Is there anyway to just add pictures to the Camera Roll folder and Saved Pictures folder that is created by the phone automatically? Say I have a bunch of pictures and want them to end up in the Camera Roll folder on my phone. Well, when I add them to the folder on my PC, they show up fine in my collection. The problem is, the folder created by Zune to back up those pics taken with my phone are in From KWILL HTC HD7. So, when I copy those pics from my PC to the device, the phone creates a From KWILL HTC HD7 folder and then puts them in the Camera Roll folder. I don't want a whole new folder just because I want to add some pics to the Saved Pictures or Camera Roll folder. Hope that makes sense and thanks for any input.
I had this when I reflashed my phone the other day, it's easy, just go to your My Pics Folder then into the KWILL folder and the Camera Roll within that, select them all, cut, then go to the new folder for your phone and paste them into the Camera Roll folder in that, once you have everything out of the KWILL Folder structure, just delete it, Zune will pick up the changes straight away and sync everything the way you have changed it.

Ok, tried that. And I think I tried that already as one of the many attempts at a workaround But, the stuff on my actual phone never syncs the stuff in the Camera Folder or Saved Pictures folder on my PC. Now my collection on the PC picks up the stuff I added, it just never makes it to the actual phone unless I add drag it all back to the phone. In which case, it then creates the stupid From KWILL HTC HD7 folder. I mean, you would think that MSFT would know that no one wants that actual folder name copied to their device and the most logical thing would be that people are just trying to put stuff into the two respective (and already created by them) folders.
Ok, nevermind. Think I got it now. This time I went to the folder that was in my collection such as Camera Roll and then right clicked and hit sync with....and now it seems to be getting it right. Fingers crossed and thanks.

How do we create a folder within the Album destination storage folder?
When I take pictures they are going on my storage card and the only visible folder is "100media". I tried creating additionnal folders within to sort my pictures but it is not seen by Album function.
Any idea, otherwise all my pics are seen in sequence 1 by one.
i didnt really got what you want ...
i mean would plz explian more
When you use the camera option, all pics taken are saved on my storage card. So they end up in 1 folder; 100media. I am looking on how to create another folder within this one to sort my pictures in categories.
ex: -100media\home i would store my home pics
-100media\kids i would store my kids pic
and so on!
well ... im not sure about that really sorry
but you can take and then move them to another folder as you want
but im sure there is away to change that but i cant remember
I tried creating additionnal folders with Explorer but when looking them up with Album function, they are nowhere to be found. All I see is the folder "100media".....
It means that if i download 200 pics on storage card, i will have to scroll through all of them to get to last one since I can't categorize them....
Found how to created folders to sort my pics.....by using Explorer you have to create other folders BUT they don't appear in Album application until you actually do transfert a pic into it......
That is why I could not see the folder once created, they were still empty
When I go to gallery and see the selections for all photos, camera shots, then the various picture folders on my vivid, what is the factor that chooses which picture is the cover thumbnail for that folder? I know for camera shots it's the most recent one, but I can't determine what it is for the others. I'd like to manipulate a dummy photo so that it's always the cover thumbnail in a few of my "other" folders!
I can't find an option to change the top picture. You may have to get another album from the play store.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Another album meaning replacement app for "gallery"?
There must be a method to the way the top picture is chosen, whether it be size, date taken, name? Ideally is like to be able to sequester certain folders from showing up at all in the gallery, accessible only by file explore r!

Have you tried creating a blank '.nomedia' file in that dir? Just a thought...
I've changed the name of some pictures before however it doesn't affect which one is selected for thumbnail view. in root explore, the folder is listed alphabetically but in gallery view it seems to be by date created?..
Is there a way I can edit a jpg file so that it says it was created in say 2005 for example? Hopefully this will allow me to choose which file is the thumbnail

Can you go to the My Pictures/Pictures folder on your PC and find an old picture - one older than the ones in your album(s)? I know I have photos 8-9 years old on my PC.
Using Windows you can edit the "date taken" by right-clicking, properties, Details tab, edit Date Taken field. Apply. OK. See if that works
Every time I take an older picture and copy it into this folder, it changed the date modified field to todays date, which makes it no longer an older picture! I even created a new folder and copied all the pictures over, with the one I wanted as the cover first, but it reverted to the same order it was in before!
On my work laptop with windows seven I'm not able to edit the date fields, I can change some other info on the file but right clicking or double clicking the date doesn't do anything.
So this is not possible to change the picture that shows up as the cover of the folder album!

Try the QuickPic app. It's free I believe. I got it because the HTC Gallery app was displaying my shots in random order, not in the order I took them. See if QuickPic works better.
Looks better! Thanks for the tip. Any way to set it to default over "gallery?"
Like when the camera is open and I click the pictures that have been taken it opens gallery

I don't see a way to change the association between the camera app and the gallery app, both from HTC. You can associate QuickPic with photos. Using a file explorer app (I use Astro), go to a folder containing photos. Long press on one file name. You will be prompted to select from Gallery or Quickpic. Check the default checkbox and then select Quickpic. This may, or may not, help some.
As for date changes on the files when you transfer them, try Dropbox or a similar app. I use it for moving files between my PC and phone. The file dates don't change.
I really miss my Resco Photo Manager from my old Windows Mobile phone. It is much better than any Android apps I have used.
Thanks, I have drop box I'll try that!
any way to enlarge the photos IN Gallery? before the ICS update the gallery was easier to see all the pictures.. but now its smaller and hard to make them out before opening it
So I was able to use custom ringtones one WP7 upon trying to transfer those to WP8 they don't work can someone enlighten me, I have to be missing something simple.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that you are overcomplicating the issue (or rather, MS overcomplicated the issue with WP7, requiring ringtones to be less than 40 seconds long and having their Genre tag set to Ringtone.)
If you plug your WP8 into a PC and browse it in Explorer, along with 'Music', 'Pictures' etc. folders there should be one called 'Ringtones'. Just drag and drop

I had done that but once I synced the phone with desktop it placed my previous ringtones even though genre was ringtone it placed all of them in the music folder. I copied them from my phone music folder to my ringtone folder and it didn't work, and once I copied from my phone to desktop those ringtones and back to phone /ringtones it works. So the drag and drop for ringtones goes from PC to phone only I read that somewhere today.
Hi... I've recently gone through most of the pictures I had on my SD card and placed them in folders that are appropriately named. I have a question with nested folders. As an example set up, I have created a folder called Animals. Inside the Dogs folder, there are several sub-folders named for the animals they represent - i.e. "Dogs", "Cats", "Birds", etc. In the file manager program they are arranged neatly with no problems. I open the stock gallery app that comes with the ROM I have on my Galaxy Note 4 and I have the option for FOLDER and TIME. When I choose FOLDER, it shows me all the folders I have created - all at one time. Is there a way to simply show the Animals folder, and then when I tap on that, I can then see the sub folders?? I placed pictures in sub folders for this reason so that I would not see a boat-load of folders on the initial screen, but I could narrow things down by folder, then sub-folder (and even, perhaps another layer of sub-folder?)? Am I missing a setting, or did I arrange things wrong, or is there another app that might show things this way, or is it just S.O.L. for what I'd like?
Thank you in advance for your answers and suggestions

Hello,
I Have used the native video editor to edit a video and saved it after trimming it to a very short length.
now i can open it in the editor because its to short and can revert it.
anyone know where the backup file path is?
If you havent use option "save as copy" then there is no backup of that video file.
There is, the new default is to save as copy behind the scenes, i can prove it with a new video
Then the original video must be inside DCIM, videos folder.
It is not, whats inside DCIM is the edited one
anyone else have an idea?
My idea is maybe you accidentally make a mistake, and chose the wrong option that instructed the phone to overwrite the original long video with the short edited one.
Put another way, I think it's impossible to prove what action you performed/selected, but all the evidence you have points to that action being choosing overwrite instead of choosing save as copy.
Put a third way, it seems like you are trying to disbelieve the evidence you have in front of you on the phone, and insist that you took a different action with no supporting evidence that you did.
Sorry to sound negative. Can you find any other evidence on the phone? Maybe you can connect the phone to a computer and use Samsung's windows application called "Smart Switch" to fully backup everything from the phone to the computer's storage. Also, consider manually copying everything from the phone to the computer. Then, you can forensically sift through the copy on the Windows computer, without worry that you might accidentally harm or irreversibly delete any of the files on the phone.
