Problem with Camera writing to Storage card

[mixersoft]

I have this strange problem I can't figure out

I can take a photo and save it to the internal memory, but not the Storage Card. The camera recognizes teh storage card when I insert it, asks me if I want to make it the default storage location, but when I take pictures, nothing gets saved.

I can put files on the storage card just fine.

any thoughts?

TIA

Does it repeatedly ask if you want to save to storage card?
When you check has it resorted to Main?
Do you have the Network folder enabled?

If so then check through this:

Camera Save/Storage Problems


Specifying your own location in registry=
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - xyz

where xyz is your folder name, but note this folder will be added as a subfolder of the following (in this case storage card) auto added path:
/Storage Card/My Documents

Note that setting a location or name other than the defaults will result in problems viewing pictures via the application, though they can be view by locating and opening files individually.

[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
Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.

Now unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:

If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.

BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:

be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or File Commander to do this - forget now if regukar File Explorer does it)

Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.

The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

So I tried to make the changes above, and I discovered that my "\Storage Card\My Documents" folder must somehow be corrupt. I can't even create a "My Pictures" sub-folder to do the Regedit fixes above. BTW, I WAS able to create a new folder in "\Storage Card"

Any idea why this is happening?

How about using active sync explore function on PC. Delete the folders and recreate \Storage Card\My Documents\My pictures
