Importing photos from mobile - shows all picture - even device pictures #448

When I choose sync photos from my mobile, it chooses every directory on my phone so I need to swipe about 15 times before I get to the right pictures. Can this be fixed so it either choose the same photo albums shown in the standard gallery included in Android or allow you to select which folders to choose from. Any kind of filter should help. Thanks

If i understand you right and you want to upload single photo with standard gallery navigation you can click on camera icon and choose option 'Gallery'. Is that it?

CDEEEE commented 11 years ago

I hit the upload limit in the free service so it would let me hit the camera to test this out. I am not sure why anyone would want to sync icons, etc.

@CDEEEE you can remove few photos from trovebox. This will decrease upload counter so you will be able to upload again.

Hitting photo icon allows the upload of only one picture at a time which is not too friendly. Still not sure why sync shows thousands of system icon and others. I can't even tell where they are being pulled from. If I can find the source folders I may be able to fix.

Sync tab shows all photos which are present in mediastore. Same photos you can see in gallery but there they are grouped by folders

We can try to use StrickyGridHeader to separate images in the sync tab by folders. It will look like this:

@CDEEEE @patricksan @jmathai what do you think?

patricksan commented 11 years ago

@httpdispatch I will discuss with @jmathai. For now, not priority unfortunately.

@httpdispatch What do you mean by the mediastore? Is that a folder on my device or on the cloud? I am talking about the folders from my device. Maybe I am misunderstanding the point of the sync. Thanks

@CDEEEE mediastore is the database which contains information about media present on the device link. Sync tab shows images present in that database. Same you can see in native gallery application but grouped by album/date or other parameters.
