Allow photo sync from specific source folders,
So external storage can be used
And different apps store photos in different folders
Thanks |

and thus retain the very useful feature in photo sync
of data dependent subfolders which is not available
with raw file sync |

Photos taken by the cellphone and stored on the external storage are being synced.
For all the other options you seek, you have to create a sync-job for the multisync function of the MPE. |

Hello,
I'd like to bump up the question, it would be great to have possibility to add manually some folders to be treated as photo folders. Today apart from photos taken with camera I find the need to download screenshots (both from Android and some apps), multimedia messages from WhatsApp, and some more. Of course creating a separate sync tasks is a way, however hassle with manual distribution of the files to respective subfolders on my PC is so big, that I actually try to move all pictures/photos into DCIM/Camera folder and use photo-ync of MPE, which flawlessly distributes all the files to subfolders of creation date.
It seems that already today there are multiple paths being searched by default (hard coded in MPE), since both Android phones I have use different folder tree to store camera files, so I hope that it wouldn't be too difficult to allow adding a path.
Kind regards! |

This functionality is already in the MPE implemented.
Just create a Sync-Job for every folder you need. |

As described above Sync-Job is a folder based task (folder to folder) and is missing the feature available in photo-sync - automatic generation of subfolders based on the photo date as written in post #2 in this thread:
Zitat: | and thus retain the very useful feature in photo sync
of date dependent subfolders which is not available
with raw file sync |
For me I find it as crucial to use that feature as I'm using date-based folders for organizing my photos - current workaround is to move interesting content into DCIM/Camera and use photo-sync, as that still saves loads of manual work on PC. |

Hi @icke1954, I wonder if you managed to get any feedback from FJ, but I assume that this feature is not in the pipeline for development? |

I am of the opinion that it is not without reason that FJ has fixed the selection of photo folders and has already expanded them in some cases.
The individual selection probably causes problems that cannot be easily solved. |

Can't tell myself, but probably it is some effort to code extra interface/options/dialogue to enable that, and later feed the engine with config data. I would even be happy with "backdoor" solution, with some text file etc.
Currently for my standard photo-sync task I need to do the following:
1) Have a dummy 101ANDRO forlder in \DCIM
2) Move screenshots there
3) Move WhatsApp videos
4) Move WhatsApp photos
5) Move Textra attachments
6) Move collage photos
7) Sync in MPE
Reverse steps 2-6 so the apps are not missing data. |
