The camera's weird DCIM file directories... - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

What I'm seeing is DCIM\
then \001 and \002 and so on with pictures randomly set in each folder. I believe it has to do with the bursting. I.e. folder \004 contains the fourth picture in the photo burst that was saved.
My concern is, this is going to make syncing my camera folder to my picasa folder nearly impossible with so many sub directories. I sync via Photosync by Akira S. on the market and the app doesn't support subfolder syncing.
Work around anyone?

On further testing, it seems that subfolders such as \007 keep being made and each image is being named image001. Ugh....

Apparently, that fixes it. Sucks that I have to sacrifice a feature for another. I suppose if I wanted to use the burst, then I could cut/paste the file into the 100media folder like it should be.

[Q] Organizing my pictures

May be a question that has been asked before but how can I organize my pitcures. I created new folders and move the pictures to those folders but when viewing on my phone they are still all in one big bunch. What am I doing wrong?
Hmmm...this is how I organized my pics. Created a folder named MEDIA. Inside this folder another one named PICTURES. Inside this one created others for the different types of pics I have. Example: Android. Wallpapers. Wedding. Chics. Football...etc etc.

Try "JustPictures" from the market. IMO it's a lot better than the stock gallery.
Quickpic is even better and lets you hide folders you don't want to see.

[Q] Sub-Folders in Gallery

Does anyone know how to create custom sub-folders in the stock gallery?
For instance i need to make a Chicago folder to appear in the stock gallery.
QuickPic works but it doesnt show 3d pics
EDIT- fixed!
You would have to create these sub folders on a pc or with a file.manager as far as I know

Just make a new folder (i use OI) and put any images you want in it and thats it. Just gotta reboot and itll show up
Ctrl folder is a good app. Lets you do it straight from the gallery.

Gallery App

Has anybody gotten the stock Google Gallery App to work? Or have a better alternative?

In my opinion, QuickPic is the best gallery app and it's free in the market.
Google's Gallery 3D works. The stock Moto gallery isn't actually bad if you use ADW or Launcher Pro to create a shortcut directly to the camera roll instead of that terrible landing page that shows when you open it normally.

Yes, I agree with skycamefalling - QuickPic is definitely the best gallery app and I've tried a lot of them.
I couldn't get the Google Gallery to install. Where did you pull the apk from?
I like QuickPic too but it doesn't pull in my Picasa galleries, and that's where all my pics end up.

I wish QuickPic supported accessing my MotoCast files. Til it does that I'm stuck using two applications.

Here's a Gallery 3D .apk that worked for me. Forget where I got it from, probably just searched for it once I realised the stock gallery was nearly unusable.
thanks! Worked great.

Does anyone have a hacked camera apk that allows you to link directly to gallery 3D instead?
Right now, if you try to take a photo with the camera and click on the picture, it says media gallery isn't installed. This is because i froze the moto gallery. I want to try and link the camera to use the gallery 3D for this instead.
Quickpic is my favorite gallery app.
I agree Quickpic is the best!
I prefer gallery 3d

I have another question which i find is not answered or I have overread: In the Folder "All Pictures" can I hide the pictures that I don't want to see? I have some apps and stuff on SD and all those pics are showing in this folder (and these are lots..). And is it possible to add a folder for the cam pics (so the cam pics are actually added when taken instead of going to the "All pictures" folder?
You can add a separate folder inside your picture folder (give it a name like "Private") with Astro (or some other file program) Inside that folder add another empty folder and name it .nomedia
Add the pictures that you don't want to display to the "Private" folder that contains the empty .nomedia folder.
Your gallery app will scan the folder, and any folder that contains a file with the .nomedia tag will be skipped.
The only downside is that to view anything in that folder will require you to either delete the .nomedia file, or you'll have to manually view the files in Astro or some other file explorer.

[Q] How to change native screenshot directory?

I'm using Infected Eternity sense 3.5 nightly build and my native screenshots do not appear in my album. When I press power+home it says it saves to a screenshot folder on my SD card. The files within that folder are all corrupted or say can't load image. So I think changing the directory to Camera Shots would work but I don't know. On previous roms it works perfectly fine. Help!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Your screen shots should save in your
"DCIM" folder.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Allways\
Well yeah thats my problem they save to a "screenshots" folder that it creates by it self when i Power+Home
If you wanna take screen shots another way that is easy and free is DDMS.bat in your tools folder where you installed SDK on your computer Does the job everytime...
I believe I know how. I'll have that exact answer in the morning. Well actually, yes you can, but I don't remember what edit was made. That, I will post in the morning/afternoon.

How do I export HTC Zoe videos to my computer?

Thought this would be simple. Maybe Im missing something.
I take a Zoe capture. 20 frames and a 3 second video. I have no problem saving and sharing frame/stills from the capture. But I have no idea how to export the video as a whole.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think we can. I haven't tried it myself but I do believe I read it somewhere.
Uh after connect the phone to pc via usb , you should find the .mov file in the DCIM folder.

I use dropbox. Using file explorer [I use es] navigate to dcim folder and look for the mp4 files. Shorter ones are Zoe.

This is what i do. All mine are sideways though.
I used airdroid to move them over, but you can just copy and paste them over like you normally would with a USB stick or something. When you upload them back onto your device it will just look like 20 pictures and 1 mp4 file, however when restarting my phone it recognized the files and created the ZOE again.
