Default Camera Picture Storage

is there any way to change the location of where the images are stored. i selected storage card and it stores them in the root (dumb) on my tilt i used advanced config and changed the location i tried on my expo but still stores on the root of the storage card.

thx

I don't think anyone's found a solution yet. I think it's doubly dumb... it stores it at the root, AND it names it in a way that all of my image viewers view out of sequence. I hope this is something they fix someday, because I happen to like the eXpo's camera. :P

Agreed. Love the camera on this phone (especially compared to my Tilt's, shudder) but hate that it saves the pics to the storage card's root directory. Sure, I can move them into a subfolder myself in bulk later, but c'mon people, no one's found a way to change this?

Ok it's \HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation. Map external to wherever you want pictures stored.

Thanks for the find, but it doesn't work. We did this on the Incite as well and the camera program overrides this key. I just tested it on the eXpo and the eXpo camera overrides it just like the Incite camera did.

i set mine as \storage card\my documents\my pictures\

but it still sticks them in the root. i've rebooted my phone and changed from external to internal and then back to external to see if it would take the change.

is this working for anyone else?
