Having a hard time finding a Document Scanner that works in a way I can understand!
- The built-in one seems to shoot on Automatic and I can't find a way to set it to manual
- Tried CamScanner, TinyScanner and SimpleScanner but these seem to save the PDFs in weird location, and there's no place in the settings to set the Save location.
I want to be able to set the Save location to something SANE, like
SD Card / MyPDFs
What do you guys recommend?

Has anyone developed a hack to make the camera display more than 2 options for where to save files? Its really anooying for me because I often map a network drive in the file explorer,and then the camera tries to save to it if I have it set to storage card (which changes to network, and cant be changed back to card unless i disable the network drive).
I bought a security camera system for my bar. The software allows for me to view it remotely through IE, and also allows me to save the video to computer. The problem is when I tell it to record a feed and select where to save it to, it bascially saves it hidden or something?? Because it shows up nowhere, even if I save them to an empty folder if i do properties on the folder show no files or space taken.
The only way I have been able to access them is if i go back to the brower and attempt to save another video I can hit browse to select folder and it the files will actually appear in there and I can open them in quick time through that folder. But if I try to copy or move them out of there somewhere else it says file moved or no longer at orginal location or something like that.
I've read the manual and it doesnt mention anything about that, and I see no settings or anything to change. I have no idea how to get access to these files! Any ideas?
What is the make and model of the camera? What is the location it's saving them to?
Somehow I messed up setting up my wife's new Moto X. In the past I had some tasker tasks to transfer all the photos off our phones and onto our NAS every night. In setting up the task on her new phone I deleted a slew of pictures. I know the original photos are gone and I'll face the music on that one. However, if I go to camera and swipe to the left I can scroll through all the photos. I can't email or share any because the file is gone, but if I can see the photos there must be a low res image someplace on the phone still. Anyone know how to access these and possibly get me out of the doghouse? They're not in the DCIM folder at all. I poked around in the Android/Data folder a bit, but did not find them.
On the same note, is there a way to clean these out over time? Seems to me if I have a thumbnail of every photo ever taken it would eventually fill up the storage.
Thanks
Get an app like astro file manager, or root Explorer and go to storage then DCIM and your thumbnail pics should be there.

Those are probably all cached. As for recovering them, I'm sure you can find them in the cache -- I don't know where they'd be saved (I believe there is a /cache partition but then there's also the possibility that the gallery caches those previews somewhere in /data/). It may be easier to to screen shot the ones you want.
EDIT: see above post - that's probably what you want
As for the cache growing, I'd imaging that the gallery app has some sort of maintenance. But there is always the option of using apps (I have SD Maid, personally) and/or periodically clearing the cache partition via a custom recovery
Thanks all. This was good info also. I ended up finding the files on my NAS which leads me to a whole other question which I will post seperately from this as it only related by symptoms.
Since getting my S10+ I've been having an odd problem with Google Photos.
On my S9+ if I edited a photo and hit save it would just save it. If I wanted to save a copy I'd hit the 3 dot menu button and hit the Save a Copy option.
On my S10+ by default there is only save a copy, and no option to just do a straightforward save. And once I have saved it I get a pop up saying my photo has been saved in the PhotosEditor folder with the options to view it later or go to that folder now.
This happens every single time.
Why is this different and how can I get it back to how it behaved on my S9?
Thanks
I'm having the same issue and can't figure out a fix.
yep I agree that the editing/saving on this new device is extremetly clunky. You end up with multiple folders on the internal and sd card which makes managing photos a pain. Not sure why but hope they fix it up soon.
For me, I set SD card as default camera save location but when doing burst photos it forces save to internal storage, again, you end up with photos all over the place.. hmm
Hi there, is there any way to change camera photos save location. Default is external storage/DCIM/camera. I use my NAS cloud to back up photos but it needs photos exacly in DCIM folder to backing up.

Hey.
Not a direct solution as such, but more a possible workaround.
Could try looking into such apps as these which will automatically move the files to the chosen folder:
Auto Move for Android Puts Your Files Exactly Where You Want Them
While I consider myself to be a pretty organized guy, there are often times where I just can't find a file I put on my phone. Most of the time, when I download a file it goes automatically into my Download folder, but when I use a third-party to download other files, like torrents, they could...
