changing default camera folder

[javadz_1385]

i wanna know if there is a way to change camera default folder as you see it in photos viewer??

Once I tried to change folder where camera-ui (one from CSSU, but should also apply to stock) save photos - I wanted it to use folder on my truecrypt partition.

It turned out to be surprisingly hard - You can't of course, just symlink it from vfat. Editing all config files that people pointed me to was to no avail. I'm still shaking my head about it.

To change the default camera location, the only thing I found was to click the rectangle icon next to the 999 in the bottom left corner. There's an option there to change between internal storage or external storage...

This was probably what Estel was refering to but to another partition...

Yea, thats change between eMMC and microSD. Unfortunately, it's only switch between mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk1p1 (MyDocs and microSD vfat, on default setup) - no way to convince it to save on any other partition, AFAIK. Which is big lacking feature, IMO.

Wow. I just happened to be looking this up today and found this:

~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

How come I don´t have this dir
I´ve recently flashed my phone and all the photos I take are stored directly in MyDocs or in mmc1 but not in their respectivly folder (camera or DCIM)
How can I change this?
Thanks

You probably have this directory.
But I guess you tried to enter it as root-user

and cd ~/.config
would cd you to '/root/.config' then

but it is the directory
/home/user/.config/
where you find the file 'user-dirs.dirs' responsible for these directories.

Hi to all I have not that file present on my N900... I also try to find it with
find / -name *filename*
but the result is "No such file or directory"
