How can I set the default photos folder?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm a beginner dev in alfresco and I've been asked to configure the dashlet 
such that it loads from a default folder within the repository. (The goal is 
that every new user added has the same gallery view)

Make a copy of gallery-grid-dashlet.get.config.xml and place it in:

/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/site-webscripts/de/fme/components/dashlets/ga
llery-grid-dashlet.get.config.xml

Add the xml tag: <filterPath>/your/path/</filterPath>

That should be all. These values should be used as defaults in 
gallery-grid-dashlet.get.js (look there for the other properties).

Tried using /Company Home/<folder name> as a test (folder display path 
retrieved from the js controller) but this didn't work. In what format should I 
specify this?

You can either use a a nodeRef to specify a folder, e.g.
workspace://SpacesStores/47e32e908b23572a3572430572

or a so called "qnamePath" that you can find in the Alfresco nodeBrowser, like 
it is used in a lucene PATH query:

/app:company_home/cm:foldername/

Also see: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search#Path_Queries

The best way to find the path is the Alfresco Node Browser in the admin console.

can target the right folder with the following path: 
/app:company_home/cm:Galerie_x0020_Photo  and when I use the 
workspace://SpacesStore/879d98e4-c10b-4542-bccc-1e6714652039 format for the 
filterPath I get images from the right folder + the default images which comes 
with the extension which are then blown up to oversized porportions.

There are no images coming with the extension. You probably mean the images 
that come with Alfresco in the "SWSDP" site. Some of those images are too 
small, that is why they are enlarged in the preview.

I don't understand if you still have an issue, can you post a screenshot to 
explain?

I do. when I specify the filterpath in the qname format 
/app:company_home/cm:Galerie_x0020_Photo (which I get from the node navigator) 
Nothing is displayed, but when I use the workspaces store everything including 
what you have currently pinged as coming from the swsdp site is also displayed 
but the ones from the default site are Blown out here are two screen shots:

but I only want images from the folder to be shown.
