Saving camera's pictures on specific path...

[Markino]

Hi guys!
I configured the camera of my Jam to save the pistures and videos on my SD...
I create My Documents folder on the root of my SD and the camera save the files creating new folder under /Storage Card/My Documents/
That's pretty good but I'd like to configure the camera to put my pictures inside /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures/

Is it possible? How can I do it?

[ampda]

Good luck, I've been searching for this answer for some time, please, please if you find out let me know.

Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image

You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in

(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)

as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)

What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".

You can do the same trick for the /Video key

Any way to store in storage, not storage card? I mean the internal ROM.

Thanks Fossalta!
Works great...

There's actually a way to do this (to get rid of the dated folders). The latest T-Mobile WWE ROM 1.12.152 has a latest version 2.70 (Build 20117) Camera for PocketPC app by HTC in its Ext_ROM. This app lets you save pictures and videos to any type of memory on your device (Main, Storage, Storage Card) and DOES NOT create dated folders. It saves pictures directly in \...\My Documents\My Pictures.

Oh, and another thing... It also automatically flips display right (landscape mode, camera button on top) when you activate camera. After exit, it automatically reverts to a portrait mode.

Enjoy!!! :lol:

Hi guys!
I'm trying with the tip of registry entry but it doesn't works for me:
I open the given registry path and I chenge the SaveFolder entry from empty to this string: "Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures".
I close the reg editor and start the camera.... I made a test picture but it doesn't save the file with msg: "Unable to save the captured image 36001:500:0".
I open the reg edit and I see that in the SaveTo DWORD is present the value 0... I change it in 1 but seems to doesn't save the value! If I open back the reg editor the value is still 0.
Any idea?

[fone_fanatic]

no need to do the reg edit, i've been using that camera patch that guy just uploaded for some time now and it works perfectly. just go under options and set the save path to storage card and it automaticly puts in it storage card/my documents/my pictures also it puts teh camera sideways on the screen so its more comfortable to take pics

[Markino]

Thanks! I'll try it! :wink:


I don'd understand very well what is this cab and what is the extended rom... I just open a new topic for extended rom...

[heretic]

Just download the .cab file to your device and run it. It will install automaically. :wink:

[6thElement]

Just installed that T-Mobile patch to my Qtek S100 (1.12) and it works superbly. It had been annoying me for a while that it made the dated folder each time you took a picture.

Now to solve my MMS issues and I'll be totally happy.

[Markino]

I just install the cab and my Jam is not working fine now....
The today screen is a mix of other applications screen!!!!
Seems to don't pain well the today screen!

If I lounch the camera I see the some settings of the old configuration... I can select wich memory but not the specific folder...

I made soft reset but the problem of the today screen persist.... How can I make a rollback and/or unistall the given CAB?

Please! Help me! I don't want to make hard reset!!!!

[Private-Cowboy]

Any idea how to save them to the internal ROM, the "storage"???

[ampda]

Hi all again,

Again I thought i would sure the CAB work I'm doing for my Mini.

The second CAB file will install the new Camera app (thanks to "heretic") into the Storage area and not into the RAM (Save smoe space). This will allow you to save the pictures straight into "My Picture" without that extra folder in either Main memory, SD Card or Storage.

I have also added the short cuts needed to replace the original camera app from within the Magician so they point to the camera app installed in Storage.

I have uploaded 2 versions, 1 with the camera app only and the other with the new Album app that comes with the above CAB file from "heretic".

The only issue which i can't iron out is that with the second CAB file (Camera only) if you click on the "Album" icon from within the camera app its comes up with an error (Its looking for the Album app in the same directory as the camera app in Storage). So if you use the internal Album app standard with the Magician then download the first CAB file.

The 1st CAB file will also install the new Camera & Album app into Storage so the error from above goes. I haven't gone through the registry to associate the image files to open with the new version yet but all the shortcuts will point to the new version.

I personal don't use the Album app so i only installed the 2nd CAB file.

Both of these CAB's have the "Snow" fix that i posted before.

Is it possible to get an answer to a simple question, goddammit. How can I set the saving location to the internal ROM (called storage on my device)??? Regedit it, install a tool - whatever, any way to do that?

[ampda]

Start the Camera
Go to the spanner icon in the corner
Go to "Tools">"Options"
you will see a "Save To"
Select Main Memory (this will save in the device)
Select Storage Card (as it says)

The only way to save to the Storage is to install the apps above, the camera program gives you the storage option

[Private-Cowboy]

Thank you! I thought maybe you can regedit the path just like you can do with AvantGo.

Can the 2nd (cam only) be installed into Ram too? And will it overwrite the old version there from the ExtRom?

[ampda]

If you want to install in RAM install the CAB file from "heretic" above, mine install them into Storage. And yes they will replace the old ones

[Unique]

can we use this pach to Alpine(qtek 2020i) who has the same problem?

[rob_76]

Thanks Fossalta - I can confirm that the regedit works on the Alpine (XDA IIi) too.

I'd also like to know if the CAB works on an Alpine (XDA IIi) to get rid of those long directory names. Has anyone tried it yet?

Thanks

Rob

Guys,

Was researching the registry and found this key

HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\General

There's a DWORD Value there "EnableDayTimePath". Set it to 1 if you want dated folders, and to 0 if you don't want them.

I tested it and it seems to work.

I can't find that DWORD on my Windows Mobile 2003 - Can I just add it?
