hello, i have little problem with copy my photos from old phone to p20pro. When copying files, the modification date changes and i cannot use any program to fix it, i mean QuickPic with "fix data" or Total Commander because i dont have access (i suppose root access). Its any other idea how to transfer file name -> modification date ?

so its something like bug? i have almost 2000 photos from my s7edge and already everything is mixed ;(
There is a little work around with total commander, if you have some kind of network attached storage. At least this is how I imported some 18.000 pictures from iFoto to my P20 Pro.
First, export the pictures to a folder on the network storage. Make sure you don't touch the file dates (therefore I used the export function, no idea if copying will change the date...).
Then, install the LAN plugin for Total Commander
Connect to the NAS with the LAN plugin
MOVE all the files to P20 Pro
It worked for me for all photos, they were correctly sorted in the gallery with their dates untouched. It DIDN'T work for me with screenshots or files I copied from the interwebz.
Maybe it helps, good luck!

Since it didn't work with work screenshots and downloads, that sounds like it actually modified the creation date and therefor didn't work.
The reason why you can view your photos taken with camea in the right order is because of the Exif Info in the Photo File.
best way to fix all my photo is File Timestamp but required root...

Hi guys - I have a strange problem where files I have downloaded from PIE seems to be on the device (or SD card) but I cannot find them with File Explorer / Resco File explorer.
I have used Kaisertweak to set my download location as storage card\My documents\images (for images obviously - videos for video files etc).
When I download an image the picture is opened by straight after, so I know it is there - however in the property box it is listed as being in My Documents\\storage card\My documents\images. However I cannot find this directory, even by using the find file dialogue!
Has anybody else experienced this / found a solution?
I am especially concerned about there being a hidden directory in the device taking up valuable storage space - I believe I downloaded a 20MB video file at one point!
Cheers!
I think I ran into the same thing, and it was just a user misunderstanding of poor terminology. When the popup comes up saying "Would you like to save ... file to the Device" there are options for "Yes" and "Save As". If you choose yes, it doesn't seem to actually save it to the device (as you would expect, since it just asked if you want to save it) but I think that is intended to only temporarily save things like .cab files that are supposed to run and install something, kind of like the RUN option when opening a file on a regular PC. If you want to save it, I think the only way is to hit the "Save As" option and you can then choose the location.
EDIT: I didn't read your whole post before answering...as far as the Kaisertweak options for photos, video, etc., the same thing applies. Basically, the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference, as you still have to use the "Save As" option to get it to actually save.
Thanks snooginsguy - hopefully that means I don't have any large hidden video files clogging up my device memory!
I am surprised nobody has mentioned that the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference on the (long!) Kaisertweaks thread though - I would have assumed the default location is where files get saved if you don't specify a location (as they would on XP).
I was going to use my Tilt to download Vista SP1 at work the other night since the connection is much faster than mine at home.
I first tried Netfront 3.5 which gave a file could not be read error after about 1 minute.
Next I tried IE. I brought up the page and clicked download. It popped up and asked if I wanted to open the file after it finished. I clicked no to that then selected save as. I direct the file to be stored on my storage card and not the main system memory.
After about 5 minutes I get a beep and it says that I'm low on memory. Now I free'd up 1.2GB and the file is only 726MB. Are downloads saved to temp on the main memory before they finish then transfer to the micro SD?
If so how can I fix this. I have a rather small download cap at home and my jobs internet is ultra fast in comparison to mine. I really want to be able to download files like this if possible. This is one of the reasons I got the phone and I'm now rather disappointed that I can't download larger files.
Any programs out there that manage a download direct to the storage card or some other setting I can change to make this work?
Do search for "Advanced Config", and in that tool there is a way to change the temperary internet file location. I would imagine that the file is first caching itself into that folder (like normal windows) and then trying to copy it over to the flash card.
Man all I get is Edge, I hate you guys with uber fast phones.

Opera 9.5 (beta) can offer this service. You can configure the temporary download folder and the final download folder to be in the SD card. All these settings can be found in about:config, while opera beta can be found on this forum.

Okay I ended up downloading the advanced config. I see an option in there under IE settings that allows me to change the default temporary folder. What do I want to change this folder to though?
@ TrYde I really don't want to install Opera 9.5 (Beta) since it can't be uninstall ed but thanks for the info.
Edit In: Okay I think I got it in the right place. I created a temp folder on the storage card and wrote the directory as \storage card\Tempfiles. I then browsed my files on the storage card. It looks like in the tem folder I created advanced config wrote my cookies,history and temporary internet files into. I'll try this tonight at work and report back. A big +1 to you for letting me know about this program! I can't believe they would put such a limitation into the phone to begin with O wait yes I can.....

'I just want to say BIG thanx to everybody in this forum!! Without you I would be completely lost!'
I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

Thanks,
Ross.

Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..
Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.
In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784
Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.
Hello, I have got a question. When I receive photos via BT I can, without any problems find them in file explorer. But how can I move them in such a way, to be able to see them in photo gallery in Touchflow?
Regards, fck.
move to Internal Storage/My Documents/My Pictures
Obvious really isn't it?!?!
Obvious as hell. The point is, in my case it's not working.
Regards, fck.
May I ask which ROM do you use? as this can be ROM dependent
May I suggest a couple of programs that may help
1) HTC4_Inbox A program that saves BT transferred files to storage card Start -> Settings -> Connections -> OBEX Inbox to choose where u want to recieve files.
2) Advance Config 3.3 a useful tool that allows you to specify the mapping of folders like;
My Documents
My Videos
Etc
I am using the Aztor x2 Ultimate. I am familiar to Advanced config application, I am using it for battery saving features. The problem is, why no photos are beeing displayed in the photo album although they are in correct location.
Hi,
All i'm doing is copying images to my \\internal storage\my documents\my pictures and they always appear right away in Tf3d.
What is the path you have for your images?
Hello all,
It was suggested to me to post this question here.
I am looking for a way to basically poing any and all possible to the storage card. I think I remember a couple years back finding one for my Hermes here at XDA-Developers.com but now I can't seem to locate it??
I would like it if someone knows how to or an app to do this if they could let me know. I think I remember the other one being a .cab that directed everything to the card.
Does this make sense to anyone?
PS: I know on the camera app you can select the device or the card.
Make it little clear
do you want to receive files(say songs etc) through bluetooth and get them stored in memory card and want to place inbox in memory card ?
chand
the moon
Well what I was thinking was I would like any and all files to be stored on the card.
For instance, when active-sync creates a short cut on the desktop (pc) for files to be sync'd there is a list of folders... If I click "Explore" in AS it opens to files on my device. Now if I follow it correctly, all the files in the (pc) desktop shortcut leads to the folders in the "My Docs" on the device.
The last sentenance is what I would like to change, I would like for any and all files besides apps or system files to be stored on the card.
Meaning, no "My docs" on the device memory, just the card.
Is there a way in the registry or something else to change the path for said folders to be redirected to the memory card?
I don't think there is an app that will do this
SKTools has a "move file" option that says it will move the file and update information in the registry, but its not clear if this applies to folders
Now, you could try using a registry editor with find-replace to find all instances of "/My Documents" and change it to something like "/Storage Card/My Documents", then soft reset and see if that works -- I can't seem to find a registry editor that does find and replace like this -- anyone?
Advanced Config Tool (attached) will allow you to specify default locations for directories.
