Help Sharing pictures without resizing from non-stock app

Hello again all,

Little pet peave of mine..

I like to send multiple pictures sometimes pictures I've downloaded, taken, screenshot etc. But the stock gallery app splits my pictures up into multiple folders which is a pain since I cant multiselect "inter-folder-ly" if you will..

I have the fisheye app which seems to work ok for displaying all pictures on the device in chronological order.. But I have 2 minor issues that I would love to fix.

1) When sending photos, it resizes them (I know there's a setting select "no resize" when sharing, but when you share multiples or you go to add the picture via the attachment button in the message app it resizes and saves a copy of the resize). This not only clutters up the gallery, but it's tough to tell which is the non-resized picture when sending again later.

I have a 8mp camera on my phone and I would like to take advantage of that and not send out pixalated images..

I have set this as the default program for attaching pictures.. so it goes dirrectly to fisheye when i click the paperclip.

2) Randomly it will add (sent via fisheye @ www.xyzabc.com)
Anyway to remove that??

Again thanks in advance for any help!

As you can see tthere are a lot of duplicates..
 
Now this is interresting.

I have never noticed mine duplicating the pics.

What is thefolder location of the duplicates?

You do also fully understand the reason for the reszing correct?

The folder location is called fidgeted something..

And I don't understand the resize at all..
 
The reason for resizing is that an 8mp camera takes pictures that are approximately 3200x2400 pixels which is far too large to be seen on any standard sized computer monitor without shrinking them, let alone an 800x480 pixel phone screen. The larger the picture, the larger the file size (until compression is involved) Even with compression, a large jpeg is still a large file. Takes longer to send and uses more data on your data plan (and the receiving person's data plan). The only reason to maintain such high resolution is for print purposes.

With jpeg compression, the files from my camera are between 2 to 3M per photo. Sending fewer than 1000 of them will top off a 2G data plan quickly without using any other data at all.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I shoot photos with an 18MP Canon 7D and I have a large format printer capable of knocking out 19" prints. That isn't necessary for sharing snapshots with family members. It's just waste. Very few of their email accounts would accept the 18M files that come out of it and if any of them tried to download one on their phone, they would cut my n**s off!

I can appreciate that.. no need to send pics in a resolution that can't be downloaded efficiently..I suppose
 
Interesting...when you send your picts do you send from within messaging or from within fishbowl?

It should be saving a copy (that i have noticed)
