This has been mentioned here...

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?

Missing file downloaded from PIE - Kaisertweak issue?

Hi guys - I have a strange problem where files I have downloaded from PIE seems to be on the device (or SD card) but I cannot find them with File Explorer / Resco File explorer.
I have used Kaisertweak to set my download location as storage card\My documents\images (for images obviously - videos for video files etc).
When I download an image the picture is opened by straight after, so I know it is there - however in the property box it is listed as being in My Documents\\storage card\My documents\images. However I cannot find this directory, even by using the find file dialogue!
Has anybody else experienced this / found a solution?
I am especially concerned about there being a hidden directory in the device taking up valuable storage space - I believe I downloaded a 20MB video file at one point!
Cheers!

I think I ran into the same thing, and it was just a user misunderstanding of poor terminology. When the popup comes up saying "Would you like to save ... file to the Device" there are options for "Yes" and "Save As". If you choose yes, it doesn't seem to actually save it to the device (as you would expect, since it just asked if you want to save it) but I think that is intended to only temporarily save things like .cab files that are supposed to run and install something, kind of like the RUN option when opening a file on a regular PC. If you want to save it, I think the only way is to hit the "Save As" option and you can then choose the location.
EDIT: I didn't read your whole post before answering...as far as the Kaisertweak options for photos, video, etc., the same thing applies. Basically, the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference, as you still have to use the "Save As" option to get it to actually save.

Thanks snooginsguy - hopefully that means I don't have any large hidden video files clogging up my device memory!
I am surprised nobody has mentioned that the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference on the (long!) Kaisertweaks thread though - I would have assumed the default location is where files get saved if you don't specify a location (as they would on XP).

Could not create the voice link recording directory

When MyDocuments is moved to an SD card, each time you try to create a new Note, you get this error:
"Could not create the voice link recording directory."
Also the every file shows twice in the Notes browser.
Has anyone come up with a solution yet? What does this error mean?
How can I move the default save location from "My Documents" to "My Documents\Notes"

Has anyone seen a solution for this yet?

At least does anyone else experience it?

Hi,
I am also experiencing this and have Googled the living daylight out of this but not yet found the solution. Did you?
I also get the double entries. Not only when using the Voice Recorder but also when using Notes even without a recording.
The problem that looked simulair was with the AudioManager of the HTC Touch Pro. The sollution there was to change the directories that AudioManager was scanning. There were 2 possible entries and both were set on "My Documents". However I can't find a simulair entry for Notes or Voice Recorder, but I might have overlooked it.
Also AdvancedConfig doesn't have an entry for a Notes or Voice default directory.
If there are more issues that keep being unresolved I might even consider changing the Storage Card the way it was.
Regards,
AJ

Solved: "Could not create the voice link recording directory"
Cause: This error occurs after moving the "My Documents" folder from Main Memory to a Storage Card, Internal Storage or some other location. The (misleading) error message appears becausethe Notes application still looks for templates in the original Main Memory location. Word and Excel also show (different) error messages for the same reason.
Solution: Make sure that Notes, Word, Excel etc. templates are available in the folder "\My Documents\Templates" in Main Memory even after moving My Documents to a different location.

WM6 Templates needed.
Hi,
I also have this nasty error message. I copied the templates in the \Meine Dokumente\Vorlagen Folder (= german version of \My Documents\Templates) but it doesn't helped at all. Maybe it's because they are WM5 templates. Could anyone please copy WM6 templates ti this forum?

I solved it by browsing to My Documents and creating a new directory named My Voices.

Fix: Do not hide my documents for god's sake

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 ?
chand
the moon

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.

file timestamp w/o root

hello, i have little problem with copy my photos from old phone to p20pro. When copying files, the modification date changes and i cannot use any program to fix it, i mean QuickPic with "fix data" or Total Commander because i dont have access (i suppose root access). Its any other idea how to transfer file name -> modification date ?

so its something like bug? i have almost 2000 photos from my s7edge and already everything is mixed ;(

There is a little work around with total commander, if you have some kind of network attached storage. At least this is how I imported some 18.000 pictures from iFoto to my P20 Pro.
First, export the pictures to a folder on the network storage. Make sure you don't touch the file dates (therefore I used the export function, no idea if copying will change the date...).
Then, install the LAN plugin for Total Commander
Connect to the NAS with the LAN plugin
MOVE all the files to P20 Pro
It worked for me for all photos, they were correctly sorted in the gallery with their dates untouched. It DIDN'T work for me with screenshots or files I copied from the interwebz.
Maybe it helps, good luck!

Since it didn't work with work screenshots and downloads, that sounds like it actually modified the creation date and therefor didn't work.
The reason why you can view your photos taken with camea in the right order is because of the Exif Info in the Photo File.

best way to fix all my photo is File Timestamp but required root...
