My instant upload folder is now individual folders in my gallery with dates. I have now over 90 folders in my gallery and I just want them all into a single "Instant Upload" folder! I was angry enough that a new folder had to be created after it reached 500 photos, but now it's split by date? What the hell? Help please!
Bump? Anybody know anything?
if you don't want to have to go into each folder and systematically empty them try the following:
Plug phone to computer. Do a search within your main picture folder for *.* this, once the search has run, will then give you a list of all the files (and folders).
Then click on the folders button in the toolbar, you will now have your windows explorer folder tree available plus the list of all the files and folders.
Then click on the "type" column header, this will sort everything by type so all the actual folders will be bunched together.
Select everything else by clicking on the first file name and shift clicking on the last one making sure you don't include the folders.
Drag the list of files into the left hand side of the window to the folder of your choice. (make sure you drop them in the right place!)
This will then move all the files out of the various folders into the location of your choosing. Note it will move the files if the destination folder is on the same hard drive but it will copy them if the destination folder is on a different hard drive.

Already backed them all up and deleted them all. It just recreates those folders from my instant uploads. I don't want to turn off instant uploads.

OK good. I worked hard on that post wish I knew you had it figured it out. And I didn't say you had to turn off anything though

hi not sure if this is the right place for this or not but i've got a question on apk files
I've made some changes to an apk file but not sure how to compress it back to an apk file.
is it as simple as compressing as a zip then renaming it to apk?
take care

Use 7zip (7z.exe to be exact)
Copy it to a folder make a subfolder inside,
Put ur apk contents in subfolder
Open notepad, copy and paste these 3 lines
Save as script.bat in folder with 7z.exe
cd subfoldername
..\7z.exe -tzip archivename.apk "*" -mx0
Exit
Change subfoldername to name of subfolder to the name of subfolder u created ofc lmao
And archive name to sign.. mx0 is best for loadin, mx9 is compression, use signapk to sign if its not a system file
If the "..\7z" don't wotk 4 u use full path in quotes, example
"%userprofile%\desktop\foldername"
Is the same as: (vista)
"C:\users\username\desktop\foldername"
And: (xp)
C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\foldername"
Or use apk manager lol I prefermymethod personally, n fyi, googles ur friend
Should get to know it
thank you doug.
i did google it but found bunch of different programs and thought that there might be a simpler way of doing it rather than getting a program just to compress

Ye no worries just hope it helped sorry if the post seemed rushed had like 5min left 2 my break when I origionally replyed lmao n this methods rather simple cuz when used correct its more or less drag n drop n run, zip is generated in folder with 7z.exe n 7z performs flawlessly
APKs are basically a zip file with an MD5 signature embedded in them. There are apk generators on market if you copy directory to sdcard is prolly easiest to start with specially with the processing power of this phone.
In Windows compressed folders work fine if you just enable viewing file extensions and change between zip and apk
or hold left shift key as you right click apk file in windows.
Now click open with...
and choose browse for application
Choose your favorite zip app or windows compressed folders
Next to last check always use box so checkmark is visible
Finally click OK
Now no need to modify extensions

Alright. I need help with this and Google can't help me. I need to recursively (i.e. all of the content in the directory) move an entire folder from Windows to my internal sd-card but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to work.
I now there's a way, somehow.
EDIT: Pitch-in: The sd-card is mounted as /mnt/sdcard/ right?
what about just zipping it? i dont think adb can do that easily
Lets say you have a folder called Wallpapers on your PC use the code below (assumes you copied Wallpapers folder to android-sdk\platform-tools):
Code:
adb push Wallpapers /sdcard/Wallpapers/
If you don't specify the destination folder (Wallpapers) on the sdcard then it will place the contents of the folder on your sdcard. No need for mnt in the destination.
Edit: unsure of how this will behave with subdirectories within the folder you're trying to push. You might have to push each subdirectory separately.

Working for me as I type. I don't know about the sub-directories as I just put everything into one folder and will move them to their new home once they finish transferring. Up until now, I've been moving everything individually. I didn't know you could move folders so this is awesome. Save me a lot of typing lol.

a thanks is enough, no need to necrobump a thread over a YEAR old, just to say it works.
I honestly just zip the file with all directories on my computer than adb it over. Extract with root explorer and move then delete zip file. Easy and simple

Im stupid.... This is best idea lol, and so obvious...
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!
Sorry guys my parents bought this phone and I don't own one so I don't know how else to help them. They were wondering where the download folder was since it seems the note 4 doesn't have that specific folder in the apps directory anymore. Also the my files doesn't seem like it has an all files folder either. So how do you check and delete downloaded files?
The my files app has a section for it.
Its in the local storage section of the my files app. you can see all your files there.
Google might be able to help you also.

Also, my files app, settings, then check show hidden files.
Call me a noob, but when I copy files in the "Download" folder (My Files>Device Storage) and I open Dropbox and select to Upload "Other Files", Dropbox goes immediately to the Downloads folder which is blank. I would like to know where the heck this "Downloads" (shown in dropbox) is located. I don't think Downloads in dropbox is the same as Download in Device Storage.
So I use FX file explorer as my file explorer on my all my Android devices.. today when going through it I just I noticed I have two separate download folders one is called "Download" the other ones called " Downloads". I'm just now noticing this. This is like my six or seventh Android phone going back to the OG Droid and I've never seen this before. The contents of the folders are mostly the same However one folder has more stuff in it but you can't erase it. When i try a prompt comes up that says "file memory error". I've included some screenshots for all to see. Maybe someone's got an explanation as to why this is happening. Is it like an after effect of recently updating to 10 ? Or is there maybe some unwanted bs ( Spyware? Yes im extremely parinoid ! ) on my phone. Those are the only 2 possibilities I can think of.
Thanks for your help in advance..
* I can only upload 4 screenshots so you can't see how the folders match anyhow. I'll upload the last screenshot if I can figure out how to.
The downloads folder (the one with the 's') is a connected storage. It was added by clicking the 3 little dots and then clicking connect to storage. It can be be safely removed by long pressing it, and clicking the trash can. It will just remove the connection to it. It won't remove any files, and your other download folder will still be there.
As to why the contents are different, I can't answer. They should be the same. Are you sure they aren't the same, just sorted differently?
