Error in search of photo positioned.

Tigus shared this problem 10 years ago
Solved

It is a detail not more ... but good.

In the search for "photo positioned" in the popup window displays three options. The first is "All directories" when the search directory shown in single quotes, it is showing the directory of the photos from the camera, so there would be no difference with the second option.

Good day tigus,


thank you. One user already reported to me this issue. Fortunately it's only problem in description. Function works correctly and first option really search completely in your device.


Issue will be fixed in next 2.20.0 version.

Hello Menion, excellent!

Question: how to determine the directory that stores the photos the camera? It is always /storage/sdcard0/DCIM? In my case the directory is /storage/extSdCard/DCIM, for which use the third option in the window.

It is more a curious question than a problem.

Thanks Gynta ;)


Search for a place where user has store photos is little bit complicated as only if you use default Google camera app, developers may be "sure" photos will be on place, where system say they are.


So in may case, I use function provided by Android

  1. Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
  2. Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)

Where Google itself write: Get a top-level public external storage directory for placing files of a

particular type. This is where the user will typically place and manage their

own files


So mainly for this reason, exists third option, so you may find manually correct directory.

Menion Again, thanks for the explanation!

I just would have indicated to the camera store photos on the external memory card, which in my case corresponds to / storage / extSdCard. As the camera records pictures in that directory.

Luck is the third option!
