After playing for ages I finally figured this out!

If any neatness freaks like me anyone are irritated by the way the Camera on the Kaiser saves to \Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA, and would like it instead to save to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures to keep everything tidy, edit the following registry key

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General and change EnableDCIM from 1 to 0

as with all registry changes hold down the power key to switch off, then restart

Is there something like this that would work for the VOX as well?

MacroMode = 0 ???

well i tried the MacroMode = 0 and tried changing it to MacroMode = 1 but it didnt have any effect

Although changing EnableDCIM from 1 to 0 worked fine

An Idiots guide to editing the Registry

Download and install either Resco Explorer with registry plugin or Total Commander

Resco puts a shortcut for 'Resco Registry' in the start menu, with TC run it and hit the \\ at the top of the tree until you see the registry option

now browse to the path

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General   (HKLM is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)

click on the value EnableDCIM and change the data from 1 to 0......save........exit.......hold down the power key to switch off as mentioned above.....restart


You can edit the registry to tweak all manner of things have a look at these pages in the wiki for more examples

Pint please  

[sc0user_75]

Thanks Mandt. Let me know next time you're in London and I'll gladly treat you to a pint... and if you help with all my other thousand and one questions I may even buy you 2 pints

[creamhackered]

Nice fix but when you open up the pictures app it goes to the DCIM folder instead...!

Change it with the drop-down arrow, you only need to do it once

Not if you close the app or reboot the phone you don't. you have to do it everytime  

[mandt]

Oh that's reall wierd, every WM device I've used goes to My Pictures on the device, the fact that yours goes straight to the Card seems to suggest it can be changed

/me searches the Registry in hope

[sc0user_75]

Mandt, being a fussy so&so I just went to amend the Registry as you suggested. But guess what??? My setting was already on 0. Is that normal? In detail - I had (0x0) 0

[mandt]

Where does your Camera save its photos (when set to save to Storage Card)?

If your EnableDCIM value is set to 0 then the Camera should already save to \My Documents\My Pictures, in which case leave it alone

also ,where are you getting this info from?

Yup. It was set to 0. The pics are saved to My Storage/My Pics.

Only thing is, when I open up My Pics & Videos I still get My Device/My Pics & Videos.

Is there anyway to change it to Storage card as default? Ive tried to leave it on storage, but once you close down My Pics & Vids and go back in at a later time you go back into My Device

That is the norm, although creamhackered's seems to go straight to \Storage Card\DCIM for some strange reason  

I'm currently trying to work out if there's a way to set Pictures and Videos to go to a folder of your choosing, as the fact that creamhackered's Pics n Vids app starts up on his card suggests there's a way it can be changed, although I've had no joy so far

[sc0user_75]

Good luck Mandt.

Now to go reply to your post about spbdiary

[creamhackered]

Yeah it would be neat to just have it open by default to the storage card and my pictures instead of the device. Not sure why Microsoft don't just enable this as an option. Hopefully when the new HTC Touch pictures app gets released we'll be able to port this to the Kaiser

[mandt]

Amen to that!!

Have you seen the Video on msmobiles?

[mandt]

Check out PocketCM Image Viewer

I've got it on my Touch and it's great! slide between photos using your finger, tap to zoom, double tap to zoom out. Its only up to version0.3 and already showing a lot of promise
