Is there any way to organize the photos taken by the phone camera into different folders by album or date ? Right now they all get clumped into a single folder called camera

in the gallery app u can switch so it sorts/groups by date

photo album settings

Does anyone know where the settings for what folders get searched for pics?
When you go to my albums it shows all icons, and such in folders in my internal memory. Pictures and all. I was wondering if there is a way for it to search for pics in the picture folders only?

[Q] Strange Gallery Problem

I am having some weird problems with my Gallery app.
1) Gallery seems to take a long time to open certain photos. While the photo is opening, the screen will usually timeout and turn off before it's even displayed. If I keep the screen awake, sometimes the picture will never load. I can flick to another photo and then back and I'll see the picture.
2) Copied a few photos to a folder on my Internal SD card. All of them are around 1-2M, 72dpi photos taken with various digital cameras. When I browse to that folder in the gallery, it will hang and take forever to generate the previews. Of the 10 photos in the gallery, 8 of them will not generate a preview and I can't open them. I have one photo that does open but the same exact photo that was touched up in Photoshop and has all the same properties as the original will not open.
Media scanner is working, I am able to add/remove photos to the internal storage and they open fine on my laptop, I can take new photos although they don't always show up in the gallery immediately.
My phone is the Vibrant and has been rooted, fixlag applied, and Captivate camera apk installed. This problem was happening before I changed the camera software.

facebook pictures

So one of the newer features of facebook it's the ability to save photos instead of screenshotting them. Useful for funny pictures etc.
The photos save in a folder named "facebook" inside the DCIM folder, except in the gallery app the photos are in the camera shots album.
It's not a big deal, but I get pretty ocd about how things are organised in my phone, and pictures I take mixed with facebook photos is a big no no.
Is there a way to change this so that appears in it's own album?
If it helps, I installed the vanilla 4.2 gallery (with the photsphere capabilities) app and the pictures saved in facebook are in desperate albums from my photos, but I prefer to use the default app.
Thanks for any help

Why Camera app most recent picture is not from DCIM/Camera folder?

Hi,
If I tap on a most recent picture in my Camera app it opens and let's me scroll pictures from WhatsApp images folder.
But not from Internal Storage/DCIM/Camera folder.
How could I change that?
Thanks!!!
PS: The only solution I've found - hide albums in Gallery app or use .nomedia file in those folders. But this is not a solution. I still want to access those albums but not in Camera app.

Question Photo album alternatives (Android and Windows)

Hey everyone,
When I take a photo in Portrait mode, I have the option to adjust the focus after the shot in the Albums app.
Are there any other apps I can use on for mobile and Windows that will allow me to adjust the focus, or is that feature gone when a photo is uploaded (full size) to the cloud for backup?
I'm asking because after a while I want to clean up the photos/videos on my phone to free up space but would still like to go back to some of the older photos every now and then.
Thanks!
