[Q] editing photo/video title // sorting photos on SGS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey people,
is it possible to change the behaviour, how the software is naming photos and videos?
for example: old roms name files in this way: 2011-10-25 20.07.55.jpg
new roms name it like that: 20110929_172337.jpg
it's a bit strange that the photo of the old renaming process (the first file) was taken a month after (oct. 25th) the photo with the new renaming (sept 29th)
i can remember that i flashed on sept. 29 leomar75's revolution rom 2.7.1 xxki3, on oct. 21st the first checkrom edition xxki4.
i checked it with my dropbox account, as i got my sgs2 all files were named like the first above, just in the last time it changed. i searched the gallery and camera app, but didn't find any settings. my aim is to watch my pictures in that row i have taken them. but i copied it several times from the phone to my PC and vice-versa, so the original date was lost. now i have to sort it by the file names and all files should have the same name pattern.
concluding: how are files named on your device?
is it possible to influence sammy's naming procedure?
...or do i have to rename about 250 files manually?

[Q] Changing the default save location on sd for camera

Just recently noticed that my 100ANDRO folder on my sd card has a few (recent) photos left in it when there were previously around 800+
(Luckily I have been using pcfilesync to backup my media to my linkstation so I can get them back.)
The only thing I can think of is that when upgrading to 2.1 stock or installing the 2.1 lite rom the camera recreates the above folder and ends up overwriting the existing images.
I found one mention of this on the custon aosp rom thread but the poster didn't seem to get a response (probably due to the amount of posts!)
Anyway my question is can you change the save folder from 100ANDRO so that when it recreates the default folder on the sdcard it won't overwrite any files ?
... bit strange this one as I was always under the impression the sd card contents were pretty safe when changing roms etc (from my limited experience with android and previous wm phones)
Thanks
I remember seen it on camera settings, is just like a cybershot camera
check it if not working tell me

[Q] Remove sms to mms conversion on 2.3.4 stock anyone?

i will try later, i tried to edit the .xml file on the fly from the phone with the txt editor and there's a weird bunch of code, do i need to decompile it with the PC right?
any program you recommend?
tnx
gabrio
xml files are just plain text files, but they're in a specific format. If you're unsure what you're doing then post the file here and let someone modify it for you as it's quite easy to break xml by simply not closing a tag, or changing the wrong thing.
seems that i will give a go tonite at APK Manager
on a different note, latest upgrade i did via Kies which went to 2.3.4, removed the number of photos left with the camera.
tested it and when you are closer to the capacity of the SD card like 20%?, it will display how many you have left..it may make sense, samsung said, why you need to see how many you can do when there's loads of space, but when capacity gets small, then we display that number...in video mode, is always shown remaining time instead..
i was wondering, what if i wanna to always display the number of photos i can? it used to display it with 2.3.3
gab
how did you do?

Dumb question, does anyone know where Fotolr saves the images to?

I go toFotolr\PS\FotolrPS qnd in there is the last pic I edited but labeled "1.jpg" . If I go into Fotolr and edit another pic...this last image gets deleted andreplaced by the newest one..so wtf does this thing save to?

[APP] GalleryNameFixer

Hello,
I want to share a little program with you guys
GalleryNameFixer as the name said is a program to 'fix' gallery photo's names (eg in SXS, or Desire S).
the original name of the files in SXS is DSC_XXXX... no comment on that...
My program searches the DCIM folder for files, take theirs last modification time (creation time IF the file wasn't edited!!) and name the file like this: YYYY-MM-DD_HH_MM_SS[_X].EXT.
the [_X] is when 2 or more pictures was taken in the same second (the X starting from 1)
PS: If the 'preview only' chceckbox is checked NO files will be renamed!
PS2: It will delete all the files in folders named ".thumbs*"
Hope you like it

What do you mean by 'unusable' ??
I have some in preview, and the rest in file without an extension, and impossible to open it as an image, nor on the pc.
a corrupted file.

I've tested this app on 2 phones.
Can you tell how many files show the app?
And how many files you have in subfolders of DCIM folder.
Your phone is Xperia S?
The application indicates 173 files, and although two sub folders.
In reality there may well have nearly that many files.
Yes it is a xperia S.
I remade a test, the operation well, but the preview mode is active when the checkbox is checked or not.
In short, I advise those who want to try to make a backup before.

This is not posibble
I tested this app on one more phone - tomorrow I will test on 2 more.
the phone is xperia x8.
Everything go well, no errors, files have a good new name.
I really don't know why you have files without extension...
Here are some pics.
I tested again, the operation has functioned properly, I do not understand why.
Strange

Images capture date

Hi, sorry if this is not the right place.
Recently bought new device, made a copy of my pictures to PC and then copy them back to new device, point is that dates were changed to day of copy.
Image names contain caprure date as this img yearmonthday-numberofpicofday, for example
Img20190202-w0000001. Is the pic number one shot on february 2nd, 2019.
Is there any soft to extract dates and change capture date from image name? And capable of doing that in batch, we are talking about thounsands of images.
Before any answer, I am concern that extracting from exif is a possiblitie, but senseless for me cause exif data is gone from my images.
Tbahx in advance
