Help I need to remove SD Card reg hack for \storage card\my documents\my pictures

[NewSPV]

Hi

I did a registry hack some time ago so that the camera would save all pictures to \storage card\my documents\my pictures, now I have lost the original hack settings and I can not find them either on the web, or find them within the registry.

When you select save to SD Card within the camera settings, it sets a default folder 'my pictures' on the root of the SD Card, this is where 'pictures and videos' opens on the SD Card.

My registry hack over-rides this and saves all pictures to \storage card\my documents\my pictures, so I can not view them in 'pictures and videos'.


Has anyone else used the registry hack to change where the photos are saved too?

Can you tell me where in the registry I can modify this?

I really want to get rid of this now but I can not change the default folder on the SD Card.

Thanks

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card

I believe these are just the registry settings used within the settings of the camera when you select either Main Memory or Storage Card.

When you select Storage Card a new folder 'My Pictures', is created on the SD Root, this is the default folder for 'pictures and videos'.

I added a reg hack that saves directly to storage\my documents\my pictures so over riding the camera settings and the default folder created by selecting storage within the camera.

Because of this my 'pictures and videos' does not open up the photos taken and stored on the storage card. It defaults to the empty 'my pictures' folder on the SD Root, I need to remove the reg hack or modify it so 'pictures and videos' opens my photos on the storage card.

Try this

First set your Camera to Save To: Memory Card

HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder -

Specify your desired Folder Name and no need to include the /Storage Card/My Documents parameter, it is automatically save to /Storage Card/My Documents and you have to enter only the Folder Name.

Ex.
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - My Camera

now all pictures taken woudl be dumped to /Storage Card/My Documents/My Camera

Damn, if WM5 always creates My Documents by default, why then does 'pictures and videos' create a Root copy of 'My pictures' folder and open itself there?

The camera does not save the photos there, yet 'Pictures and Videos' expects the photos to be there, sounds like another 'Microsoft Screw Up' again.

You can use the registry to make photos not go into \Storage Card\My Documents\<dir>. YOu do this by setting the SafeFolder registry entry to be "..\<dir>".

For example:
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SafeFolder = ..\My Pictures

This causes them to be stored in \Storage Card\My Pictures. IT works because Windows will dynamically interpret a .. inside a filename. It ends up being \Storage Card\My Documents\..\My Pictures, which is the same as going into My Documents, and then back out again.

Hope this makes sense.
