Hey I have a question relating to the android gallery. I downloaded some pics off the net, and created my own folder in my SD card but now I get a error loaded pic when I try to view them.
But if I move the pics back to the /download/ directory they show up no problem in the gallery. I'm not sure why this is happening? Any ideas?

How do you make the photos and Music settings to always look at the SD card path? right now photos are blank and I have to pic folders and go to the SD folders manually.
thanks!
This has been a topic discussed several times. It has to do with the chome.dll file stored in the /windows directory. For some reason it only maps to the /my documents/my pictures and the storage card/pictures folders (called storage card/DCIM). So the only work around, although a poor one, is to create a folder in the main root of your storage called "pictures" ( and not "my pictures") . Then place your pics there and they will show up on the sliding panel on your home screen. You will also be able to acces them from there. The only thing this will not do is send all of the pics you've taken from your camera to that directory. It will still put them in /storage card/my pictures (assuming you are using your storage card for puting your photos to) so you will still have to manually move those pics to the /storage card/pictures directory when you finish taking the pics.
Wow it's amazing what one can stumble upon when they are not looking. I had the same problem just never really searched out the issue. I tried what you suggested and works like a charm! Thanks pudgedaddy!
You can also create a folder called "DCIM" and it will detect the pictures on there as well.

Hello guys,
Is there a way to create folders in my gallery to organize all the pics that I have?
I have tried to create using ASTRO folders in DCIM \ Camera and and I have added some photos but when I open Gallery from my phone I can only see Camera Shots and All photos. I tried to move the folders in DCIM direcly same result.
Is there a way to do this?
And also in DCIM I see all new videos and phots are stored in 100MEDIA but I have a Camera folder, what is this Camera folder used for?
Thanks
You need to remount your SD card for your phone to see the new folders (or reboot). Try SD Mount or Reload SD from the market. Everytime you add new photos or new folders, remount your card, and your gallery should show the photos and folders. Personally, I create folders inside the media/pictures folder on my SD card, which works fine for me. Hope this helps

Good work! You inadvertantly answered another query I had regarding moving pictures into the pictures folder!
Does anyone know the location of the wallpapers folder?
Thanks!!
Hi all,
I make some pics with my camera, than I moved using root explore (select all and than move) from DCIMto another folder that I created.
Here ok, but the problem is that I did more pics with the camera and had the same name as the previous.....I didn't recognize and I paste all the new pics in the same folder that I created before....the app replaced all the oldest pics with the new ones, and I can't find in the folder all the pics together.....
I think that the pics are been replaced as they have the same name...
Could you please help how to find the files? I can only see the last pics!
Many thank
Ps: no message from the app to confirm to replace the files after I paste!
If the pictures have been overwritten then you may be out of luck. Download Recuva and do a full scan of your SDCard if it finds them you may be able to recover them.
Similiar thing happenned to me and I lost 1500 pictures. After hours of searching for the right program I recovered over 1000 off them back using a program called Recover It or something like that. Recover it should be a free program is I'm not mistaken.
Thank-you All for your idea....I record the photo using card recovery.
The pics have a small resolution (800x470) but are perfectly good...
Thank for your support
Hey guys, I recently transferred my photos from phone storage to sd card now it is not showing in my gallery. I am pretty certain I found the answer somewhere on here before but I can't find it anymore.
1. The pictures are there in my sd card I can view it in my a file explorer, but it does not show in "gallery"
2. I tried clearing data for gallery and media. I also tried force closing them, still a no go.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
You can always go to your DCIM (or DCMI i really forget) -> media ->whatevs folder you got and put your photos there. Some of my photos don't appear in the stock htc gallery either. Must be directory thing. I just use google photos but DCIM is the main directory so it should work.

Yeah I've done that before, but I remember the was a really simple solution. I think I came across it in one of the rom threads a few months ago, but can't remember.
Aside from restarting the phone there's always this.

Clear the cache with an app like sdmaid.. It is probably retaining old links etc
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Is there a ".nomedia" file hidden in the folder that contains your pictures? If yes your problems should be solved if you delete it.
Hi, 2 days ago 2 of my folders in gallery got suddenly disappeared. There was a 'Camera' folder and a 'Kamera' folder (in Turkish), and there was a 'Screenshots' folder and a 'Ekran Görüntüleri' folder. Folders named in Turkish (disappared ones) was like the real folders, they were the main ones. All my new taken screenshots and photos were in that folders. The other ones contain some old photos. I remember i deleted 2-3 videos but did not deleted any of that folders accidentally. I looked at google photos but there were only old pictures. I tried many recovery programs but they didnt work because they are not deleted, they got lost. Is there a way i can try? They were so important to me please help...
(Also i tried to find by connecting PC, but i dont want to try format because they could be in internal storage.)
