i8000 Camera FIX: "Picture_DATE_TIME".JPG

[Guest eduuuuu]

Hello everyone.

First I thank all the ROM chefs. They always make an excellent job.

I had an Omnia i900

Now, I've got the i8000 and i8000L

Well... I guess the title from my post explained it all.

It's really annoying to have the pictures named as: SCN00001, SCN00002, and etc...

We, that flashes ROM all the time.... specially because there are always exceptional ROMs coming up.... The Picture file Name Always Resets to 00001

OR you don't even have to Flash your phone.... if you take a lot of pictures... Document everything with your omnia... And have to do BACK-UPs on your PC... The Camera Picture Folder will be empty, and then... Camera software will start all over, from 00001...

And what really sucks...

go to Your PC.... and Back-up your folder again... You have a HUGE ISSUE to mess with... DUPLICATED File names, but of course, DIFFERENT Pictures!

You are probably facing this problem, since you have your omnia. I or II.

P.S. It's not possible to keep all the pictures in my phone...

as I said: if you are a camera user... you will do back-ups to your PC... then the problem comes later...

Well... I thank you all very much for this forum, Paul, rodrigofd, Khaunchai, ginkage, whiskeybro... (sorry If I forgot anyone). You all make amazing jobs...

Tks

Edu

Ok...!

I've just found My own request... I'm just not sure if it will work on i8000, can any one confirm?? It's from Pako777 (link below)

the thread is inside i900 forum. - it was not easy to find such a nice helpful feature. Hopefully it will come up one or the compatible Pako777 mod, for the i8000

At least I explained for newbies where to find the software/ mod / for the Cam...

(even though I was making a broad search... It's a lot to read... sometimes, Huge threads... and we miss somethings...)

But here is, from Pako777: CameraX - Mod of the camera applet (PUIC2)

Now we need confirmation or similar / compatible mod for i8000.

Tks again.

[Guest Pako777]

yes.. its my mod

Photo\Video name file formated in mask YYMMDD_HHMMSS.*

This works on I8000??

[Guest damienloh]

Why does Omnia II create multiple folders for camera photo?

[Guest Pako777]

This works on I8000??

no no no.. this patch i write only i900 :( .. I have already checked up possibility of a patch i8000_applet - most likely probably

[Guest Pako777]

Why does Omnia II create multiple folders for camera photo?

multiple folders creates not only i8000.. and example i900 too. :( In each folder it is formed no more than 100 files, for faster indexation. This problem too can be solved. I created a patch for i900 which allows to keep all files in one folder, but its not upload

Pako777

Thanks for replying and also working on a mod for i8000.

I, and I believe a lot of users would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Yes please! The badword photo names are a big problem for me :(

TY!

[Guest Hiatus]

Yes that would be a really good features for the i8000, thanks anyone for helping

[Guest Vostradamus]

I switched from my old i900 to the O2 just yesterday... on the i900 I was using the magnificent work of Pako777, I'm sooooooo happy to read that maybe he'll do that on the O2 too :(

[Guest godslayer]

this is a common scenario faced by alot of users who transferred pictures from their cameras to their pc, only to find out that the camera will restart the naming convention from scratch.

you can try using this program called ifraviewer. i use it to consolidate the pictures by their folders and batch rename them.

works really well.

just to share. :(

[Guest _Rix_]

news??

now I use "IMAG to Date" to rename pictures in data,

but a mod like i900_Pako777 would be the best!

Strange everytime after i flash i just change the storage place to storage card and the numbering will be in running order. i didn't notice the numbering did reset! cos i didn't lost any photo <_<

[Guest Glilium]

Sorry for asking a noob question and bumping this thread.

May I know how do I apply the patch files by Pako777?

[Guest HydroBoy]

Found a workaround for you, this registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Camera\DCFNumber] controls the number of the next picture to be taken.

So if you've flashed your phone and it starts taking photos at SCN00001.jpg, just change that key to a bigger number, such as 852 and it will put the next photo in the DCIM\108SSCAM folder and call it SNC00852.jpg.

So all you do when you reflash the phone is set that registry key to one more than the number of the last picture.

This is using JD3 ROM. I don't know if this trick works in a previous ROM.

Hope this helps.

As far as I'm aware, Pakko's fix needs to be cooked into the ROM, but the fix given in the beginning of this topic is only for i900.

Thx sorg!

I'll try it soon~

Edit1:Already tried it.Works like a charm.Though I just put it in my storage and ran it, it really works fine. It create a new photo file folder named "i8000CAM" in my storage\dcim,and the new photo's name is exactly as you said as YYMMDD_HHMMSS.jpg.I'll try to put the mod camera.exe in windows file and restart to see how it'll work.

Edit2:Have replaced the original camera.exe and restart.Works perfectly!

Edit3:Maybe found a little bug.As the new camera.exe creates a new folder named i8000CAM, we can't see the photos we shots in camera program's "Play"...

Thx again sorg!You really did a great job!

my device/windows/

and replace the existing camera.exe file

Just tried it, it's great! :huh:

The only "issue" could be the one about not seeing the pics in the "play" function of the camera, but it's definitely a minor problem, I'd still choose your mod over the original camera a hundred times :blink:

Thanks heaps! :P

[Guest GunnarKarlsson]

Great news

Just a question

Is it possible to change the save location to Storage Card instead of My Storage?

The reason that I cannot test this by myself is that my phone is in for service because of My Storage went missing.

(for the third time. And I have not flashed it even once)

So I can greatly recommend everyone to use the storage card to save images on, otherwise they might get lost.
