thanks...but no one solved ther problem!!

news??

There are various registry settings which I've tried changing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
HTC
Camera
Image
SaveFolder
This looked promising, but if you enter a folder name in the "SaveFolder" setting (I tried one called "photos") it simply changes the settings so the camera now saves in \My Documents\[date]\photos!
There are also further possibilities in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
IA Style
IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)
2.70
Strings
Image Folder
The folder is set to \My Documents as a deault. It is possible to change this folder to a different one, but it appears that when you start the camera application, it resets this back to \My Documents.
Anyone have any further ideas?

Did anyone get any further with this?

PPC Camera 'Save Folder' Tweak

Hi there, i had found out a way to change the camera save folder. here are the registry hacks. try it out.
1. First, set the camera settings to save the images to the Storage Card
2. Using a Registry Editor, go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image and change the SaveFolder string to your desired folder name. Ive change mine to - photos
3. Now when I take a snapshot, my images will be saved in \Storage Card\My Documents - photos folder
hope this will help those guys who really tired of having a lot of folders in the storage card directory.
first time attach 4 snopshot, sorry if the arrangement of the snapshot that i had taken is not in the sequence

"2. Using a Registry Editor, go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image and change the SaveFolder string to your desired folder name. Ive change mine to - photos "
sorry Don't really understand how to do the second part.
please help

Get a registry editor, such as PHM RegEdit, which allows you to modify your XDA's registry hive - this way, you can go and change configuration settings to how you like them (one of these configuration settings being the path to the folder which the camera app saves photos and videos in).
I discovered this hack myself about six months ago, but thought it was a pretty minor one so I didn't share it on here (couldn't be arsed to write out how I did it, for one thing! lazy student, hehe)... It's really not that hard, so long as you follow the instructions and don't edit the wrong thing (I bricked my XDA once by ****ing about with the registry, but it was time for a hard reset anyway).

Have you found a way of stopping the camera application from saving the photos in a subfolder, named after today's date? The camera software on the Blue Angel device allows you to do this - i.e. to specify the "save" folder exactly. I'd be very interested if anyone has managed to do this.

remove the directory "My Document" ?

Hi,
In wm5 , I try to change the default saving camera photo directory into \Storage Card\ , but it still provide me a directory \My Document\, like this-> \Storage Card\My Document\
The value of this registry will change back to \My Document\ whatever the value I modify after the exit of all program and reboot. So strange??
Which value of registry should I change? My aim is to change the directory of saving camera photo taken into like this \Storage Card\Pictures
because when I sync with pc, the windows media player will copy the files to \Storage Card\Pictures not a default \Storage Card\My Pictures\ (If I can set the sync directory, then it's great.)
Thanks a lot.
Jim

If you want photos NOT to go into the \Storage Card\My Documents\<whatever>, then you change the SaveFolder registry key to be "..\My Pictures". This will cause them to go into "Storage Card\My Pictures" instead of "Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures".

Newbie. simple question. looked already. registry tweak

new at this.
new xda mini s
sucessfully perormed the 'Caps lock indicator' tweak using total commander.
looking to move photos to storage card or even 'my documents' to storage card.
I am sure it is on this web site or wiki but I have looked for a week.
Thanks

I don't know about moving the My Documents folder to the storage card but moving the picture/video storage to the storage card is quite simple ^_^ Simply load the Camera application, click the settings button (the icon with the picture of the screwdriver and hammer), click Tools -> Options..., then goto the General tab. At the bottom of that window you will see 'Save to:' followed by a drop box. Change the value there from Main Memory to Storage Card. Now all of the pictures and videos that you take will be saved to your storage card instead of to the phones main memory. I hope this helps some ^_^

good start
was not quite what I was thinking but actually it will do the job for the moment.
Thanks

Why not just use total commander in 2 window mode and drag and drop the entire picture folder onto the storage card? Why would you need a registy tweak to move photos? :?:

To keep the camera from saving it to the main memory to save space

I haven't tried it myself but wouldn't a simple shortcut do the trick? delete the My Documents on the device and put a shortcut to a folder on the storage card instead...

If you delete the My Docs folder from the device Mobile Word at the very least will cease to function (at least in my experiences...)
I use the info I found Help I need to remove SD Card reg hack for \storage card\my documents\my pictures to default my camera's pics and videos to \\storage card\my documents\my pictures and \my images.
The exact key is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card
Attached is a cab (rename from the zip extension) that changes the 0 to a 1 in both places.
Bear in mind that ActiveStink will NOT sync folders on your SC so you need to either do it manually or use a 3rd party solution.
Hope I was of some help.

thank you.so helpful.

Has anyone figured out how to...

make "Picures and Videos" automatically open to the storage card rather than to the device? I store all of my media on the card (like everybody does), and therefore "Pictures and Videos" requires several steps for me to get to my media collection. Very annoying!!!
I am running Win Mo 6.1 on the AT&T Tilt. I really don't want to change my rom since I'm a newbie and am satisfied with the AT&T rom minus the bloatware.
Thanks.

You need Kaiser Tweak. Under option Locations: and Camera: you can set up the default destination folders. Google "KaiserTweak-nikagl-080307-0912.cab".
Hope that helps.

That doesn't work for me.
I have KaiserTweak. I am already saving pictures to my storage card. However, when I open "Pictures", "Videos", or "Pictures and Videos", the first place the application tries to search is the device not the card. I have to go through a series of taps to get to my media.
This sucks.
I downloaded S2V, and it's pretty good for browsing through thumbnails of my pictures. It remembers and opens the last folder I explored.
If I could find a similar program for browsing through thumbnails of my videos. I'd be in business.
Thanks.

Use Schap's AdvancedConfig, Change Default Picture Location to you Storage Card. That's how I got it to do that before I started using Manilla.

Didn't work for me.
My phone was already set to save pics, audio, and video to the card. I reselcted the card and did a soft reset, but the program "Pictures and Videos" still looks on the device first, requiring multiple taps to get to my media collection. Thanks anyway.

Is there such an app? Direct all to storage card?

Hello all,
It was suggested to me to post this question here.
I am looking for a way to basically poing any and all possible to the storage card. I think I remember a couple years back finding one for my Hermes here at XDA-Developers.com but now I can't seem to locate it??
I would like it if someone knows how to or an app to do this if they could let me know. I think I remember the other one being a .cab that directed everything to the card.
Does this make sense to anyone?
PS: I know on the camera app you can select the device or the card.

Make it little clear
do you want to receive files(say songs etc) through bluetooth and get them stored in memory card and want to place inbox in memory card ?

Well what I was thinking was I would like any and all files to be stored on the card.
For instance, when active-sync creates a short cut on the desktop (pc) for files to be sync'd there is a list of folders... If I click "Explore" in AS it opens to files on my device. Now if I follow it correctly, all the files in the (pc) desktop shortcut leads to the folders in the "My Docs" on the device.
The last sentenance is what I would like to change, I would like for any and all files besides apps or system files to be stored on the card.
Meaning, no "My docs" on the device memory, just the card.
Is there a way in the registry or something else to change the path for said folders to be redirected to the memory card?

I don't think there is an app that will do this
SKTools has a "move file" option that says it will move the file and update information in the registry, but its not clear if this applies to folders
Now, you could try using a registry editor with find-replace to find all instances of "/My Documents" and change it to something like "/Storage Card/My Documents", then soft reset and see if that works -- I can't seem to find a registry editor that does find and replace like this -- anyone?

Advanced Config Tool (attached) will allow you to specify default locations for directories.
