Running a stock Nexus 6 w 5.1 lmy47d on T-Mobile in case it matters. At some point over the last couple weeks it seems that Photos has been updated (or at least the gallery view part of it) so that photos I've edited replace the original photo instead of showing up as a new image. That's in Photos, where selecting the edited photo gives me the option to view the original by clicking a little button.
When I'm trying to post an image on fb or text it to someone, however, I can only see the original image with no way to find the edited version. Needless to say the various folders and navigation options for locating images were already confusing, but this really messes me up. Is there a way to turn this "helpful" feature off? Why can't photos just all be there? Why are edited images no longer stored under On Device? Where is everything.......?
Arggggh.

On Android 2.1 the camera app would save images files named:
"2010-06-22 14.49.58.jpg"
Now on FRF83, images are being named like:
"IMG_20100628_114802.jpg"
Is there any way to change this back to the 2.1 naming style? It is easier to read, plus all the pics I have taken are already named that way, so I would like to keep it consistent.
I searched but didn't turn up anything.

Probably easier just to mount your SD card on a computer and use a batch rename command to update your old files with the new naming scheme.
As I said, I don't care for the new naming scheme. I find it unnecessarily difficult to quickly and easily read the date/time stamp.
Surely there is some way to change this...

That's not the case with photos already uploaded to Picasa. Picasa web albums are automatically displayed within the gallery. Unfortunately, the file name affects how they are sorted. Consequently, new photos I've uploaded to picasa show up after (i.e., to the "right" of) old photos I previously uploaded. So now, until the end of time, there is a chunk of photos in each Picasa album that will be "stuck" in front of new photos.
The only way I can "fix" this is by running a script my SD card to rename the new images to the old format and then using "Share" to upload them to Picasa.
The FroYo camera is really disappointing. My photos are washed out. They are named incorrectly. And the camera preview that used to zip up quickly to let me delete the last photo now forwards me to the gallery where I may have to wait minutes for the new photo to load. It's really upsetting.
Hey all,
Bit of a weird one, since going from stock to Fr11 using Google Gallery (rather than LG which I didn't bake into the ROM) it seems that the photos are stored backwards. So my oldest photos show at the front and I have to scroll all the way to the end to see any new ones, I can't find any options to change the order they are displayed in.
I am using External SD as main storage.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Check your device date, did you take any with the wrong date?
P
Device date is OK and just taken a photo which has ended up at the end.
99% of the photos are from my Desire which remained on the SD card, I have only taken a couple with my LG2X and have now deleted those photos, cleared all app data and cache for gallery and re-scanned media...still the same :/
I have the same problem and it is painful
Quick update, as I was upgrading to Fr12 last night I cooked the LG gallery back into the ROM. Running this instead of standard Google gallery (even if they look the same) the photos are now in the correct order again.
just replaced my G2X with the O4X yesterday and i'm setting this up. I've noticed when taking pictures, it's CAM00XX as the naming format.
is there a way to change it to timestamps for the file name?
i found this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5waGFzaXAuY2FtZXJhZm9sZGVycyJd
which apparently does it for you, but i'd rather not have to add apps just to rename picture if i can avoid it

yes our LG 4X uses that format for both photos and videos in continuous numbering.
Its easier if you sort by name on PC, you can have videos and photos in order of which time they are taken at.
welcome to LG4x community btw:highfive::good:
The problem though is those pictures go into my Dropbox with my photos taken with my previous phone and my wife's phone. By not being able to change it to img_<timestamp> it gets shuffled into older pictures and makes it a pain to sift through.
Edit
Never mind. When it uploads to Dropbox via camera upload the file name changes to a timestamp. I can live with my phone having the annoying change as long as dropbox stays consistent

Somehow I messed up setting up my wife's new Moto X. In the past I had some tasker tasks to transfer all the photos off our phones and onto our NAS every night. In setting up the task on her new phone I deleted a slew of pictures. I know the original photos are gone and I'll face the music on that one. However, if I go to camera and swipe to the left I can scroll through all the photos. I can't email or share any because the file is gone, but if I can see the photos there must be a low res image someplace on the phone still. Anyone know how to access these and possibly get me out of the doghouse? They're not in the DCIM folder at all. I poked around in the Android/Data folder a bit, but did not find them.
On the same note, is there a way to clean these out over time? Seems to me if I have a thumbnail of every photo ever taken it would eventually fill up the storage.
Thanks
Get an app like astro file manager, or root Explorer and go to storage then DCIM and your thumbnail pics should be there.

Those are probably all cached. As for recovering them, I'm sure you can find them in the cache -- I don't know where they'd be saved (I believe there is a /cache partition but then there's also the possibility that the gallery caches those previews somewhere in /data/). It may be easier to to screen shot the ones you want.
EDIT: see above post - that's probably what you want
As for the cache growing, I'd imaging that the gallery app has some sort of maintenance. But there is always the option of using apps (I have SD Maid, personally) and/or periodically clearing the cache partition via a custom recovery
Thanks all. This was good info also. I ended up finding the files on my NAS which leads me to a whole other question which I will post seperately from this as it only related by symptoms.
Hi all,
Firstly apologies if this has already been answered, I've had a search but can't find anything.
I've transferred my files from my phone to my computer and what's odd is that photos appear to be taking on a random file naming convention. Sometimes the photo starts IMG, other times is starts DSC, and I can't figure it out.
I only use the stock rom (albeit the trimmed version), stock photo app, I've changes between launchers etc....
The only possibility could be that I may have switched from trimming my own app to using the pre-trimmed image and maybe the region of the rom affects the naming?
If anyone has answers it'd be great, as I'd love to have my photos imported in the order I took them, many thanks in advance for any replies.
Martin
