I have a zillion pics in my camera gallery. Many of which are private... Is there a way to create folders or sections so that I can move or assign a pic to one or another folder? Maybe an app?

I would believe any file manager app should do. I use X-Plore.
But I think it'll probably be easier connecting the Note to the PC and setting up/organizing your collection via mass storage.
Hi lgpars,
Sorry, are you trying to organize the folders on the home screen as well as rename them?
If so, just open the folder, then press and hold the title bar (the bar that has the name of the folder) and it will allow you to rename the folder.
If you are looking to organize the files within the Galaxy Note, then you will need a file management tool such as X-Plore. X-Plore has dual panes, so it can be a little confusing to use if you are not familiar with it. If you have the tool bar to the left of the screen, then you are using the right pane and vice versa.
Basically, how it works is:
Now to rename a folder/file, simply select the folder/file and press the 'Rename' button.
- select a folder in the left pane
- select a folder in the right pane (this will set the source and target folders for whatever you plan to copy/move)
- click on the checkmarks on the files you plan to copy/move
- press the 'copy' or 'move' button on the tool bar (or alternatively, just press and hold for a pop-up menu)
- a pop-up window will show you where the files will go
- if you made a mistake, simply hit the box that shows the target folder
- choose the correct target folder
- repeat steps 3-5
- you're done.
Now if you have a lot of photos and folders to play with, I really suggest using the computer to organize the collection as it will be much quicker and easier to do. But that's just me.
HTH.
I have my pics in the external SD as 'Pictures' (main folder) and grouped into appropriate subfolders. The Gallery app is able to pick these up and I'm able to view the pics. Not sure if this is what you are asking for?
In terms of apps being installed, they go directly into the internal SD memory of the phone. If you want it in the external SD card you have to go into app manager to do it. You can change the camera save location to the external or internal SD. The default location is set to the internal SD. If you are talking about files downloaded from the internet, the settings can be changed to a designated folder you want the downloads to go.
I use Opera Mobile only because it has a function similar to the 'save as' feature in Windows. I choose where I want my downloads to go the moment I need to download something. It is an invaluable tool for me.
I have a 16GB and 32GB microSD. So I have no problems with space.
Okay, I hope this will help explain how to do it (I'm going to use some visual aids)
To create a new folder, simply do the following:
- Select the directory/folder you want the folder to be created in. Example: /sdcard/external_sd (sdcard)
- Press and hold the directory/folder to get a pop-up menu OR scroll the tool bar
- press the 'New folder' button.
- a window pop-up will display and ask what you want to name the folder (in this case it will be 'Pictures')
- Press OK button when you're done
- Repeat the above steps if you want to create subfolders (but this time highlight the 'Pictures' folder you recently created)
To move files into the folders you created, simply do the following:
- go to where the files/pics are
- check off the ones you want to move
- scroll the side tool bar until you find the 'move' button
- press the 'move' button
- a window pop-up will display to confirm the move (note: it will display a box showing you the target/destination folder)
- if it is correct, simply press the OK button
- if it is not correct, press the target/destination folder button and select the new target/destination (note: this will cancel the move function. You will need to go back to the pane you had checked the files off and select the 'Move' button again)
- you are done
Nah. An idiot would a person not asking for help when they need it...I know you must think I'm a complete idiot but I know nothing about doing this kind of stuff.

Sorry, I thought the screen shots would have provided a good hint that X-plore is still being used to move the pics around into the folders you created.
Once you're done all that moving and organizing, you can view the pics in the Gallery app.
HTH.

Good to hear.
This is actually very simple to do. When you are in the app section, simply press the 'menu' button and select 'edit'. Now you can move stray apps into the folders you organized. You can also delete the empty folders by tapping them when in edit mode. It will pop a window to confirm. I did this too. Makes it easier to navigate and find the apps you need.
HTH.
Good to hear.Just wanted to let you know I DID IT!!!!!

Makes it easier to navigate and find the apps you need.Now if you could tell me how to delete two blank folders I made in the Applications section of my phone and also how to move apps into or out of the folders I made to organize my apps without them always hopping to my home pages I would be a happy camper.
Can anyone help, very frustrating......dont know how to hide the screen shot to not expose EVERYONE with the topless picture.
Hi cheekys00,
If you need to hide something, just deploy the hide tags <HIDE></HIDE> (replace the <> with []). Anything you put within these tags will be hidden. You can edit your post accordingly.
eg. <HIDE>I want to hide this sentence</HIDE>
Using actual tags will yield this:I want to hide this sentence
Now regarding your folders, the 2 Camera folders reflect pictures residing both in the internal phone memory and external SD card. They are located in the DCIM folders on both phone and external SD. My guess would be that at one point your settings were set to save pictures taken in the phone memory and then later in the memory card. You can move them into a single folder, but whenever you use the camera, it will always put it into the Camera folder under DCIM on either internal phone or external SD. It will depend on the settings you have in the camera app.
I see that my attempt at deploying the hash tags didnt work. I apolodise to everyone if you are offended by the topless pic.
Delete the 'offending' image itself from your post. You have the image url hidden in your post already. Just modify it removing the URL tags and replacing them with IMG tags.
So when hiding an image the tags should look like:
<HIDE><IMG>the url of the image</IMG></HIDE>.
Again replace the <> with [].
HTH.
As for the gallery issue, I'm pretty sure it's reading ALL compatible image files from the internal and external memory and displaying them accordingly to whatever its programmed to do. Unfortunately, there's no simple setting to direct it to one folder.
I think when it reads the images, it also reads the directory it's in. So if you have a master directory 'Pictures', but have subdirectories like 'Pics', 'Stuff', etc. the gallery will auto populate the subdirectories and ignore the master directory. Therefore resulting in the multiple stacks.
This is just an assumption on my part. I don't use gallery much. If I have time, I'll experiment and see what can be done.
