changing default camera folder
 

i wanna know if there is a way to change camera default folder as you see it in photos viewer??

Re: changing default camera folder
 

Once I tried to change folder where camera-ui (one from CSSU, but should also apply to stock) save photos - I wanted it to use folder on my truecrypt partition.

It turned out to be surprisingly hard - You can't of course, just symlink it from vfat. Editing all config files that people pointed me to was to no avail. I'm still shaking my head about it.

To change the default camera location, the only thing I found was to click the rectangle icon next to the 999 in the bottom left corner. There's an option there to change between internal storage or external storage...

This was probably what Estel was refering to but to another partition...

Yea, thats change between eMMC and microSD. Unfortunately, it's only switch between mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk1p1 (MyDocs and microSD vfat, on default setup) - no way to convince it to save on any other partition, AFAIK. Which is big lacking feature, IMO.

Re: changing default camera folder
 

How come I don´t have this dir
I´ve recently flashed my phone and all the photos I take are stored directly in MyDocs or in mmc1 but not in their respectivly folder (camera or DCIM)
How can I change this?
Thanks

Re: changing default camera folder
 

You probably have this directory.
But I guess you tried to enter it as root-user

and cd ~/.config
would cd you to '/root/.config' then

but it is the directory
/home/user/.config/
where you find the file 'user-dirs.dirs' responsible for these directories.

Hi to all I have not that file present on my N900... I also try to find it with
find / -name *filename*
but the result is "No such file or directory"

Re: changing default camera folder
 

I have /home/user/.config the one I don´t have is the file user-dirs.dirs

Re: changing default camera folder
 

You can create the file if you don't have it although be careful with the paths...

Re: changing default camera folder
 

Idea: Mount some directory at DCIM with the --bind option, that may work.

How it should be?

Sorry for being noob :(

Just throwing mount and bind into google gives results like this:

Put it into fstab to make the change permanent, else it will vanish after a restart. If you don't know what fstab is: google it and read carefully. You may brick you phone if you do it wrong. You could post the resulting fstab here before saving it, so somebody can tell you if its ok. No more info from me, I have an exam tomorrow.
