Managing photos in WP8.1 - many questions!
Long-time user of Windows Phone (ever since the first Samsung Focus), and I've been having some issues handling photos with my Lumia 735.
(All photos are stored by default on 32 GB SD card)
Any help with the below will be hugely appreciated.
1. Incorrect date:
Photos from the camera roll will randomly be categorized by incorrect months in the Photo apps. Pictures taken in August will display as being taken in July, and so on.
Every time this happens, I copy the contents of the SD card onto PC, format the SD card, re-transfer all onto it, and the dates will be in correct order. A couple of months in, I'll take a photo and... incorrect date again. Any clue what's going on and how I can fix it?
2. Photo files:
I have "living images" enabled.
When I look at my camera roll folder via PC USB connection, I see several files for each photo. One is a standard JPG, one is an mp4 (the living image video), and there are a couple of other weird extensions.
Does anyone know what these additional files are?
Some days ago, trying to solve the above date issue, I moved all these additional file types onto my PC, leaving only the JPG's. Now all my photos are listed as "older photos" - not listed by month anymore.
Is there any way to manage photo backups easily?
If I want to move all photos older than 6 months from camera roll to PC, is there a way to do this easily? Does the WP PC App move all the weird files along with the JPG?
Sorry for the long post. It's just becoming a bit annoying. My partner has the same phone, and she's much less of a techie than I am, so all I hear is frustration at WP8.1 and how she wants to change to a Droid =/
