I use ES as well (love it!)
When I click "Favorites" in the top left-hand corner, them my choices are:
Home | / | Downloads | Pictures
/mnt/extSdCard/
(can't capture a screenshot of that page to show)
If you haven't, you might try X-plore too - also free, and has some really nice features. BTW I can see \mnt\extSdCard fine too.

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.
Astro and ES do not see microSD or USB plugged into dock
Asus file manager is great, but all my files are long and truncated... I can't customize (get rid of size, date columns) ...sometimes literally pisses me off why they have so much white space in there, yet my filenames are truncated.

Actually, Astro sees your Removable storage just fine. You just have to set up the paths in Preferences.
Im in the same boat. Preferences only gives me the internal memory as a path so the shortcut takes me to the same place.

I see what you mean. I had Astro set for /Removable/MicroSD as the external SD card directory,but when I went to check it after your post it suddenly gives me the internal SD path as the external SD. I am guessing that something happened after the latest update to confuse Astro? I can still navigate to /Removable/MicroSD, but I can no longer set it as the default in Preferences as the external SD card.
I am using root explorer. It sees the micro sd card just fine, it gives it the name /removable i think. I have not tried a usb stick though. I use it since it allows me to edit /system files once rooted.
If rooted definitely root explorer.
They all show up under /removable/micro SD,SD,etc.
I have used & owned them all & hands down I think root explorer is #1

I looked at Root Explorer on the Market, but the few specifications there did not mention if it could do Samba. Do you know if it can? One of the reasons I have been using Astro is because it can Samba into my desktop PC's file system.
Ghost commander for file's transfers and File Manager HD for rest. That is my combination.
+1 File Manager HD.

I def prefer root explorer for everything. However ES is great because I can access my book live on my home network. As far as I know root exp does not support this.
yeah I use ES for my sensation and it is great, cant be beat.
But not the same story with ATP.
I recently downloaded FX File Explorer and it seems pretty good. It also allows FTP and Samba connections. Here is a link to the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.fx&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ..
So my issue is I seem to be missing where to change the destination for pictures taken to the External SD Card.
I swear my SkyRocket prompted me after I took the first picture and asked if I want to use the SD Card to store photos and videos.
Any thoughts other than I am stupid and it right under my nose.

Bingo, I did realize you could even scroll down the menu... Duh....
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.
I have both the PDF to Go app (part of Documents to Go) and Adobe Acrobat. I initially selected the "always open with" option for .pdf files to use PDF to Go. Now I want to switch to Acrobat. I tried Settings>App>Documents to Go>Clear defaults and that did not work. There is also a "Clear data" option but I'm unsure what that does (sounds a bit riskier). Also, a bit odd, but there is no specific app listing for PDF to Go. Either way when opening a .pdf file through ES File Explorer the default remains PDF to Go. However, when using another file browser, say Astro File Explorer, I can get the default app to be Acrobat Reader. It appears that the app default is file browser app based not global system based. Any help/workaround/solution would be appreciated. Cheers.

Not sure if it is what you meant but clearing the file settings directly in ES FE was the answer. Settings>File Settings>Clear defaults worked. This allowed me to reset choice of pdf reader and the pdf default behavior.
Every time I set a default for anything when I go to do that operation again later it asks me every time and I hit always.. Is there a fix for this?

I've seen this with other apps like navigation... no matter how many times I set the app default, it still prompts. I think the best workaround is to just disable the app from the phone if you really only need to use the one app.
