In the DCIM folder I just see a single mp4 and jpeg file.
Somewhere the 20 still frames are hidden away but I can't find them.
Any ideas how I can backup/restore Zoe files in their entirety so I can still use the full functionality after a reset?
Cheers,
Stuart
To answer my own question, after a bit of experimentation it appears they are hiding in plain sight and saved inside the mp4 file so simply copying that back will do it.

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?

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!
Recently I tried to stop the gallery from scanning the media files (pictures) on storage with .nomedia.txt. It didnt seem to work so I ignored it. After a few days I found that my videos were "duplicated" At first there were two and then more and more. Everytime I scan media, more pops up. It seems these are just thumbnails that link to no where. As I have tried to play the files and it says file was not found. I have removed the .nomedia.txt file does not seem to resolve the problem.
Im on GT-i9000 Firmware 2.2 JPM baseband.
Just wanted you to know, you're not alone.
I'm on 2.2 JPD and have the exact same issue. Thumbnails for videos are massively duplicated in Gallery.
Don't really know why this happens, but I don't really use Gallery in the first place so it doesn't bother me as much since all my vids are in 1 directory and pictures in another.
No problems with picture thumbnails, just vid thumbnails.
The file you are making shouldn't be .nomedia.txt , Its .nomedia (without the .txt) Also I recommend you use Mvideoplayer to view videos as its awsome. If you are gutsy you could delete the /mnt/sd_card/.gallerycache folder.
To make that .nomedia file just make a blank file using notepad but when saving select ALL FILES in the option that says "Save file as"

Yup just video thumbnails. Anyways I decided to delete all the extra thumbnails and did a few reboot n rescan. the issue seems to have resolved itself how strange !
check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831042&page=6
it solved my multiple thumbnails.
I fixed mine by formatting my SD card and putting everything back in afterwards. and I deleted the thumbnail folder in DCIM.
I have hundreds of old Zoes taking up more space than they need. Is there anyway I can convert them to the new format? I have tried the obvious i.e. taking the mp4 and a single jpg and renaming them to the new naming format, but the phone sees them as separate things rather than a Zoe.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hello,
I shot some amazing zoes today and I was so pleased with them that I decided to upload them on G+ and also to do a backup on my computer before organizing them in those beautiful Zoe highlights videos. However, instead of copying the Zoes on my computer I moved them, hence, as much as I know, I can't organize them in HTC video.
I tried moving them back but, as expected, it didn't work.
So basically I was wondering if there is a way of getting those mp4 files from my computer to my phone in "zoe" format (i.e. series of 20 photos)
Thnx !

Did you transfer all 21 files? As in, 20 photos and 1 video?
If you did, I'm surprised HTC hasn't looked into that yet.
Oh well. Looks like ZOEs are only useful on the phone and nowhere else.
As a matter of fact, after the 4.2 update, zoes are saved as one .mp4 file and one photo. Therefore, If I'm not mistaken, you can access the 20 'zoe' photos only through your phone.
In the end, after some testing, I managed to save those .mp4 files to my MEDIA folder and they can be merged in a highlight video. The 4.2 update confused me a bit. I guess it's a solved problem.
Hi there,
I am new to this forum and this is my first time posting! I have the ATT samsung galaxy S5 and I am rooted but running the stock ROM. I am relatively new to android and this is my first one after three years of having iphones. Anyway, I just got a 32gb microSD card but I am having some problems making it work with the camera. Before I put the SD card in, I had several folders in my camera, such as videos, camera, screenshots, snapchat, transferred from my iphone, etc... When I transferred from my iphone, a lot of the pictures were out of order but I learned to deal with it. When I put my SD card in, all of the folders mushed together with all my videos on the top and everything out of order. Now I just have one folder called externalSDcard and one called "camera" where new pictures are stored and one called picassa. Im not even sure if they are folders or albums! How do I restore everything to how it was before but keep it all on the SD card?
HELP!
Nothing? Really?
Really the only thing you can do I believe is put the pics on your computer and then format your SD card then put them back on in their appropriate folder. Pics go in the pictures folder and mpegs go in movies folder. Hope you figure it out.

Android will scan your phone for media files and will show all in the gallery. Now in the gallery you can create albums then drag and drop pictuers or videos into them. Also the camera folder must reside in the DCIM folder.

Exactly, the file structure on your SD card hasn't changed, but gallery app is organizing them the way it wants. What's even better is if you are storing camera pictures on SD card after having stored some on internal memory, now you have two "Camera" items shown in your gallery.
Picasa, by the way, is any pictures you've stored in picasaweb (which may be "none").
You might find a different picture viewing app more to your liking. I've always liked quickpic and now it supports viewing picasa pics as well, which was one of the only reasons to use the stock Gallery. And it's free.
The only remaining reason I have to use the stock Gallery is for those "shot & more" pictures I still want to edit (but that comes with a big bug of its own).
Thanks
Thanks so much for your help! I think I am getting things sorted out. For some reason though when I move the picture around or make any kind of changes, it changes the date from the day it was taken to when I last changed the location. I think that is why all the videos are on the top. Is there anyway to change that back? Also Im not a big fan of the gallery app so I think I'll try quickpick! Ill let you know how it goes!
