Hi... I've recently gone through most of the pictures I had on my SD card and placed them in folders that are appropriately named. I have a question with nested folders. As an example set up, I have created a folder called Animals. Inside the Dogs folder, there are several sub-folders named for the animals they represent - i.e. "Dogs", "Cats", "Birds", etc. In the file manager program they are arranged neatly with no problems. I open the stock gallery app that comes with the ROM I have on my Galaxy Note 4 and I have the option for FOLDER and TIME. When I choose FOLDER, it shows me all the folders I have created - all at one time. Is there a way to simply show the Animals folder, and then when I tap on that, I can then see the sub folders?? I placed pictures in sub folders for this reason so that I would not see a boat-load of folders on the initial screen, but I could narrow things down by folder, then sub-folder (and even, perhaps another layer of sub-folder?)? Am I missing a setting, or did I arrange things wrong, or is there another app that might show things this way, or is it just S.O.L. for what I'd like?
Thank you in advance for your answers and suggestions

How do we create a folder within the Album destination storage folder?
When I take pictures they are going on my storage card and the only visible folder is "100media". I tried creating additionnal folders within to sort my pictures but it is not seen by Album function.
Any idea, otherwise all my pics are seen in sequence 1 by one.
i didnt really got what you want ...
i mean would plz explian more
When you use the camera option, all pics taken are saved on my storage card. So they end up in 1 folder; 100media. I am looking on how to create another folder within this one to sort my pictures in categories.
ex: -100media\home i would store my home pics
-100media\kids i would store my kids pic
and so on!
well ... im not sure about that really sorry
but you can take and then move them to another folder as you want
but im sure there is away to change that but i cant remember
I tried creating additionnal folders with Explorer but when looking them up with Album function, they are nowhere to be found. All I see is the folder "100media".....
It means that if i download 200 pics on storage card, i will have to scroll through all of them to get to last one since I can't categorize them....
Found how to created folders to sort my pics.....by using Explorer you have to create other folders BUT they don't appear in Album application until you actually do transfert a pic into it......
That is why I could not see the folder once created, they were still empty
Hi there,
i searched the forum for a while now for a problem that every now and then pops up for me after reflashing. I'm searching for an automatic way to assign my own thumbnail graphics on the sense internet tab.
I use the manual way sometimes after flashing, but it is not satisfying me, because it takes lot of time to copy the files, rename my original files to the newly created ones and copy them back. So most of the time i don't use the icons...
Yes, i know that the pics have to be 512x512px PNG Files, and i also know that they are stored under Windows\Thumbnails .
I'm searching for where the information for the lookup of these pics (for example {2B1EE4E4-651F-D4DC-708B-DB1319CA381E}.png) is stored. I neither found it in the registry, nor in the filesystem as plain text. I copied the whole file system to my pc and did a in-file-search.
For me there are now to last possibilities where to find them:
Theyre stored as hex values in registry or in filesystem, so that a normal textsearch is useless or
theyre stored in a database file.
If someone has an idea which file it is or if theres another possibility i would be glad to hear it. It makes me crazy that we can change EVERYTHING on our wm-devices since years, but something like the bookmark icons (whch is significant for me) is so hard to find
best regards, Puckmeister
Are you looking for "Custom icons" or just a snapshot of the webpage? I know that if you save the favorite in opera 9/10 and open the favorite from inside opera (from the favorites menu) you will then see the screenshot of said favorite in sense.
Is there anyway to just add pictures to the Camera Roll folder and Saved Pictures folder that is created by the phone automatically? Say I have a bunch of pictures and want them to end up in the Camera Roll folder on my phone. Well, when I add them to the folder on my PC, they show up fine in my collection. The problem is, the folder created by Zune to back up those pics taken with my phone are in From KWILL HTC HD7. So, when I copy those pics from my PC to the device, the phone creates a From KWILL HTC HD7 folder and then puts them in the Camera Roll folder. I don't want a whole new folder just because I want to add some pics to the Saved Pictures or Camera Roll folder. Hope that makes sense and thanks for any input.
I had this when I reflashed my phone the other day, it's easy, just go to your My Pics Folder then into the KWILL folder and the Camera Roll within that, select them all, cut, then go to the new folder for your phone and paste them into the Camera Roll folder in that, once you have everything out of the KWILL Folder structure, just delete it, Zune will pick up the changes straight away and sync everything the way you have changed it.

Ok, tried that. And I think I tried that already as one of the many attempts at a workaround But, the stuff on my actual phone never syncs the stuff in the Camera Folder or Saved Pictures folder on my PC. Now my collection on the PC picks up the stuff I added, it just never makes it to the actual phone unless I add drag it all back to the phone. In which case, it then creates the stupid From KWILL HTC HD7 folder. I mean, you would think that MSFT would know that no one wants that actual folder name copied to their device and the most logical thing would be that people are just trying to put stuff into the two respective (and already created by them) folders.
Ok, nevermind. Think I got it now. This time I went to the folder that was in my collection such as Camera Roll and then right clicked and hit sync with....and now it seems to be getting it right. Fingers crossed and thanks.
When I go to gallery and see the selections for all photos, camera shots, then the various picture folders on my vivid, what is the factor that chooses which picture is the cover thumbnail for that folder? I know for camera shots it's the most recent one, but I can't determine what it is for the others. I'd like to manipulate a dummy photo so that it's always the cover thumbnail in a few of my "other" folders!
I can't find an option to change the top picture. You may have to get another album from the play store.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Another album meaning replacement app for "gallery"?
There must be a method to the way the top picture is chosen, whether it be size, date taken, name? Ideally is like to be able to sequester certain folders from showing up at all in the gallery, accessible only by file explore r!

Have you tried creating a blank '.nomedia' file in that dir? Just a thought...
I've changed the name of some pictures before however it doesn't affect which one is selected for thumbnail view. in root explore, the folder is listed alphabetically but in gallery view it seems to be by date created?..
Is there a way I can edit a jpg file so that it says it was created in say 2005 for example? Hopefully this will allow me to choose which file is the thumbnail

Can you go to the My Pictures/Pictures folder on your PC and find an old picture - one older than the ones in your album(s)? I know I have photos 8-9 years old on my PC.
Using Windows you can edit the "date taken" by right-clicking, properties, Details tab, edit Date Taken field. Apply. OK. See if that works
Every time I take an older picture and copy it into this folder, it changed the date modified field to todays date, which makes it no longer an older picture! I even created a new folder and copied all the pictures over, with the one I wanted as the cover first, but it reverted to the same order it was in before!
On my work laptop with windows seven I'm not able to edit the date fields, I can change some other info on the file but right clicking or double clicking the date doesn't do anything.
So this is not possible to change the picture that shows up as the cover of the folder album!

Try the QuickPic app. It's free I believe. I got it because the HTC Gallery app was displaying my shots in random order, not in the order I took them. See if QuickPic works better.
Looks better! Thanks for the tip. Any way to set it to default over "gallery?"
Like when the camera is open and I click the pictures that have been taken it opens gallery

I don't see a way to change the association between the camera app and the gallery app, both from HTC. You can associate QuickPic with photos. Using a file explorer app (I use Astro), go to a folder containing photos. Long press on one file name. You will be prompted to select from Gallery or Quickpic. Check the default checkbox and then select Quickpic. This may, or may not, help some.
As for date changes on the files when you transfer them, try Dropbox or a similar app. I use it for moving files between my PC and phone. The file dates don't change.
I really miss my Resco Photo Manager from my old Windows Mobile phone. It is much better than any Android apps I have used.
Thanks, I have drop box I'll try that!
any way to enlarge the photos IN Gallery? before the ICS update the gallery was easier to see all the pictures.. but now its smaller and hard to make them out before opening it
GOAL: Set my own picture that appears when connect it to PC.
I delete default pictures in
Code:
./system/media/screensaver/authors/
I copy to this folder my own images. Change permissions. But if I connect nook to computer I get black screen. Somebody do that?
(main screensaver work good)
That screensaver system on the Nook is overly complicated and poorly implemented.
In many cases where it screws up it falls back on a fallback image.
The very specific fallback is the Brontë sisters.
The more general fallback is the /system/media/screensavers/authors folder.
If you want to keep your life simple, just delete all the contents of that folder and
put in a copy of your own screensaver in there (named anything).
I delete all content of this folder.
I only have blank /authors/ folder
I copy my own pictures. (same I have in media/screensaver)
Still have only black screen, when connect it to PC.
Sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean the popup that says "USB Mode"?
That only covers the center of the screen, the rest should be whatever was there already.
That image is /res/drawable-mdpi/ic_dialog_usb.png in framework-res.apk
no no, i mean the whole screen background. -the screensaver activated few minutes after i connect nook to PC.
Default it show the writers photo.
After I delete it from ./system/media/screensaver/authors/ it show only black screen.
Oh, screensave while USB mounted on a PC?
What exactly do you have in /system/media/screensavers/authors/
Are you sure that the images are good?
Just put one PNG in that directory and make sure that it's not screwed up.
There is also the screensave directories on /media and on /sdcard/My Files
The .PNG is the problem, i think.
In normal screensaver folder /media/screensaver/ i have .JPEG and work it.
Either should work.
I use only PNGs.
So, I use .PNG,.GIF images, but don't work. - I got black screen.
Images have correct dimension. I don't know where is problem.
I have no idea what is going on here.
All screensavers must have their own named directory.
Delete all that junk and put one PNG in
/system/media/screensaver/authors/whatever.png
This should be the only file in this directory.
Notice /system/media/screensaver vs. /media/screensavers
Go into settings and make sure that you have authors selected as your screensaver.
Sorry nothing work.
Code:
For full understanding
1. Connect NST to PC
2. Wait until it show USB conected
3. Lock screen by back button
4. That picture I mean
I don't understand at all what you mean.
If you take a Nook, plug it into a PC a popup appears, "USB Mode".
While that popup is up, no button, even the "n" button, has any effect.
If you are using Button Saviour or something to go back, that's another matter.
Then you are completely screwing up the internal state of the Nook.
Why would you want to do a "back" operation while the Nook is mounted on a PC?
Press the bottom button, not the "n".
Than you see the different screensaver. (default).
The button only lock screen imidiatly. -after period time it auto lock
Do you mean the power button on the back of the Nook?
Yes
Change the permission of the image and make it "rw-r--r--". I got mine to work after I did that.

For what it's worth (I know, this thread is so old), it was possible to change the default Bronte image screensaver by just putting my preferred image in the ./system/media/screensaver folder as the "default.png" file, after I renamed the original. No need to make a new folder, or delete anything from the authors folder, just swap out the existing default.png in ./system/media/screensaver with the image file of your choice (within the proper size/format ratios). In Settings, my screensaver is set to use ./media/screensaver/dontpanic/dontpanic.jpg. The dontpanic.png file was just converted from the dontpanic.jpg file into dontpanic.png and renamed default.png and dropped into ./system/media/screensaver folder.

I did the same thing (with the same pic, LOL). For good measure, I also swapped out bronte from the Authors folder, and set my screensavers to Authors. That was actually my main reason for keeping my Nook rooted -- I needed my scrensaver!

This is a really old thread but I just found the answer to a question I posted recently in the line quoted directly above! But......where is the "res" directory?? I'm using Root Browser and don't see it at all.
(I can also confirm that changing the permissions of the "default.png" [or a renamed "Bronte_Sisters.png"] as described earlier in this thread works like a charm. Sure looks better than that black screen!)
.apk files are actually zip files.
/res is a directory inside the .apk file.
To change normal (not foo.9.png) images you just need a zipper.
framework-res.apk has all the little icons and stuff.
Screensavers and power down screens are elsewhere.
