I can't understand what may be wrong. It works fine for me, keeping the original picture in Camera and making a new copy in 100ANDRO. Please, allow me a stupid question: are you sure the directory is set as "Copy" mode? My drawing skills aren't the best, could it be you're getting the wrong icon?

my review.
DCIMhelper is often overlooked because it's function is a rather mundane one.
But it makes sense that pictures are moved to the DCIM folder for compliance sake.
The app can also monitor folders that you wish to either move, or make a copy of from the original folder, to DCIM.
My other android app like Quick Pic can easily pick up the DCIM folder, so it doesn't matter where the picture is located, although for compliance sake, it's better to be in the DCIM folder. And this is what DCIMhelper helps you accomplish with ease.
The non donator version only monitors one folder (which you would normally use for the camera folder first and foremost). The donator version allows you to monitor multiple folders, which is useful if your using other android apps that stores images in different custom folders, rather than the DCIM folder.
So that sums up what DCIMhelper does. Yes mundane, but nevertheless does what it says, for DCIM compliance. Good app, kudos

11IMPORTANT: after an update, be sure to turn on the app, as Play Store turs it off!
Do you hate when iPhoto won't show the pictures you shot with your Android device, but it works fine with your friend's HTC Sense device? Why is that?!?
That's simply because Google's camera does not comply with the DCIM standard, used by every other Digital Camera in the world (HTC Sense does it!) and properly recognized by iPhoto.
With this app, your Android device will be able to comply and iPhoto will display and import your pictures.
FEATURES:
- Hassle free "Configure once and forget forever!"
- Works with any picture taking app, not just the stock Android Camera!
- "Automagic" background moving of newly taken shots into the proper folder. No need to open the app each time you connect to iPhoto.
- Fully DCIM compliant and fully Android MediaServer compliant (pictures will not vanish from the Gallery).
- If you don't feel like moving, you can select to copy the pictures (but don't forget to check your free space!)
- ON/OFF switch to quickly enable or disable the app.
- Supported picture format: JPG, JPEG, PNG.
- Supported movie format: 3GP, M4A, M4V, MOV.
- Supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X hosts (don't worry about Thumbds.db, ._IMG0001.jpg files and so on!)
ADVANCED FEATURES (which require a once-in-a-lifetime donation):
- Multiple folder monitoring: if you use Third Party apps (Camera MS, ICS Camera, ...) you can move/copy their pictures as well! Just add their folder to the monitored list.

DOWNLOADS
The app is available for free on Google Play Store.

PLANNED FEATURES
- Translations: if you want to contribute, you can submit your own translation to http://www.getlocalization.com/DCIMHelper/. If I feel like it, I may give you a special package enabling extra features as a thank you... but the translation has to be good!
-A homescreen widget to turn on/off the service (without having to open the app):victory:
- Optionally rename 3GP, MOV, M4V, etc files to MP4.
- Improve auto-discovery on devices using "_externalSD" hack.
-"Share to..." service to be used in Gallery and such apps.After a review, it looks like it's impossible due to Android internals.12012-08-28 - 1.1
- Added support for MP4 movies.
- Added Homescreen Widget to quickly toggle the app ON/OFF (1x1, 2x1) and display the current number of pictures and movies processed by the app (2x1 only).
I hope you'll like the widgets, the icon should be self explanatory. The number (only available in the 2x1 widget, so people can have a toggle-only-widget) is the count of pictures and movies that the app moved. So you can keep an eye on it increasing when you shoot a picture!
I tried them on a HDPI (HTC Desire Z) and a LDPI (Samsung Galaxy Mini) devices. They should look fine on other screen sizes as well, both portrait and landscape. :fingers-crossed:
