Gallery stopped displaying older pics - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I've got the Camera saving to my sd card and until last weekend, as far as I ever noticed, the built-in Gallery app would display all of my pictures (the ones from the S5 - it doesn't search any other dirs on my sd card, grrr).
Saturday I noticed it only showed me a handful of pictures, the most recent ones taken. And since then, as far as camera pictures go, it's only showing me ones taken after that certain point. Quickpic is still showing me everything. The gallery app still shows the few older pics that are on device storage, just not sd card.
Any ideas why? The only thing I can relate this to is that I tried the "drama" mode for the first time that day - the finished picture is in the "Studio" directory in phone storage, not SD, and it's the regular camera pictures taken before that point that are not showing.
I'm not a big fan of the gallery app in general, and now that quickpic shows my picasa pics I don't really need it, but I would still like to fix this.

[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.

3d gallery help

why does my 3d gallery suddenly went empty if i capture succesive photos? after capturing a series of images,if i go to the gallery to view the images, the gallery just went blank.. then after a few hours, the images are back with the recent pictures i took.. im currently on 2.2.1.. any ideas guys?
Most likely your SDCard is being rescanned for new media, therefore the gallery needs time to repopulate itself. I often notice after taking pictures or downloading new wallpapers my gallery will also be empty and if I stay on the screen long enough a small message will appear "loading new images" or something to that effect. Hope this helps you.

Can't see pictures in Gallery app anymore

Hi, I've moved some photos from my phone to the PC. Now, when I'm going to the gallery, I can't see any of the photos I took. The photos that I moved were on 100MEDIA folder. If now I take a new photo, it goes to the 100MEDIA folder where the old photos are located. I tried different galleries but any of them says that there are no photos/video available. I've rebooted the phone many times and I've tried to restore that pictures on the phone too, but with no luck. What sould I do?

Saved Pictures Aren't Shown in Photos App Although Present on the Phone. Viewer Issue

Howdy,
Lately I've been saving a number of pictures from Internet Explorer and Whatsup, and once I got to Photos|Saved pictures, I saw many saved photos aren't there. Curious, I've plugged the phone to the PC and browsed to SD Card\Pictures\Saved Pictures and... all of the saved pictures were there in the Saved picture, they just didn't appear in the Photos app.
What could be the issue? Could that be traced anyhow? Pretty itching issue.

PS.: I've been experiencing an issue like that when I've had reading failures after I turned on Full File System Access once on my Samsung ATIV S. But then I had issues with Photos app closing every now and then after it was launched. I don't experience such issues now, Photos app and other apps like Camera don't close on starting.
Hmm... are they all image formats that the Pictures app recognizes? IE supports a lot of image formats (SVG, for example) that are not officially supported image formats on the phone.
When you save a picture in IE, it gets shown fullscreen and there's a message at the top, even when it says finished, it only saves the picture when you wait for it to disappear, clicking back will cancel it.

[Q] Gallery not updating!! Adding pics to phone storage HELP!!

So, i got my s6 128gb edge today..
I took a few pictures and added them to the pictures directory and also added them to DCIM.
when I pull up gallery i cant see anything!
things i've tried:
1) restarting the phone and clearing gallery cache
2) media scanning 3rd party apps from play store.
3) Taking a picture with the camera then trying to create an album. then dropping photos into the newly created album
4) Factory Resetting the phone.
This all happened after I applied a theme. (at least when I noticed it)
Is anyone else having an issue with this? I can't find one thread or post about this issue
I want to load my s5's pics to my edge's but it just WONT go.
