Hi,
I liked how the gallery app syncs with picasa straight away, but it doesn't give me access to my 'favorites'. My wife uploads our baby pictures to her web albums and she is a 'favorite' so i can easily view pics via pc. it would be great to somehow access her web album by phone. seems like it shouldn't be difficult to do, but i haven't figured it out.
does anyone know whether it can be done? if so, how? if not, can someone recommend a good alternative?
thanks!
Not sure if this will help as I manage my photos on picasaweb a very specific way. Once I've uploaded pics to Dropbox, I go to picasaweb on my laptop, go to my Dropbox album....click on edit....then Organize And Reorder....
From here I select or CTRL select multiple images, and MOVE them to another folder or an existing folder...that folder then appears in the Gallery as a seperate picasa folder. This method can get a bit unwieldly if you have TONS of folders on picasaweb, because they ALL will display in Gallery. But if your careful to organize well this seems as good a way as any..Only takes a minute or so to do unless your moving tons of pictures around....Hope the idea helps..
thanks. that might be worth a try.
i was really hoping for something a bit more automated since my wife usually takes care of the photos. seems duplicative to have two sets of the same web album, but if that's the only way...
thanks again!

Well, I have looked at all the 10, 20 101 and THE best app webpages from searches on google... I have looked at all the posts here that include words like photo, gallery, picture, viewer, album.....
Lots of hours spread over a handful of days just looking for one app. here is what I am looking for:
I am looking for a simple app, that kinda works like Gallery, maybe even with the interface of 'Photos' from iPhone. It should be fairly easy to use, few controls on the screen, and allows me to specify which folders to look in for photos, much like "PowerAMP" allows you to specify folders to look into for music. The reason why the last is important; I have a few games that will from time to time download updates and part of those updates are assets like texture files, music files, sound files for effects, and short video clips (Gameloft games are the ones to blame for this). I hate how I open Gallery and it shows me ALL files with a compatible file extension.
Can anyone think of an app like this??? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Best one I've found so far: JustPictures!
It's so good that I am using it in place of the buggy gallery app. I think it does all the things that you are looking for as well as another nice function: it will synch with any public Picasa, Flickr, etc gallery. It's like having thousands of pics locally on my phone, except they are all stored in the cloud.
Well, that was it! Perfect! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the recommendation. This app is just what I've been looking for.
Foreword:
I want to import my pictures from an i9100 into windows. Easy enough, right?
Wrong. It's been a nightmare since ... well my first HTC G1.
What I want:
1. I want the ability to preview thumbnails of the phone's videos and thumbnails before importing.
2. I want the ability to select time intervals between photos to group them nicely.
3. I want the ability to append a filename to said groups so that they're imported in neatly named folders.
4. I want autorotate on import
5. I want to import only from a specific folder (crazy, right?), namely the DCIM folders. I don't care about the gazillion thumbnails scattered on my phone.
Live photo gallery comes close to these requirements but fails on points 1. (no thumbnails for videos on stock roms, but works with cyanogenmod) and 5. (gazillion pictures).
Adobe Lightroom isn't any better and fails on almost all criteria.
Picasa also falls short.
How do you do it? Am I missing something? Any clever app that knows how to exclude .nomedia folders?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers & happy new year.

Hi me from the past. Just a quick reply to tell you that nothing has changed in the future and no one seems to care about importing photos properly. I guess people are just happy doing copy/paste of folders...or have a lot of cloud space to upload full size photos...or just don't look at their million photos. Later me.
Hi all,
Please can someone help with the below, I don't know if it's possible or not.
My idea is as follows:
I go into my gallery, click the sharing icon at the top, select a specified network drive and it copies the picture(s) to it. A simplified means of communication between my phone and home PCs.
My current way of doing this is using File Expert, I browse SMB shares on the network and select the folder on my laptop on one tab, I then go to the tab for my phone, go to the DCIM folder and select files, copy them then paste into the network drive.
My hope is to speed up this process, I take a photo, go to the gallery, share, select the icon for the share on my laptop and pictures are copied.
I know there's tons of variations such as Samba Share or connecting via USB, Kies etc on doing this but wondered if there is an app that can be configured in the way mentioned above at all that anyone knows of? Or if a sharing shortcut can in any way be created to do this?
From the gallery itself im not sure. Is it just the odd photo or all of them? If it's every photo, it can be even quicker with foldersync. Just set it to.sync on a schedule or on folder change (new photo) to your nas / computer.
Actually I use this to sync my entire sdcard overnight whilst I sleep. I may ditch it though and use tasker with scripts directly instead....
Apologies, I know this isn't what you asked for and if you don't want every photo on your pc - it's not a solution... however it would be better solution for all photos

Many thanks rootSU, I actually just downloaded something similar as I thought it would be a good idea to backup my pictures and videos on my PC anyway. I think that would work well as a solution
Seems like such an easy thing to do but I'm having trouble figuring it out, I'm trying to organize my pictures a little bit better and I heard everyone raving about quickpic. My question to everyone is theres gotta be a way to create not just an album but be able to create a folder so I can stick albums together and organize them a little bit better rather than having 40 different albums. Learning out to do albums was really convenient and very nice but now that I have so many albums I need to organize them a little bit more so there a way I can stick them into groups? Thanks everyone for any and all feedback
Does anyone know of an app that would behave like Pocket, but instead of saving the whole page it would allow you just to save bits of text from pages?
Its for learning purposes mostly. I spend a lot of times on FB groups or similiar places, and in like 90% of cases I need to save just one post in a thread, or just a short bit of text. Saving the whole page is counter productive cause either I forget why exactly I saved it, or I have to spend a lot of times looking for the exact info I wanted.
Pocket works great for what it's intended, and I would need something similar. Right now copy and paste seems to be the best solution, but when I send it to OneNote it adds it to new page, and what's worse it won't let me choose which workbook.
So, I need to be able to save part of text (saving images too would be a plus) and be able to quickly find it (via tags or something else). And of course, the ability to export it all. Can anyone recommend something?
I use Google Keep in exactly the manner you describe.
Take a screenshot, crop the image to only the important stuff. Move the images to a special folder perhaps, using any file manager. That's how I do it
