HTC Album Ignore folder

Hi. I found a way to make htc album ignore some folders you don't want to see . For example i do not want it to show me all pictures stored in "/Program files".
You just have add values to the registry with the route of the folder you want to ignore in
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignore
the problem is that it doesn't work for folders in the Internal Storage, like tom tom map folder ("\Internal storage\Iberia" in my case)
Any help?
Thanks

Does this work for music and videos too?

music???? its about htc album, so i guess pictures and videos, but nothing related to music..

If you store album art in the form of jpg's, then the Picture Viewer will display those mixed in with your real photos. Ideally, you would want to exclude the Music folder.

in fact, the music folder is by default excluded in my daimond, but only music folder in main memory.
the problem is that i can not manage to exclude folders in internal storage, it just doesnt work.. if someone manages to exclude folders in internal storage, we will be able to exclude any folder we want..

Don't have a Diamond for myself to try it but worth a try if you haven't already. Have you tried e.g. using "\Iberia" instead of "\Internal storage\Iberia"?

thanks for your answer. yes, i did, but did not work.
also tried "storage card\iberia" and "\%storage card%\iberia

Any update on this?
Would be nice to get rid of unwanted folders in Album...

This has been mentioned a few times before.
Connect the diamond to a PC in disk drive mode and use windows explorer to find all image files. Select the ones you don't want to see in album and mark them as hidden. Once the files are all hidden, the folders will no longer appear in Album.

Thanks man,
Stupid me never thought of that.

TY for this info mas now Album folder is usable !

This usually happens when the SD Card has been changed and you've drag and dropped the DCIM folder to the new card. Try renaming the current DCIM folder, then reinsert the card and take a new picture. Copy paste the old 100media folder to the new DCIM folder. Soft reset. Tada!

Gallery folder un-findable

So I loaded Serendipity today. Master cleared and everything. So I was really surprised to find old pictures on my phone when I opened the gallery app. And strangely it wouldn't let me delete them. Hmm. So I looked in the sd folders, dcim etc. Cannot find these pics anywhere! The gallery app did tell me the file names So I loaded up root explorer and ran a search... NOTHING!
These pics show in my gallery but I can't find the files anywhere. Where are they hiding?

Went into the stetting, manage applications, to the gallery app and hit clear data, and these strange photos vanished! Still don't know where they were. but they are gone now. Would loveto hear where they were stored if anyone knows...

Spoke too soon! So after a reboot, the folder of pics comes back! If I clear the gallery app's data, it vanishes again, but returns after every reboot. Can anyone help with this?

Is it a stack of thumbnails (separate folder path) or viewable image files? If you have external SD maybe browse it on a PC.

It still there with no external SD, and I can't find it from the PC or root explorer.
You, know, I have a blog, and these all seem to be photos on my blog. And blogger seems to be hooked to Picasa Web albums. So I'm thinking Gallery pulls pulls the contents of my Picasa Web album down to the phone... could this be? Can it be stopped?

If you have them linked then yes that is where they are comming from and why they keep comming back. The only way to stop it would be to but a no media file in the target folder, back draw is that the file will hide it from all Android apps that look for media

[q] dates on photos and videos

Is there anyway to remove dates from photos and videos in Album. They are all on my sd card but the Xperia Z has grouped the m by date which i don't want.

Create folders, move them to folders and then use My Albums sorting method.

I have done that but when i relaunch it still opens in "pictures" with the dates. Plus in "albums" is there a way to remove the maps and globe location parts as i don't use those either.

Delete Thumbnails from Albums JB

Hi all, I can't seem to find the thumbnails file to delete in the DCIM folder. I have looked in the folder and its not there. I have removed some pictures but they are still showing. Where does Android store these pictures thumbnails? It's very annoying. I tried refreshing and still no luck. I'm currently using ROM called CyanASOP 1.8 this is driving me crazy.

Clear the data for the gallery app.

I have
I have but it still doesn't clear the thumbnails. I have even deleted the a folder and nothing. The folder shows up in the thumbnails but then there are no pictures.

Thumbnails are stored in a hidden folder inside DCIM. The folder name is ".thumbnail" and the dot in front of the name makes it hidden. You need a file explorer that can show hidden files. Note that you do not need root. Look inside the settings of your file explorer and see if there is a setting to display hidden files.

Question Images in Camera Album not getting opened

Hi
Yesterday after i tried to transfer some files to my laptop through USB cable, i observed that images in my mobile (Redmi Note 10 pro) camera album are not getting opened.
The error it is showing is 'file format isn't supported or files are corrupted'.
However the same files which were supposed to be under DCIM folder...were now visible in new folder names G Cloud -> DCIM. In the file manager, in the above gcloud folder, I am able to view the said images.
I am perplexed. What happened to my mobile ? Any malware/virus? Pls help me out.
Also today..I could observe some of my contacts disappearing.

The size of the files about 20k indicates that you didn't transfer the photos but the files of the generated thumbnails (little preview pictures) for the photos.
That several files are transferred in a bad way so that only the first 20k get transferred sounds not plausible, but could also be possible.
Not long time ago I saw a thread with a similar question. You may also have a look in forums of similar devices (same OS).
