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

Does anyone know of a good gallery app replacement? Both free and paid apps are fine, just after being used to the sense gallery on my EVO I despise the stock android gallery the Galaxy tab has, basically i'm looking for a gallery app that like the sense one can properly view high res photo's instead of scaling up and making them look blurry like the default one, can view Facebook albums like sense, can view videos and properly shows thumbnails for the video's and can share photo's directly to Facebook, I tried Just Pictures which I've seen a lot of people recommend, but like it's name says it's just pictures, no videos, and it can't share to Facebook.
Quickpic is a good gallery replacement. It fixed the problem of blurry jpg images that the stock gallery app causes. It is also free!
Hi all,
What I did is, I took a zoe photo, and then I moved the zoe photo by the spliting function to /Picture folder.
Afterthat I use the ES explorer to move back those 20photos+1video files to 100MEDIA folder. And now, I cannot see the moving zoe in the photo album, and it just shows the 3 sec. video.
How can I restore it back? Thanks a lot for helping.

It is a little different. So click on the video and when it's playing click it again it will pause. You can then use the slider at the bottom to go through the frames. Once you find a frame you like you can go to menu and save the frame.

Thanks. However what I mean is now the album recongize it as a video clip instead of a zoe photo. So it cannot show it in a magic zoe style.
Anyway to solve it? Thanks.
You can't. Looked at the gallery sqlite database using sqlite editor. You can see there that Zoe photos are stored in there. Once a Zoe photo is removed the data get's deleted and when you return it back it doesn't recognize the zoe photo anymore because the deleted data in the database is totally gone.
I assume that the camera app creates that data in there everytime you take a photo and mediaserver removes it when it can't detect it anymore.

Thanks a lot. That means I've no way to resolve it back.
However, I think out a issue, for example, if we change to another New HTC one, we cannot just copy all files from the old phone to the new one with the zoe album keep alive in the new one.
Yes! Or maybe you can by backing up the data of the gallery and restore it back on a new device(Would require root though).
Also I have made this suggestion already on HTC about a month ago about the issues with Zoe, Gallery & dropbox but they ignored it. Seems like they didn't get enough response about the issue.
When you save pics from Facebook app , it gets saved to a folder Facebook .
But in HTC Gallery those pics are displayed in Camera Shots.
In other gallery app like Quickpic it shows it gets saved in Facebook folder.
So this is annoying because those unwanted facebook pics get synced with Google Photos(where i have enabled only the pics in Camera folder to get synced)
So is there any way that these pics are not displayed in Camera shots? Any fix?
I am on Sense 6 rom, viper Rom.
I have just bought my first HTC (M9) and I am getting annoyed by the same thing.... did you solve? anyone can help?
Okay, so I'm having a weird issue on my Nexus 6
I have several camera apps on my phone –*Google Camera, Manual Camera, Camera FV-5, Open Camera, etc.
All of them save their pictures to the same directory (/DCIM/Camera)
For some reason, however, the only photos that my phone "recognizes" as actually being there are the ones taken by the Google Camera app.
What I mean by "recognizes":
If I go to Facebook to post an image, it will only show the ones taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Google Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I browse to the Camera folder using Device Folders in Google Photos, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
Much weirder still, though:
If I click on the image previews in Manual Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Open Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
I.e., if I take a picture in Manual Camera, then click it's preview icon? It will show me the most recent picture taken in Google Camera.
I know these other images are saving correctly, in the correct directory, as if I browse to it in Solid Explorer, the files are all there and I can open them just fine.
But for some reason, any app that deals in media and not in file-structure won't recognize them as being there unless they were taken in Google Camera
I'm at a loss. I've tried deleting and recreating the directory; same issue. And it's not just one app that does this – any app that I take pictures in, the photos do not show up, unless it was taken with Google Camera.
Help?
I have a z3c (locked, but I can unlock if it's needed) that I would like to find all pictures an photos and save them somewhere else. It looks like there is photos everywhere, under facebook, messenger, edited, camera and so on. For me it looks like a real mess. Is there a way to first find all photos and then copy them?
