /0's that have been created? Just take what I need out of them and delete them?

Use a file manager to move them where you'd like and delete the empty folders.
I flashed a 4.2 ROM just a little while ago. Its weird...I still have everything in my internal and external. But also have dups in storage folder. in there i have an emulated folder and sdcard1 . Then in emulated I have "0" and legacy folder. And it looks like all the same files.
Also..unless i lost my marbles..looks like my download folder is gone
I'm using a Bell I317M and recently flashed the official 4.3 update. I have noticed that I see duplicate entries in the gallery and have traced it down to the fact that I have two paths mapped to the SD card: /storage/extSdCard and /mnt/extSdCard
I don't recall this happening prior to the update. I believe it's related to a new way of referencing the external SD cards but is there a way to fix this so that the stock gallery app doesn't think they are completely different locations and show duplicates?
Actually, this is not only restricted to the stock gallery app. I have the stock android gallery app and it's doing the same thing!
Are you using more than one gallery ??
Or more than one camera app?
Both will create and place duplicates...
Just a thought.... g

I have both the Samsung stock gallery app and the Stock JB gallery installed. As for camera, I mainly use the Samsung stock camera app. But how (and why) would it create duplicates? New pics get saved to the DCIM location on the external SD card.
But since I have 2 logical paths to that location (one through /mnt and another through /storage), the gallery shows duplicates....

Have you flashed or dirty flashed roms? I've seen it where this can happen. Most likely the double gallery apps are doing this. Can you delete the non samsung app and see if that worked?

Agreed ....
Use TIBU and freeze one of the apks then delete it's associated duplicate folder...
Then test it...
Also ...make sure that you don't have 2 cameras set as system apps or they will both create folders on boot...g

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look into that.
re: dirty flashing. the only thing I can think of was the in-place upgrade of the official 4.3 upgrade which I flashed through ODIN. I did not wipe prior or after the upgrade.

This is an easy fix that worked for me.... I had a directory that duplicated itself, and two more that wouldn't even show in the gallery.
1. I had a couple of directories duplicate themselves when they were originally created in the emulated directory and I "moved" it to my SD card... then when viewed in gallery it showed two directories "both in SD card"..... all I did was copy this whole directory to a different location on the sd card "copy not move", then went back and deleted the original directory. Then took my copy and moved it back to my original location. Then when viewing gallery only one directory was visible "the right one".
Others recipes may work, but this one did for me...
2. Directories that were invisible were fixed simply by renaming the directory using ES explorer, go to gallery and confirm they now all show then go back in es explorer and rename back to what you had them before "if you wish".......
Now go into Gallery a second time and you should still see the directories with names back to original as you've named them. your fixed!
I think mine got messed up with I created a file called .nomedia inside the directory... while it did remove the directory from view in gallery "like it's supposed to do", when that file was deleted, the directory was still invisible.... Even after hard reboot, clearing system cache and partition cache....but the above fixed it
