Hi
Is there any gallery app with which we can select pictures from a particular time like a month or week and delete the whole pics of the selection , have around 17000 pics in gallery and needs to delete many of particular time period .
I think "Focus go" can do that.

Just use a file manager app to select and delete the pics. Or connect phone to PC, browse the storage, and delete using your computer. You can easily decipher the picture's date from the file name (or the pic's metadata).

New program in the market, Save MMS. Open it and it shows all the attached MMS stuff that you usually cant see or save. Lets you save to your SD card. COOL!
Very cool, i actually have a wish list written and this is another one i can cross out!!!
Can anyone fix this app so the pictures show up in the gallery running android 2.2..seems like it saves the images but don't show up in the gallery like the download attachments default feature works. I like to have the images go to a different folder than "download" for my pictures
Where do I find the folder of my camera pictures? How to hide?
Could someone help me out with the file path I should take from the file explorer?
And how do I hide certain pictures from the Gallery so that private pictures won't be seen by family members that just get a little too curious? Hopefully without using an App
Thanks.

You should find the pics from the Camera under the DCIM folder.
Full path would be
/sdcard/DCIM/Camera
I am not aware of how you can hide the pics from being shown in the gallery without using an App. From what I understand, no matter where you put your Pics on the phone, Gallery app picks them up.
/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera
I haven't tried it, but apparently renaming folders with a period "." At the beginning denotes it as hidden. This would keep gallery type apps from finding and displaying any pics within. I think single files are specified hidden the same way. You probably would want to ensure your file manager is set to show hidden files/folders first, and you might want to create a new folder for your hidden stuff, as I'd guess your camera app will create a new folder from scratch if you rename the one it's using.
There are apps, but from what I've read, they just do the file/folder renaming with a period at the beginning. Just google "Android hide pictures".
Yes, renaming folders to begin with a period makes them hidden, but I tried that and they still show up in my "Gallery" app. Has anyone actually successfully used this procedure?
Try with put .nomedia in front of the folder wanna hide and it wont show up.

Hi -
I had updated my XZ1 to 4.4.2. In the Album, there is an option Faces (which detects the faces) and asks to add names. So when I try to add name I get the message "Database Changed or Memory unavailable". The other problem I am facing is that my Camera storage was earlier on SD card. I still can see the photos on SD card thru the File Commander. The Album is not showing any of those photos but it shows the album art from my media folder. I am thinking both are connected in the sense that it has the cache of faces somewhere (I cleared data and cache multiple times) but it is not recognising the actual photo database for some reason so it is not able to write the name information (When I select the name option) to the actual photos.
Any suggestions..
I got it myself. Copy the photos some where else, then delete the DCIM folder. Now take one photo and you will see the DCIM folder again. Copy your old stuff back into that folder. You now have everything back.

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.
Hey all.
Does anybody knows how to change the Screenshots folder to InternalStorage/pictures/screenshots (like all the other android devices) instead of InternalStorage/DCIM/Screenshots?
In the galaxy s10 it saves automatically in the DCIM folders and Google Photos detects it like has been taken with the Camera so it automatically backups all the screenshots like normal photos. This is very frustrating.
Does anybody knows a solution for this?
I am currently using an app named "PinSync" that automatically moves the screenshots for the storage i want but it has a Cons which is that it invalid the Smart screenshot menu, it doesn allow me to edit or share directly. It's only a mending when i want a true solution.
Thanks
Try putting a .nomedia file in the folder. Only drawback is that your gallery won't show them either.
I hate this. I used Pinsync and it was cool but I need Smart Scroll too much
so I just routinely purge Google Photos backup
sigh
I may try the .nomedia file for now since I usually just share screenshots immediately and purge later

I was using PinSync also, but now I dont even take screenshots anymore. I use the Smart Select edge panel and select whatever part of the screen to share (or the whole screen), and once I share it to an app and send it, I back out and the image is not saved.
Still, taking a screenshot and immediately pressing Share takes a lot less effort. I wish Samsung would just move their screenshots folder as it being in DCIM violates DCIM standards.

You gave me an idea.
Can I use BXactions or something to trigger smart select? Then I don't need a screen shot. Might negate the time factor and eliminates the Google photos back up issue.
I literally just searched this forum to find out if there was an acceptable solution for this, but I realize that there is not. I will have to do some deep research on how to change the path where the screenshots are saved directly in the system.
It's stunning how a company like Samsung can manage the complexity of producing an amazing smartphone but yet is not competent enough properly configure a storage path for screen shots.
