When I take a picture in Android 7.0 using the stock camera app, it seem to create the jpg file in DCIM/Camera but it also creates an identically named folder, which is empty, in the same location.
For example, after taking a picture I will have:
/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20160829_182739.jpg
/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20160829_182739/
Does anyone know why or more importantly how to disable this?

Hi guys,
While posting a jpeg image to a forum (invision powerboard) the image attachment is usually attached and displayed as a jpeg in the post. This happens from any desktop web browser. Using my GN however, the jpeg attachment appears as an attached file link like this.
"Attached file (Number of downloads: 0)
jpeg1.jpg"
I did some experimenting and discovered that if I attach the jpeg using ASTRO as the browser to choose the jpeg on my phone, it attaches as per normal in the post. If I use the GN Gallery app to choose out the attachment jpeg it attaches as a file.
Why is this happening? It worked fine on android 2.3.3. It seems like the gallery is sending the file to the board as a "file" and not as a "jpeg file".
Any ideas?
[[[[Using ASTRO is fine, but you cannot browse thumbnails and need to know the name of the image you wish to post.]]]]
Edit: Scratch that last line on Astro. It shows thumbnails so is a perfect workaround until the Gallery App issue is fixed. I'm guessing its a gallery app issue as it worked fine in Android 2.3.3. and Astro works fine as an alternative.
Should I report that issue somewhere?
I'm trying to do the following.
I have a eye-fi card in my camera that transfers photos to my phone.
I also have a dropbox with "camera upload" feature turned on.
I have an app that copies photos from eye-fi folder to a DCIM/Camera folder.
What I expected to happen is that dropbox would pick that up and sync but this is not the case, it seems dropbox doesn't monitor "Camer Uploads" folder.
Does any one know if it still monitors some folder to do the camera upload or it is just registered to listen to the camera events and picks up the photo that was just taken?
Does anyone know good app that can mimic the "Camera Uploads" mode of dropbox? The FolderSync cannot do it exactly the way the DrobBox does, I've tested that already.
Currently i am running CM9 final 8/10 and experiencing a problem deleting photos using the gallery app.
1. Set camera Storage: SD Card.
2. Take picture.
3. Open Gallery, delete picture taken in step 2.
4. Using Solid Explorer (or similar) navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera-- picture taken in step 2 is still there.
In fact, after a reboot the picture will re-appear in Gallery. It seems that Gallery is deleting the photo from the media index, but not the actual photo on the SD Card.
Quick Google search brings up similar issues on other devices but no solution. Can someone confirm this issue, and maybe help resolve?

I have the same issue. Im not sure how to fix that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
The option to display pictures on a world map works only for pictures stored in folder "DCIM\Camera". If you have other pictures, like pictures taken with another phone, or you want to move pictures to sub-folders then the option is no longer available.
Basically to use the feature you need to dump all your pictures into just one big messy folder....
PS: this used to work very well in EMUI4, all pictures could be shown on the map regardless of which folder they were stored in.
Does anybody know if the gallery app in the Oreo update removes this limitation?
After upgrade to the April 5 ,Android Q beta 2 update, the camera folder suddenly disappeared altogether from Google photos!!
The photos are still there on the device if I go to a file manager but are not appearing in Google photos, the whole camera folder (and all other on device photos) is gone.
I downloaded another gallery app to test and the on device photos appear in some and not in others,wherever they do appear the photo file size appears as 0 bytes in the gallery ,even though file manager shows they are 3-4 mb.
Anybody else who experienced this and any way to resolve this ?
Cheers
I just noticed the same bug. When I take a photo and click on the image, the camera app crashes and google photos does not recognize the new pictures. They are viewable in the file manager.
I cannot replicate this bug on my device.
I found the fix. You have to re-enable permissions to photos & videos for the camera apk and google photos apk. The update must have broken the permissions.
