Dear all,
I am looking for a gallery app with the option to display all photos on my android without being grouped into folders, so they display all at once.
I have a couple of camera apps which store photos in their own separate folders, and it's becoming a bit of a mess. Of course I could move all photos (and downloaded pictures) into one folder, but I would need to be doing this regularly.
Any ideas?
Cheers
gallery... all photos...
or get quickpic and add all the folders and none of the junk ones.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I meant.
I want the any gallery app which will display ALL of the photos/images on the sd card without having me choose a folder first.
Is there a way to get the gallery to not display all subfolders or another app that can? I have several hundred wedding pictures I moved to my SD card in about 10 subfolders all under one folder called Wedding Pictures. When I open the gallery I can see all the subfolders, I would like to just see the main folder at first. I also tried Quickpic, that isn't displaying properly either.
Hi all
Just got my new S3 today, came across from a HTC and boy this thing's not as intuitive to set up or sync contacts as Sense is. Anyway, that aside, I have a strange problem with the gallery and pictures I've uploaded to the phone.
Firstly, every time I open gallery, it displays all my locally stored photos and also all my Facebook albums. I select "View files on this device" and it drops my facebook photos off, butbwhen I quit the gallery and come back to it later it does thecsame, there doesn't seem to be a way to grt it to remember my default choice of local photos only.
Secondly, I have about a dozen folders with photos, all resized ftom originals I took on my camera to save size, and I've changed their file name using "Thailand Photo 001" "Thailand Photo 002" 003 004 etc. They were all renamed using a batch renamer so their creation date/time stamp is the same. They are in folders named "01 Thailand", "02 Vietnam" "03 Cambodia" etc.
When I use the stock S3 Gallery app, not only are the folders displayed in reverse order from the highest number back to 01, all the photos are displayed in reverse order too, from the highest to the lowest. In Quickpic they all display fine.
My girlfriends non-ICS Galaxy Note displays the albums in the right order, but the photos reversed also.
Apart from using Quickpic, I'm loathe to leave the stock gallery app because if the face recognition and tagging etc, has anybody else seen this problem, maybe on an S2 or somewhere? I've emailed Samsung tech support but I don't have much faith in them - I emailed them previously querying the ICS update for the Note and they emailed back saying they had no information on it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
I may have an idea about your Facebook pics problem, but that would disable syncing your Facebook photos to your Gallery altogether.
Go to Settings - Accounts and sync - Add account
There should be 2 options for Facebook
The first, simply called Facebook, is generated by having the Facebook app installed on your phone and will not sync your Facebook photos at all
The second, called Facebook (for syncing) should be inherent to the phone and will sync your photos. Remove that account and no more Facebook pics in your gallery
Thanks...
I just typed out a complete answer to you, popped to another tab and came back to find the page reloaded, so I'll keep this brief!
Re gallery issue - Samsung say it'll display photos newest first and that's that, the phone won't do it any other way, so my gallery shows my folders and photos in reverse order, ie newest photo at top descending to oldent, and the most recently crested sub-folder at the top - regardless of the file naming order.
I then emailed photos of the "My Files" app showing the correct file order - ie oldest at the top, descending to newest, and folders in the correct descending order, showing that an app can use the name & date correctly and in the 'correct' descending order - and also screenshots of QuickPic showing folders in the correct <001 trip part 1><002 trip part 2><003 trip part 3> order.
Samsung then backtracked in saying ok the phone can do it but the gallery can't, but their way is the correct way.
I pointed out that, ascseen in the screenshots, Gallery actuallt displays folders out of both date and file name order, but they skipped over that. I'll just have to either live with it or just use QuickPic.
Thanks for your advice re the facebook photos - I removed Facebook sync, and google pic sync, and no more Facebook or picasa pics!
I changed the storage location for the pictures taken from the phone's camera to an external SD card. After I did this when I open the gallery application the photos that are stored in the new location and any new taken from the phone don't show up. Is there a way to manually add the new location of the photos so I can seem them from the gallery? TIA

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They should show up. Did you try rebooting?
Very funny. It was almost as if there was some sort of issue with the SD card not being able to see the files. It was as if they were deleted. I unmounted/remounted a couple times and rebooted and they finally showed back up. Thanks for the reply.
edit: now all of my timestamps are incorrect, but much better outcome than not having my pictures at all.
edit 2: quickpic application has a feature to use the metadata from the image instead of file timestamp. back to normal.
Hi all!Google photos uploads the facebook picture folder to the cloud because it is inside the folder DCIM..how can i solve?thx
I was looking into that a while ago, and the only solution someone suggested was using tasker to move them automatically. There is no way to change the default save folder. The most infuriating thing is that messenger saves them where they belong, in the pictures folder... so why can't they do the same with their facebook app?
What is Facebook?
Is that like a kindle reader?
Will it work on my TV?
Please help.. I am at loss.
