I understand that there was a problem with using an SD Card as storage for photos on earlier versions of Lineage.
Whilst the pictures were saved to the card they were not stored in the standard photo directory DCIM/camera but in Android/data/org.lineageos.snap/files. Gallery can't find photos stored here .....so users have to manually transfer them.
As far as I can see this problem still persists in my installation.
Do anybody know if a solution is in sight or whether there is workaround ?

Hi, I been using quick pic for years to be my gallery. I arrange photos and use the password protect for private photos. I got some private photos and wanted to put them in my folder on the ext. SD card. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this isn't working. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Guess no one uses quick pic to organize their photos. I still have not figured out how to use the SD card to save photos.
Are you on KitKat? Writing to external sd was disabled on KitKat. A possible solution would be to edit the platform.xml to enable writing to the external sd. You'll have to be rooted to edit system files though.
Hi
I am using blisspop rom in my lg g3 16.
I dont have enough memory in my internal storage, so Iwant to save the new pictures in my sd card.
I have tried going to the google camera settings but I didn't find anything.
Also I have tried downloading camera mx amd then selecting the external storage but this too didn't work cause it doesn't shows me the external storage there.
P.S just to make things a bit more clear , thevsd card works fine and it is mountes.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Hi all...so, i buy the microSD KIngston SDCA3/64GB 4k2k to have more speed on card and more storage, i have it formated in exFAT and the card works fine to copy, paste and move files (but is not that speedy, anyway A1 SD Bench shows 81MB Read and 58MB Write).
But, when i go into Camera app and change the location of saved photos and videos to my SD card and when take the photo is looking ok, the thumbnail appear on right bottom side, but when i open the gallery to see the picture i see not the picture but one "image" with a advertise sign something like my file are broken or something like that, and when i try to record videos it shows: "Failed write the file" and i cant record any videos to SD card!
i'm rooted, in Stock Lollipop and before i have this card i have a Samsung EVO 32GB card and it works fine with the phone...whats wrong with the card?! isnt compatible? what i can do to record videos into them?
UPDATE: forget this, i solve the problem, in fact the problem is the permissions to record to sd card, and i install sd fix from playstore and now i can record into sd card! perfect now...
I recently formatted an SD card as internal storage for my Oneplus X running on Lineage OS. I made a manual backup of all my photos previously on the SD card onto my PC, and now I wish to transfer them back to my phone. Problem is, I can only access the phone's 'internal shared storage', and not the SD card, via Windows file explorer. There is a DCIM folder within internal storage; however, it has only 4GB of free space, not enough for my photos.
Because I enabled Google Photos cloud backup, I can currently view the photos on my phone but they are of much lower quality and requires an internet connection to download them. What I wish to do is to gain access to the formatted SD card, so I can move my photos back in and view them in original quality on my phone. Thanks.
I know that Gcam doesn't have an option to save photos taken to the SD card. Is there a way to move them automatically yo the SD card?
Just do it manually every week or so.
Do not name the SD folder DCIM or ever try to change the name of the original folder.
I found a way to get it done automatically by using Macrodroid, after I close Gcam, it moves all those pics to my SD card
