I want to categorize/reorganize the photos in my gallery. I feel like I've been all over the place in ASTRO, looking them, but I can't seem to find them. I see my downloads, and some other photo folders I've moved stuff to while plugged in to my computer, but not the photos I've taken with the camera.

I've checked /mnt/sdcard/dcim, but all it has are three directories: Camera (empty), Icons (empty) and .thumbnails (full of cryptic cache files). Same story at /sdcard/dcim (I think those two are symlinked).

Where are my photos?

If it makes a difference, I'm on an HTC Incredible.

edit

In my camera settings, it is set to save photos to the phone's memory, not my sd card.

Aha, found them!

/emmc/DCIM

Then most of them are in the 100MEDIA sub directory.

Your photos should be in the DCIM folder. I have an HTC EVo and all photos from my camera are in /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA/. I doubt this would help but maybe you should try another file manager.

Try taking a photo and then go to your DCIM directory to see if any new folders or images are there.

It looks like you solved your issue! Just so others have a method to help themselves if they get stuck i'm adding this to my answer:

If you can view any photos in HTC photo app you can long press on the photo and select the Details option. This should provide you with a File path

  • No luck. Same as /mnt/sdcard/dcim. I think the two are symlinked.

  • Yeah i figured as much but I thought it was worth a shot. Question: when you take a photo can you see it when you select the photo button next to the shutter button?

  • See the bottom part of my revised answer - that might help.
