Ovi Suite duplicating photos

Hi,
I have Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42 installed and I have a N86 8MP phone. When I click on sync for the photos it copies over photos that are already on the PC (the files get renamed with [1], [2] etc on the end). I take it this shouldn't happen, how do I stop it?
Thanks

Ovi Suite and photo management troubles

Hello there,
I've recently installed the Ovi suite to transfer my holiday photos to my mobile phone.
However upon first launch it started to search my pictures folder for photos and automatically added them to the ovi library. so after a little research i've found out that it should be save to "delete" the photos from be ovi library.
and here are my actual questions:
1. why does it add photos without asking the user?
2. why does deleting or adding photos take ages? (about 20min for 19GB on a decent laptop)
2a) does it store a copy of the files somewhere?
2b) why do the two related processes take up 50% of cpu usage for adding or deleting files?
3) why doesn it it sync the photos from the pc to the mobile when i hit the "sync photos" button?
4) how can i transfer albums that have been created in ovi suit to my mobile, in a way that the album is browsable as such on my phone?
i hope someone can enlighten me,
kupetzky

Hey,
This may not b d complete reply u r looking for, n this is what i knw frm this forum
1) Open Nokia Ovi Suite > Tools > Options > Photos > Photos folder location - This can be changed as per ur wished location
2a) It is stored in ur pc(it wud b gud, if u can share ur pc details so that ppl will inform, where ur database file for ovi is getting stored)
2b) what r d 2 process u r talking here? (is it NokiaMServer n NokiaAserver or NokiaOviSuite.exe if yes, there r already few discussions happened related to these processes need while running Nokia ovi Suite)
3) i m bit confused on ur query, AFAIK, photos sync in Nokia Ovi Suite is one way - i.e. ur phone's photo can b synched from phone to ur pc thru Nokia Ovi Suite and not vice versa, u can't sync ur pc's photo to ur phone thru Nokia Ovi Suite via SYNC, but there r ways like drag n drop, Windows Xplorer kind of, u can read in related posts of this Nokia ovi suite
2a & 4) i dont hav any suggestions currently as i hav nt tried these
Hopefully rest of forum members will share their views too, as i did....

Ovi Suite modifying photos

Hi,
Is Ovi suite meant to modify every photo on my computer?
I installed it today and found that my computer was running really slow. After a couple of hours of this I realised that it was scanning every photo under My Pictures (about 50GB of them). I don't really want to sync these with my phone, so I gather there's no point in having Ovi suite scan them. I went through the menu (Tools->Options->Photos) and changed the photos folders location to stop this (it required a few restarts, but it stopped scanning).
All the photos it had already scanned were sill in the photos tab of Ovi suite so I deleted them. I then tried to delete them from the "Deleted photos" section (without deleting them from the hard drive) but this again started thrashing my hard drive and was taking a very long time.
I went to look at my photos and noticed the the modified time on a lot had changed (I sometimes use the last modified time to order my photos). What has been modifying my photos!!
I compared one of the photos with a backup and they look the same but there are differences in the actual file data.
Here is an example
Original image: http://www.alintech.com.au/IMG_1337-orig.jpg
OviSuite modified: http://www.alintech.com.au/IMG_1337.jpg
Why is Ovi Suite modifying all my photos?

Nokia's official response is to use PC suite.
Hi Wilson,

Ovi Suite / Nokia Photos Tag editing

I added a tag to 788 photos. That was easy :-)
Now comes the hard part, figuring out how to remove the tag for all these files in one go, as I did a typo.
I can figure out how to select them all and add new tags but I can't figure how how to delete a tag on all files without opening each individual file.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

D'oh!
It's actually quite simple to remove the tags:
Select the files:
Edit / batch Edit / Content or Location Tags
Remove the tag you don't like
Ok
My problem was I had selected one file that I had manually removed the tag from, so the wrong tag did not appear as a common tag to remove anymore :-)

Ovi Suite 2.0 no photo view in grid mode

Hi I have the latest Ovi Suit and I am connecting my 5800 music express. Once the photoes are synched with my computer only a small version of the actual images is imported (3KB per image). I am sure that the version on the phone is about 550KB in size. Also when I come to view the images in view thumbnails no preview is avalable of the images. The low res picture comes visible only in vew single photo mode.
Is this a software bug or do I have some wrong settings ?
Regards
Rodrick Borg
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry for this mess. There was a bug in the photo import from some devices that has now been fixed but the damage done by those faulty imports does not correct itself in the database.
The safest way to re-import the photos is to do it manually, that way you will know what has changed.
Open Ovi Suite and connect your device (preferably with USB, BT also works but it will take longer).
Go to the photos view and check from the device view (select from lower left pane titled "Photos in <device name>" the "All" folder) that your images are visible there.
For each image you want to restore, go to the PC view (select from upper left pane titled "Photos" the "All" folder) and find the corresponding image on the PC. If you can't see thumbnails for the images on the PC then you will have to find the correct thumbnail by checking the filenames that appear on mouse roll-over or by left-clicking and selecting "Properties".
Delete the image from the PC view (press DEL key, left-click and selecte "Delete" or drag and drop to the "Deleted photos" folder). Note that this doesn't actually delete anything, it just prevents the image being shown in Ovi Suite.
Select the "Deleted photos" folder from the upper left pane
Select the image you just deleted and delete it again. Be sure to choose "Yes" when asked if you want to delete the file from the computer.
Now you can manually import the image from the phone.
Select the photo from the device view (from lower left pane titled "Photos in <device name>", "All" folder)
Drag and drop the image on the "All" folder of the PC navigation pane (upper left pane)
You should see a progress bar for the import and the thumbnail and correct image should then be available in the PC.
Once you get the idea of what to do you can also use multi-select (Ctrl-click) to delete and re-import serveral images at a time.
Hope this helps.

OVi Suite 2.0 problem - Watching Photos/Music usin...

Hi,
I have a problem trying to create watch folders for my OVI Suite.
I'm trying to add watch folders for my photos and music (all which are in an external HDD) and whenever i try and select a folder from my external HDD it won't let me click on 'OK'.
I'm trying to get my music and audio synced into my Nokia N97 (with Firmware v1.2). But i am sure that is not an issue, as i tried doing this with the phone unplugged.
So does anyone have any ideas why it's not lettigin me add watch folders from my external HDD?
I have OVI Suite v2.0.1.35 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Yes, unfortunately this is functionality. In the short term I can have the design changed so that you will get instructions or a message of some kind explaining the situation, but the actual problem cannot be fixed that quickly.

Well, it's been over a year and it doesn't look it's been changed (and no instructions or message, either, that I could see). Anyone have an update on this? My music folder is over 12 gb and I had ot move it off to an external hard drive because my computer was nearly out of room.

Moving photos from Ovi suite

Can someone please explain in simple terms how I can move all my photos from Ovi suite to a flash drive or direct to "My Pictures" on my computer?
If I simply uninstall Ovi suite, what will happen to the photos stored on it?

Hey,
Ppl who have already used Nokia Photos application might have came acrss this scenario. AFAIK this is how its supposed to wrk. Bcause earlier i used Nokia Photos.
The following is wht i thnk.
The photos that r syncd already with ur Nokia Ovi Suite, might be getting strd in some database, where whenver any new photos r gttng synchd, it wll compare this, if this has been synched earlier, if so, it will not sync those photos again. This may b designed to avoid duplicates and redundancy. This i faced earlier when i was using Nokia Lifeblog(PC application) and Nokia Photos. If u google, u may find similar issues in our discussion forum.

Ovi Suite 2 always crash while inside "Photos"

I notice it does not crash immediately but always crash after I start to move scroll up/down button while insides the Photos thumbnail view. But it seems to be OK if I scroll up/down while OviSuite is displaying the thumbnails from the phone.
Setting the app to WinXP SP3 or Vista SP2 compatibility mode do not help at all. Same problem with or with the phone connected to the OviSuite.
Running Win7, 64bit version.

Ovi Suite folder naming format on photo sync?

When I want to sync my photos on my n900 onto my PC, it now dumps everything taken within the same month into the same folder.
How do I change the folder naming convention/format, for example if I want everything taken today to be in its own folder as opposed to being mixed in with photos taken last week?
This is a problem now because I use my N900 for photo taking a lot and the folder naming format does not match what I have always used in the past and continue to use with my regular digital camera.
This was always an option in PC Suite, but doesn't appear to be an option in Ovi Suite, unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

The problem is that it's creating totally new folder directories and the naming format of the folder is not the way I have all my other photos organized.
My other photos are arranged in folders by the day they were taken. Ovi Suite creates one new folder for each month and then drops everything from that month into that folder.
For example:
My Pictures/2010_07_19 -- this is the format I have all of my other photos from other cameras created when I transfer photos from them to my computer.
My Pictures/N900/2010-07 -- this is the format that Nokia Ovi Suite is creating for me and there's no way that I see that I'm able to change the naming convention to match what the rest of all my photos are. Everything taken this month would drop into that same folder, which is too difficult to keep organized.
Am I just missing something as to how I can change the naming convention of the folder when syncing via Ovi Suite?

Ovi suite crashes when opening the "Photos" Panel

Whenever i try to open the "Photos" Panel Ovi Suite crashes. I'm thinking it may have to do with it trying to index all of my videos, so i removed the "My Videos" folder from the watchlist, but it still crashes. I think maybe i need to delete it's cache, but have no idea how.
