When I take a picture, the picture goes to DCIM folder of my phone. Does each gallery app copy the picture from DCIM to its own storage? If I installed two gallery apps on my phone, will I be using twice the storage for my picture? or the Apps will just share the pictures in DCIM.
Your doubt every gallery app use the one storage dcim which it shows it no affects how many gallery app u have if u have thousands of gallery apps the all will show one folder called DCIM

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.
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

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.
Hello, I recently had a problem with "Media Storage", and I was forced to delete the data from it, and now, when I go to my gallery, there are no more pictures, but I can see photos with a file explorer in my phone. When I take a new picture, it appears in the gallery.
Does anyone know what I could do to have ALL my pictures in the gallery ?
Thanks.

Some photos does not appear in Gallery app, but in My Files app, when I open the camera folder all photos are there.
Any Ideas?
It will be in dcim directory either on phone or memory card, depending on your settings you choose. I did pick up that depending on what type of photos/vidoes/ar etc is taken, will depend where it stores the pics etc...not everything is stored in dcim anymore
Check to see if they are in your secure folders app.
