Is is possible ? I heard there was Camera Connection Kit that helped camera transfer directly photos to iPad.
So, can we do this with Nook Tablet?
You could use something like Google plus or Dropin.

I transfer photos easily. I use a micro sd card in my camera ( with an sd adapter) and just pop the micro sd card into my nt. I use es file explorer to copy and paste onto my nt. I have created a folder in /data just for photos and videos from my camera. You have to change permissions on the /data folder to create the sub folder and then just change them back. I also made a shortcut on my desktop to the folder i made for easy access. The only hitch with this is that the photos don't show up in the gallery app, but when you select the photo in file explorer it will give you app options to open and view.
Doh, I was thinking you were talking about pictures on your phone.

Thank you . Can we use the Nook like a usb host ?

Nope, I mean 2 separate devices and connect them without internet or PC
I don't believe the nt has usb hosting enabled.
The NC allowed for Eye-FI to be used, which is a wifi enabled sd card that beams pics to your pc, phone, or whatever, but I don't think the app is able to be used on the NT...not in my brief attempt anyway.
There is a very good chance this will work with roms in the near future
EyeFi X2 SDcard in my camera works very well with the Nook Tablet and the EyeFi App on the market. The perfect mobile combination to instantly view images on a larger display such as the NT.

Benn lurking here for a few days trying to soak in all the info I can until I get my G-Tab from the last woot-off in. Let me start out by saying that the community that has grown around this tablet is great. Lots of good info and work being done to push the G-tab to its potential. Thanks to the Devs and everyone else who contributes.
So my question is this ...... After doing some research I plan to install Vegan 5.1 on my G-Tab when it arrives. I will be sharing the tab with my wife who is a photographer. She said the main feature she wants is to be able to use the tablet to proof her photographs with her clients after a photo shoot. Meaning she will be taking the SD card out of the camera and using a USB memory card reader to access the SD card on the G-Tab. Will this be possible to do on the G-Tab? Is there an app or software that would be better for viewing pictures off of an SD card?
From what I've read so far there seems to be a problem with the tablet not recognizing sdcard2 right? or is there a workaround or fix for this?
Please let me know any suggestions you guys have on how she will have to go about viewing the pictures off of an SD card. I am open to installing different ROMS than Vegan if I have too.
Thanks in advance.
I think there may be some more experienced replies than mine, my experience with the g-tab is still new, however an approach that should work would be to use a mini-sd card in a sleeve, in her camera, then take out the mini-sd and pop that into the g-tab slot. Then you can use the file brower/manager app on the g-tab and browse the mini sd; should be able to just tab an image and show.
Thanks for the reply Riccarr. That sounds like an option but dont want to have to buy all new micro cards unless that is the only option. But I will keep that in mind.
Does anyone else know if its a problem reading jpegs off an sd card through the usb port using a usb card reader? Please share your experiences on viewing pics from a card and if there are any problems I should be ready for.Thanks
I've heard that you can run an SD Card reader off the USB port, in VEGAn 5.11 at least. I've not tried it myself, although I can let you know later tonight as I'm about to head out and buy one.
GoPro HD camera takes an SD card, and I want to be able to view my trackday runs on the tablet while at the track. In glorious HD.
First off I would suggest installing VEGAn-TAB 7.0 instead of earlier Beta version. That's mainly because it is working so well for me. I've had no problems loading .jpg files (of photographs) as well as video files on both the external 16gb micro SD Card and 8gb USB Flash Drive. I've also been able to copy files back and forth between the internal and external SD drives. The USB Flash Drive can be used to copy files to the internal SD drive or to simply use as a second drive to play videos or display photograhs (.jpg files). To copy and paste a file from a drive to go to another drive, simply press and hold the file to be copied and a menu is displayed. Select copy. Then go to the drive and folder you want to paste the file. From the copy/paste notification (press the icon displayed at bottom center) select the file or folder to be pasted. The paste process can be displayed via the notifications window (from the icons on the lower left of the window, press the icon furthest to the right). Curiously enough, the safest place to store and view either videos or .jpg files seems to be the USB Flash Drive. The internal and external SD cards work fine as well, but there does seem to be a problem at times with these files simply disappearing. Good luck.

VEGAn 7.0 RC does work well, and it's arguably the prettiest ROM out there. I've only not gone to it due to the lack of hardware acceleration for video decoding, I'm worried it would result in poor HD playback.
Ok, now on to the card reader. I bought a cheap-o USB reader from Office Depot for $12.99. I'm currently streaming "I am Murloc" from a 2GB Kingston SD card.
Note: The card had to be reformatted in FAT32 for it to work. NTFS will supposedly work for VEGAn as well, but I've not tested if my camera can read either. FAT32 should be safe.
Edit: Spoke too soon. It's working fine as long as I don't put it in the camera. Once it's been in the camera, I can't access it anymore. Not sure why...
Edit 2: Er... ok, now it's working again. Apparently there needs to be something in the root folder for it to pick it up, another folder doesn't work? Will have to test more.
So I have a motorola photon and when I connect to my PC the full internals are viewable for me.
With my new prime all I see are transfer folders and limited number of internal folders. I cannot see the storage partition of the prime like I can on my Photon. Is there something wrong with my tablet? Do I need a special app? What am I missing here?
The Prime does not mount the SD card as a drive the way you are used to on your Photon. The Prime uses MTP, same as the new digital cameras. This allows you access to your media folders, but not system folders. A quick work-around is to copy the files you want to one of the media folders, then use a file browsing app like Root Explorer to move it from the media folder to your desired location on the internal memory.

Yea I found the thread on ES File Explorer once I figured out the proper terms to narrow down my search to my problem and used that to transfer over my kindle books and the like.
Why can't I hold all these folders?
Sent from my tablet thing with XDA Premium.
I've resorted to using FTP (DroidFTP Pro) in order to get the files where I want them.. MTP is so annoying.
Is it possible to view the photos as slide show, I don't seem to find such function in the tablet Gallery or File Manager and Mobo Player.

The tablet's stock Gallery has a slideshow function. Open Gallery, select a set of photos, then locate in the right-hand section of the upper menu and touch the icon that looks like a square with a right-pointing triangle; the slideshow will begin. You can adjust the slideshow's settings by touching the right-most icon in the upper menu. Good luck.

Thanks, got that but I want a slide show of pictures stored in a sd card and I don't want to transfer the file to the tablet so I am now viewing therm with file manager or Astro and they don't seem to have slide show capability. Any apps can do it?

I don't understand why Gallery is not detecting and listing the media files stored on your external SD card. I have photos and videos stored on an external SD card and Gallery detects and lists them without problem. Check for a file named ".nomedia" in the folders where you have the photos stored. If ".nomedia" exists, delete it.

The only other app I use to view photos is the ES Image Browser that is included with ES File Explorer. ES Image Browser is accessed by selecting a photo from within ES File Explorer. ES Image Browers has a slideshow function.

If they're running unrooted Honeycomb the stock apps need files transferred from the SD card and can;t access them directly. I'm told ICS fixes this. Patiently awaiting it here in the UK

I can access the pictures from File Manager without transfering them but no slide show
Install QuickPic from the Play Store and start using it instead of Gallery. It can access the external SD perfectly, HC or ICS. And it's slideshow function works on either and is very configurable.
Worked for me, at least.

Got it and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
Ok so tonight, I decided to clean up my SD card. I had noticed that some how I had 1500 pics on my internal SD card, SO I moved them over to my external one and cleaned everything up a bit, combining all the folders. Now when I go into my phone and SD card, all the pics are TINY in size. LIke if the pic before was the size of the screen, now its 1x1 inch. I use wallpaper wizzadrii to set my wallpapers and its setting them all for TINY as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
you probably copied the thumbnails
I did now what?

If you deleted the actual pictures and are just now stuck with the thumbnails try an app called DiskDigger. It'll find your deleted photos if it was just recently done. It won't go as far back as a PC would. But give it a shot. Oh yea, must be rooted for it I believe.

I wouldn't use an android app, I'd connect the phone to a PC, mount it, then use Recuva to scan it.

going to try that now.
Also, I just realized that all the pics were on my internal storage. I know I never set it up that way. I have always put them on my SD card. For future reference, how do i get everything to be automatically saved to the external SD card?
You mentioned that you cleaned up the images by copying them from your internal SD to your external one - if what you're trying doesn't work, do you remember which folder the files came from? You can just move them back but I have a sinking feeling that you're going to go to your Gallery and when you review your images, you'll see a bunch of white boxes with and 'x' inside which indicates that you're missing the image that was where it was supposed to be when the Gallery accessed your photos. I did something similar a while ago, trying to consolidate photos into a folder on my SD and when I moved the files, I had the white boxes I mentioned. The fastest way to fix the issue is to move ALL images off your SD, go to Gallery, erase ALL, then mount the SD card onto the PC and move images back onto the SD, go to Gallery, and let the thumbnails regenerate.
It's a pain but if you do this once, you'll not do it by accident again. Android does something similar to Apple's iTunes. You can have files in several folders and the program will 'find them' for you but if you move them, you can cause yourself quite a headache.
Good luck!

The app I posted works fine, I've used it before. It looks for only photos whole recuva will find any file ever...
For setting it to external SD that's an option in the camera
Another program you can try is testdisk. It's free and it has recovered everything I've ever needed and then some. I've accessed files on a drive that both windows and OS X told me was not formatted. Got all 450gb off of it and could also retrieve tons of deleted files. It's a computer app, not a phone app.
Hi,
Im using my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 in order to review and edit my photography.
I connect an external SD card reader to the tablet using the type-c port.
My Files, as long as many other file explorer apps can list the folders and files on the SD card, however I can't see the USB drive on any gallery app (tried many of them; including Samsung's Gallery, Google Photos and Gallery, etc.).
Is there any way to view and delete the photos on the USB drive directly with My Files?
If not, is there any app I can use that will simply let me review the photos and delete the ones I don't need without opening each one of them separately in a another gallery app?
Thanks
Is the reader a OTG rated one?
The Gallery app doesn't work with external drives connected via USB. Just internal memory and (if the phone supports it) internal microSD.
Yes, you can copy, delete, move, and edit files using the My Files app. Another good app is Solid Explorer. Keep in mind, the external drive cannot be encrypted (i.e. Bitlocker). Also, most platter type external drives won't work. They usually require more power than the phone can deliver.
Both Solid Explorer and My Files apps can connect to cloud storage, FTP, local network shares. Solid Explorer is the more powerful of the two; it has more choices.
Solid state type drives like SSDs, microSD, SD, flashdrives, etc., should all work with the My Files app.
I like both, but I use My Files more often because it is a little more intuitive to use than Solid Explorer.
