Photos app stopped to show images of shared folders

Hello

My apps IdeaPad and EasyCrop save pictures in the shared documents folder. But the latest OS update 1.0.5 in my PlayBook does not show all pictures stored in shared folders.

I tried to put in other shared folders (shared/photos) etc., but the photos app does not display all images saved from third-party applications.

However, when Browse dialog opens to load the image, it displays all pictures stored in the shared folders.

Everyone experienced up to now?

If you have a PlayBook with last update, can you please try EasyCrop or any other free image utility to save an image and try to view in photos app?

Thank you

Okay, I finally found what was wrong.

The updated OS 1.0.5.2342 have some changes in the mapped file APIs.

File.documentsDirectory and File.desktopDirectory now points to the same folder "documents" on real PlayBook device.

The last API docs v1.0.1 is incorrect. File.desktopDirectory is assumed to point to the "root" of work-sharing files.

My applications used File.documentsDirectory to save the images. But the app photos in previous versions was showing images in the documents folder as well. In the last update, it stopped showing images in the documents folder.

Now I've just updated my application to use File.userDirectory which now points to the root of the working folder. And now I'm able to save to the shared folder / photos.

Save the actions/pictures folder now shows in the photos app.

I'm now confused if I should download new versions of my applications to use this mapping has changed or I should wait for RIM fix this bad mapping.

  • Windows 8.1 RT Photos App (repeat slide show)

    Hi all

    As my original Surface RT does not much more, I decided to turn it into an observer of photo frames really expensive to play a slide show image indefinitely from my SkyDrive. My question is, where is the place to make the slideshow 'Repeat' in the 'Photos' of Microsoft application? It will be random photos during the presentation, but then when he showed at least once each photo, the slide show ends and I have to restart manually. How can I make the slideshow repeat forever?

  • Sharing of photo on El Capitan Photos.app messages blocking the Photos app

    Hello

    I notice that when I try to share a photo of the Photos app using some extensions in the share menu, the app will hang finally.  Let's say I want to share a photo of Messages or Notes.  I have a photo, box/arrow icon, select "Messages".  Then I get a small window with the picture in it and may or may not be able to select a recipient before the whole process hangs.

    I CAN'T go to the menu Photos.app and do a Quit.  Otherwise the duration of the session stops responding.  Sharing via the email option works well.  Note fails.

    It must be rare, as I have searched and not found anything.

    iCloud library is enabled, and the storage is not optimized.

    Thanks in advance for advice.

    After having this problem for weeks, I rebooted in safe mode to try sharing the Photos app.  It has worked well.  After the reboot in normal mode, including a power off when the normal start hanging around 15% for one hour, the system starts finally normally in "normal mode".  Now sharing photos works again.

    I don't know what changed, but something positive happened.

  • I have created a slideshow using Photos app. I wish that the images will appear in a random order (as they can in Power Point). I see no way to do it in the settings. Any advice?

    I have created a slideshow using Photos app. I wish that the images will appear randomly (as they can in Power Point), but I don't see where in the settings that allows this. Any thoughts?

    There is no option in Photos for MAc that allows you to randomly pull a slide show.

    You can create an album and have the album as an instant slide show in a random order using an Apple Script.

  • Visualization of images on external hard drive via Photos app

    Is it possible to view photos stored on an external hard drive through Photos app?  I want to use the slide show feature but don't want to import them on my mac every time I want to see photos of old (and consequently taken disk space).

    I just saw that when I import a picture in the Photos app, each image takes place twice the amount of space on my drive hard because it "copy of the original file.  Rather than using a reference library, which, according to other threads, is ill advised, I had to use an external hard drive for storing images instead.

    Photos is not a photo viewer - is a Photo Manager and deals only with photos that have been imported into its library - you can have your library on an external hard drive or a second library on an EHD or you can use a third party Slideshow software

  • How to stop the photo.app of the opening when I plugin my iPhone?

    I just installed El Capitan last night. I loved that everything seems to be much more vivid than before.

    Only problem so far is Photo.app keeps opening when I plugin my iPhone. I do not use Photo.app and I have my own system to store my images and I don't want to block my SSD with images that I have elsewhere. How can I stop this from happening? I got this game to Yosemite, but do not remember how I did it.

  • Photos from D: drive not showing is not Up in Photos App

    I have 2 sites set up in my library of images.  C:\Pictures and D:\Pictures.  All the pictures I have put in the directory C:\Pictures immediately appear in the new Photos app.  However the photos on my drive D: not will appear in the same Photos app if the folder are in are included in my library of images.   I had actually just a live remote session with Microsoft Support and I was told that it is a limitation of windows 8, which will appear only images located on the C: drive in the Photos app.

    It's * really * the case?  I have a very small SSD drive that I use for installed applications.  All data such as photos, videos and documents are stored on my drive D: (terrabyte), so this means basically I can't use new applications of Photos or videos?

    Hi Boscarelli,

    Yes, the content on the drive can be moved to a folder in the picture library. Given that you do not want to be able to access an external drive using the photo app, use your comments to submit your suggestion.

    1. Open the photo app
    2. Press the Windows key + C
    3. Select settings
    4. Select your comments
    5. Select I want to suggest a way to do something better
    6. Select Next
    7. Add your comment
    8. Select submit
    Well, it is not an external drive.  The drive D:\ is an internal hard drive connected via SATA.   In windows 7, I had moved my personal files on the disk D:\Pictures.  So when the folder navigation D:\Pictures actually appear in Explorer as my images since it is the default image library folder.

    I have moved all content of D:\Pictures to D:\TestPictures and added the file TestPictures to the photo library, and now my pictures are appearing in the Photos app.  They did not immediately so I guess that they do not show up until the files have been indexed.
    So the D:\Pictures folder was not indexed (he was reported to BE indexed for several days) or windows 8 has been confused by move me my personal folders on windows 7 to a new directory and moving them to D:\TestPictures solved the problem.
    Thanks for your reply though!

    * Edit * it's silly that I can't close my own post or mark my answer as the answer!

  • live photo app tile use a single directory - why mine not use photos of all records in images m

    I have Windows 8.  The Live App Photo tile will focus on a single folder in my library of photos, so I see even a few pix over and over.  I tried to move all my files off C, uninstall and then reinstall the photo app.  If I move a few files photo back to my pictures, live tiles don't show me pix of the first record that I move.  I have hundreds of files - how can I get the app to watch each of them, as it should?

    Thanks for any help!
    It's just the way the brain dead photos app works. It refreshes these 5 tiles
    rarely and there are no easy click and change. You can
    manually force it to refresh if. See
    For more details.

    The only way, as far as I know in the current version of Photos.app, to change a Photos.app picture in photoshop, is to export Photos.appphoto, then edit it in photoshop and re - import in Photos.app.

    Don't try to open pictures in Photos.app library directly in photoshop (i.e. open Photos.app library with the Show package contents) or you may ruin the Photos.app library.

  • Live photo showing 2 different files in photos app on mac!

    Hello

    I recently imported photos from my iphone to my Mac using photos for OSX app. But after graduating successfully imported it shows me two different elements i.e. photo itself & a short video. So for my 300 live photos it's show me 300 photos and 300 videos.

    So why it shows two different files, I suppose, that it should show only direct photo because it shows on my iPhone.

    I also tried to repair the library command to open the photos app, but it did not work. Help, please!

    Thank you

  • Best art / image editing / photo App?

    Hello

    I bought a Macbook Pro (i7/16 GB/512Ram) about a month ago and it will use for a photo editing and a work of art (as well as email, youtube and the usual stuff).

    As support for opening has now stopped and I don't subscribe to "Photoshop Creative Cloud", I was wondering if there is a good alternative?

    Affinity Photo looks interesting and promising (and is only £40 / $60), but I donnt know how well or otherwise it is to organize files and collections.

    I think Lightroom (or what they call Photoshop-Lightroom) is always available as a "buy it and confess" App to about £104 / $149.    It is essentially Lightroom or Photoshop and Lightroom combined?   Confused.

    Personally I do not like Apple Photo, the new photo on Mac management tool.   I would prefer something that automatically looks for all the photos stored on the computer rather than having to import them and it's editing capabilities are weak.

    As I do a mixture of (pixel based rather than vector) art / illustration and photo editing, I was wondering what is the best option?

    Thank you

    Photo of the affinity has no organizational capacity. It's just one editor

    Lightroom is a standalone application, it isn't photoshop as well. On subscription, you can get both for $10 per month or similar. LR is an organizer, but also a non-destructive processor. This is the most common replacement for aperture. It is a processor of many more capable, though my experience pretty slow and so I'm in the treatment of the migration to

    Capture One, next alternative to the opening. So far, so better.

    There is no serious photo app that "looks like for all photos", all non-destructive processors are built on databases and require only the imported data.

    It is possible that you clicked the 'Block Images' item in the context menu by attempting to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > content: Load Images: Exceptions - see the web content, pop-ups, fonts and language settings

    A way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar.
    Click on the "More information" button opens the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    Go to the tab Media of this "Page Info" window.
    Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.
    If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
