You can customize certain aspects of removable devices. The following options may need to be changed depending on the characteristics of your device.
Use temporary folder during viewing: If this option is checked, then FotoAlbum will copy the file to a temporary folder when the thumbnail is being generated. This makes viewing the picture much faster and will speed up the process of adding them to albums or groups. However, it does require that your drive that has your temporary folder have enough free space to use this feature. FotoAlbum does purge these temporary copies when FotoAlbum exits.
Auto-detect thumbnails: If this option is checked and your device produces thumbnails along with the full-sized image, FotoAlbum will use the thumbnail files for displaying the images. Images will NOT be copied into a temporary folder if your device has these "parallel" thumbnail images. The original image file is copied when you add the image to an album or group.
Skip files less than (KB): This option allows FotoAlbum to ignore any image files that are smaller than a certain size. Certain devices have additional images for photo management which you may not want to always see. This is useful for filtering out the unwanted "clutter". Thumbnails are also good examples of files that you would want to not display (otherwise you would end up with two images being displayed). Checking this option does NOT disable the auto-detection and use of thumbnail images if they are available.
Picture sub-folder: Any pictures that are copied from this device will be added to the sub-folder within your picture folder that you specify. The file formatting codes can be used to automatically create folder names based upon the year, month, etc.
Filename format: This is the format the the filename will be created. Currently all removable devices use the filename portion from the device. The file from a device will be copied to the picture sub-folder with the filename that matches what is on the device (unless it is a duplicate).
