- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8696/) - F-Stop has some features like Smart albums, tags, ratings, etc...that requires it to keep a lit of all images in it's own database.

When playing around though I've seen that it doesn't make a difference, the slideshow stops regardless. I also went through old versions of the app on Aptoide; the last time it worked as expected was in Version 5.5.22
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8532/) - Are you talking about double tap or single tap? I am asking because you say "double tap" but in the Play Store review you said "tapping the screen" - which assumes single tap.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8510/) - First check whether Settings//Media Viewer//Best fit is enabled. If it is not please send the mentioned image to our support by email, so we can check. Does it also happen with other image formats (JPGs, ...)?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8506/) - Oh my goodness, you literally saved my life bro 😭😭😭 I REALLY needed this and it actually works perfectly well!! Both "AND" as well as "OR" its all I ever needed and really badly so thank you 😭😭😭
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8505/) - Put the keyword AND between the tags and should work. e.g. selfie AND beach There is also an OR operator. But sadly the rest of the search syntax is non-existent or un-documented. We users asked for a proper search syntax some years ago but nobody answers. (Like most forum entries)
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8500/) - Interesting that F-Stop reports resolution of embedded JPG to be 4200x3900px, however fails to display that resolution. This images are zoomed 200% you can clearly see the difference.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8494/) - Let me explain how folders in F-Stop work. First, F-Stop never deletes the actual folder. When you delete a folder it will only delete items in the folder and not actual folder. The reason for this is consistency, as if you have any file in the folder which is not shown by F-Stop (PDF for

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8490/) - This is by design (not a glitch). The fact is that some users actually use this "untagged" section, so they can quickly find untagged images and tag them. So it can not be removed for all users. On the other hand we have not added setting to remove it, as there is literally hundredths of

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8487/) - F-Stop now works like all the other apps. When you are in the middle of zoomed image you can not scroll to the next image. You can first scroll all the way to the right, lift the finger, wait for animation to settle and then scroll. Or just zoom out the image.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8482/) - That worked. Thanks a lot.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8481/) - This is pretty old version. You should update to latest version from Play Store (5.5.22 or 5.5.57). Then check and let me know whether you still have the same issue.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8480/) - Thanks for the quick reply. I use 5.3.27 and the app has files and media permissions.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8479/) - Which version of the app (F-Stop) do you have? Newer versions of Android will not let you select root of SD card when setting permission. However, on newer versions of the app you don't even have to set the permission, as F-Stop has access to all files. (assuming you did give him permission to access

So, if you add two different conditions they will use AND, so logically, both conditions must be true. There is currently no operator which would accomplish that. I should add something like "contains one of" and then you could separate EXPs with comma. I'll put this on our

Id rather have a drop down filter (known as quick filter in microsoft excel) where in one box you select what filter to use Tag, Rating etc in second box
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8459/) - Just use Smart Album then you can filter by many things.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8419/) - I have just tried reproducing your issue, but I can't. Using two letter tags works normally. Additionally, there is no reason why this wouldn't work, as F-Stop does not limit search to two characters. Even one character would work. Please contact our support to investigate this further.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8418/) - upvote Please add a proper search syntax with all the basic search operators that are common for decadea like + - * () and keywords/fields like date: tag: exif: file: dir: album: ... Plus: This should not only work in the search input box but also in the filter input box.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8416/) - I recently have been in contact with one of the FStop team (via e-mail). He assured that Fstop is still active and under development.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8409/) - There is no random order in F-Stop. You can randomize slideshow, but that's about it. In PRO version you can custom order images (not folders).
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8408/) - By default F-Stop stores tags in internal database. If you use "Save metadata" (for all images with added tags), then it will embed tags into images. In your case, you probably didn't do that. So hen you hid folders, F-Stop removed images from it's database (together with their tags). When you unhid them again, F-Stop

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8370/) - If I understand you correctly, this is security feature in F-Stop, you need to uncheck setting: "Settings->Security->Hide hidden folder on start"
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8368/) - Scan type could maybe have effect if it would be set to "Media store". If it is custom it should not. But I had to check. Getting tags back after missing images are back is due to the fact that tags are actually saved, and yes that is most likely due to Autosave. As for

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8365/) - Another thing I would like you to try. You said that when those images are removed from the list, and when they come back, tags are missing. So, can you please try this: pick one of the images that will be removed. Add a tag, save a tag to that image. Then go to Downloads
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8364/) - My first question would be what is your scanning type? You can find that under Settings->Main->Included folders Let me know that, and we'll continue from there.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8354/) - I don't really see a reason why this would be happening. I suggest you send our support a short video of exactly what you are doing, maybe there is something in your workflow...
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8346/) - The question is how you are moving those images. With F-Stop or with some other app? Have you "saved metadata" for all images before moving? If you have then "Revert to metadata on disk" for those images should get you tags back as they should be inside images.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8339/) - It took us a little bit, but we have released new app recently and plan to continue development on it, of course.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8338/) - I only now spot that the search does support the Title field, would Description be easy to add?

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8295/) - Well, what you can do is create smart album which contain images that do not contain tag with certain text. So, for example create smart album with condition: Tag Does not contain SOME_TEXT Now, depending on your tags, this may help you (if this certain text is not also part of some other tag).

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8278/) - Having the same problem as you referred on question 2, regarding the problem with having tags made on windows 10 not being recognized by the app on the phone, although the tags from fstop are recognized by apps on windows like XnviewMP. Did you get any solution for that?

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8271/) - I have always had the same issue, especially, obviously, when I have scanned old photos. Unless I missed a response with this information, it would be so much easier if Fstop would just tell us how they prioritize what metadata fields they use to sort by "date taken"; EXIF (dateTime), IPTC (Date Created), XMP (CreateDate).

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8257/) - I agree. I use a lot of Webp images and haven't found an efficient quality way of converting them on mobile. I have other apps that will play/animate them so it must be possible within the app.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8256/) - This absolutely should be implemented. Does anyone with Fstop ever read or comment on these threads? I'm new to the forum and have only searched for a couple desired features, and how too's.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8254/) - Bummer. Thanks for the info.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8253/) - Currently cloud images are not supported as much as local images, and they can be accessed only in the Cloud Services section. They can't be used in smart albums, All media, etc.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8249/) - Go to "Albums." Tap the "+" sign and then tap "New smart album." Beneath the field for "Smart album name," you should see a big gray button that says "ADD NEW CONDITION."
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8248/) - For some of those combinations, you could alternatively use the "Search" function using the Boolean "AND." Unfortunately, I don't think F-Stop supports the Boolean "NOT," so you wouldn't be able to get "Motorcycles" that don't have the "Transmissions" tag.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8243/) - Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. The only place where image names are written is database, which most likely you won't be able to access on your old device. It's located in the "/data/user/0/com.fstop.photo/files/FStop_PhotoAlbum" You can also try this path "storage/emulated/0/data/data/com.fstop.photo/files/FStop_PhotoAlbum" but I think you won't be able to access this file.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8238/) - I think you can do everything you need with smart albums. For example, you can have one album that has the condition that "Includes all" for the 2 tags "Motorcycles" and "Transmissions." Then to get "Motorcycles" that don't have the "Transmissions" tag, you'd need another album that contains 2 conditions: Condition 1: "Includes all" for

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8227/) - That's great to hear. Thanks On the other hand I want to say that folders are not always sorted by name. When I move pictures to a folder, destination folders are sorted (I assume) by the already set sort order.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8225/) - This is crazy. All of a sudden it works again and it seems I have write permission too. Or rather f-stop has. I've been at this for 24 hours. I didn't even try now, I just opened f-stop and all my folders on the SD-card were there. I'm happy it works now, but I sure
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8224/) - I use DSCloud to sync my photos with my Synology Diskstation. This (on older android versions) has to be stored in /android/data/com.synology.dscloud. The standard media scan does not have access to that.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8222/) - Thank you. Yeah, I realized that about having to open a sub folder and go back. I did give permission to the whole SD card once I had figured out how. The problem is worse now. All of a sudden I didn't see the folders on the SD card at all. So I went true
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8221/) - Which folder was it? As it seems it was not an ordinary folder (normal folders are usually accessible in all Android versions), maybe that can give me some clue.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8220/) - Initially this was not set to media store scanning, but did encounter this issue. I have tried testing with it but my photo folders are not in a location accessible for this android version. So I would then not have access and could not test. I have done a lot of tagging now back on
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8219/) - In that version we added possibility to use "Media Store scanning". Maybe that was enabled for you? If you are willing to try, you can maybe test whether changing scanning type under "Settings//Main//Included folders" makes any difference. For me it didn't.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8218/) - In nested folders, sort which you use is used for sorting images not folders. Folders are always sorted by name. This is one of the things we plan on improving.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8217/) - You do need to give access to root of your SD card. It won't work if you just give permission to individual folders. Oo some devices, this system dialog act a bit weird. When it's opened and it shows root of your SD card, it won't show you "OK" or "Use this folder" button.(or whatever
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8216/) - Thanks for letting us know it all went well. I will post here instructions for others how to move from one device to another. If you use only basic functionality of F-Stop, then you don't really need anything special, just copy images to another device and that's it. If you saved tags/ratings into images, F-Stop
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8214/) - I spoke too soon... The setting doesn't take. I can't delete files on the SD card. When I try f-stop gives me the dialogue about granting access to the SD card again. I do. Try to delete. Gets the dialogue... I just gave my camera app access to the SD card and it saves photos
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8213/) - Mea culpa. I had forgotten one needs to choose a folder on the SD card, instead of giving access to the whole SD card. Problem fixed.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8211/) - Well, if anyone's interested, it went well. 😉
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8205/) - Hello, an update for my side regarding this issue. It was driving me mad, I have tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. I have now gone back to v5.3.24 and disabled auto-update of the app. I have not encountered the issue so far, although may be it's too early to conclude it

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8200/) - If it works to Google drive and GMail it usually means that F-Stop does send correct data. What Dropbox app (I suppose you use Dropbox app for uploading) does with the data is out of F-Stop's control. Maybe you should contract them and see why they can't upload the image. Maybe they don't support custom

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8196/) - I'd say it has something to do with number of images, though it's hard to say. I know that rescanning 46000+ images is slow and tedious, but as I can not reproduce the issue, this will be hard to solve. I suggest maybe you could try downgrade couple of versions to find where the issue
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8195/) - Separation seems to be enough for me, as long as I can browse cloud images. The cloud does not need to be parsed for tags or "All Media", which would be a huge performance drawback using Webdav. What could be useful is moving from or to cloud. To be honest it's not the best solution
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8194/) - And to be clear; it does not happen all the time. Sometimes each edit, sometimes it works smoothly for 10 edits in a row.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8193/) - Now I was able to reproduce. - autosave is off - tagged 2 images and just confirmed by selecting the 'check' icon. So did not save metadata yet. - folder is now shown empty
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8192/) - I was set to 'custom scanning'. Is this a new setting? I have set it to 'media store', but in changing that setting all is rebuild. Which with 46000+ photo's takes more than a day. And I still had the same issue. When having it set to not autosave, I believe images disappeared after saving.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8191/) - To hide stars and heart and info you just simply long press on the image, to switch to full screen. You can also tap on left most icon in the image viewer and disable panels you don't need. As for 2 row grid (did you mean 2 column grid) you can use pinch gesture to
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8190/) - I have one question for all of you who miss WebDAV (or any other cloud service). Do you miss a lot functionality to mix local and cloud images or is separation (as is now in F-Stop) good enough?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8189/) - Under "Settings//Main//Included folders" do you see "Scanning type"? If you do, which option is selected? Does changing to other option makes any difference? Also, do I understand correctly, that even if you do not really save metadata, it will still not show folder? Even if you change just one image in a folder with ten
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8186/) - +1 I'm missing WebDAV so much.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8185/) - Actually the answer to all your questions is the same: because it hasn't been implemented yet. We have an endless todo list and it takes time to implement features. goran
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8184/) - No it is not intended behavior, but it is default behavior of Android. This gray overlay you are seeing is actually focus indicator. I will disable it in the next release.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8167/) - I'm kind of baffled how this isn't a feature yet. It has been years and we still only have logical operators to include photos but not exclude.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8149/) - Thanks for the update. Yes, like you noticed modification date is changed, which should be normal since file changed. And you can also sort by "Date taken", which still gives you correct order.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8148/) - We do plan to add more features to slideshow, but first we need to rewrite the whole image viewer part of the app, which is not small task.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8147/) - Sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8145/) - There is a setting: Settings->Media viewer->Keep screen on You should disable it
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/8144/) - Currently F-Stop can not move folders. You can, however, select all images in a folder and then protect all images in the folder a once. But you have to do this for each folder separately.

It seems that f-stop could not determine the creation date of these photos, hence it sorted only by modification

But I would like to say there is still a possibility to recover hidden files in Android mobile by using the ES File Explorer app. Yes, is an app which is available on

If I open a file from file explorer with f-stop, it actually displays that file. However I cannot swipe left or right to the next dng and dngs also do not appear in media /folder viewer inside f-stop app. Looks to

If you go to the next image, the duplicate, it is tiny occupying top left, less than 25% of the screen. Anyone got any idea how to fix it? Thank you
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7409/) - Having support in F-Stop itself would be nice, but as workaround, I can recommend FolderSync: That easily lets you sync files with your NAS. What I do is I create a sync in FolderSync for the pictures I want to tag, sync them to my phone, then do what needs to be done with F-Stop,
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7408/) - Well, you may of course multi-select pictures and then tag them all at once. That's what I do all the time. But I'd also like some easier workflow. I imagine a mode where the currently selected Tag Group is shown superimposed over the top of the picture, as a row (or several) of clickable tag
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7406/) - You could always create a Smart Album with condition "Rating" and select 3, 4, and 5 stars. It's only a few clicks, and once you set that up, you could even bookmark it for easy access.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7385/) - In Fstop, Cloud Services, Samba. I use it and it works well. When you only need to view photo's from shared folders, ES explorer can do that.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7359/) - The answer is to clear (untick) the Show Groups option.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7315/) - We are currently working on adding the cropping function. The edit option allows you to use any editor for things like cropping. It seems that the only valid editing app you have on your device is Quickpic. We do have the ability to change the view mode for the folder view.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7314/) - There is no option to set the time format. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I can see how this can be confusing/frustrating. We will put it this on our todo list.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7278/) - I'm using the F-Stop gallery since a few days now and it's great. The SMB/CIFS support seems to be implemented already and that's perfect when you're in your home network. I'm also working with a NAS. Though you can make Samba availbe to the outside world (e.g. VPN) it's not the best protocol for that

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7260/) - The top area you are referring to is what we call a header. We display it when grouping is enabled in the sort menu (default). It looks like you are sorting by "Name" and we are displaying the first letter of that group.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7185/) - Can some of the fstop developers reply to this topic? I took an effort to collect some related forum topics. All point into a direction that users have a need for a more powerful search syntax. Are you working on this?

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7182/) - Try creating a smart album. It will allow you to apply multiple filtering conditions including tag exclusions. For example, I had a folder of cartoons and other images with multiple tags. The smart album I created included one tag: cartoons and excluded both Simpsons and Family Guy.

Your password should be reset now, and when you enter "protected folders" you will be able to set your password.

It also has a webdav API. I'm hoping webdav is high on your feature list. F-Stop is a vital tool in my daily business operations. Please implement webdav support
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7153/) - I would like to add to this request. I would love to see a TimeHop-like feature that shows all pictures from a particular date regardless of year. For example, if you search through the app or within the calendar view for December 25, you would see all pictures from each year on this date.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7151/) - This is an issue in the latest release. We will fix in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7146/) - I did. As I remember, (but t's been awhile already), it had to do with the folder that was being scanned for the pictures. Theres a spot in fstop where you can either let it automatically figure out the folder, or change it. I pointed it directly to my SD card for the external folders,

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7138/) - You can do this by selecting an image inside the tag folder and selecting "Set as tag thumbnail" form the menu.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7114/) - Me, too! Pls. let us know, when it's included!
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7113/) - It's an old post but maybe this might help someone else. I had to restart my device after purchasing/installing the Pro Key before it took effect. Maybe that might work for you.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7112/) - The Quick Links a.k.a Bookmarks. The novel and unique features of F-Stop. 1) Please add "custom order" function for this feature. 2) Or turns it into a kind of "View", just like Folder or Albums view; so the folders or bookmarks could be customized. Lockdown.

It worked beautifully and I am very grateful to have found fstop. I've been looking for this app for some time and, like no other, it suits my needs.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7103/) - Flat and nested folders are still folders as you know them but we just display them differently. For the flat folder view, we only display folders with images in them so you would only see them in the nested view. Add an image to the folder and it will show up in both views.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7102/) - Sorry, still no batch renaming. You can back up your albums in the album view from the menu. Unfortunately, it does not save the custom order at this time.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7101/) - If you long press on the list of views in the folder drawer, you can customize the navigation drawer by hiding or rearranging them. You can also get there in Settings>Navigation drawer>Customize.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7100/) - Long-press to select the image and select the tag icon. At the top you will see an option to "Search or add tag". Tap there and type in your tag name. Tap the "+" icon next to the tag to add it.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7096/) - Just to clarify, currently I have to go through the following sequence to update the image description: Press menu icon -> details -> scroll down -> press edit description icon. Would be great to have this pencil icon straight on menu bar. Am using this function a lot these days.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7093/) - HI there, Has batch renaming been instituted? (And if so how do I access it?) I want to be able to copy a smart album from my samsung tablet to my wife's and it is setting the custom order that is the most time consuming part of creating the album as it is quite large.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7090/) - I am having same problem with you and I have lost a lot of images before I realized that its the same file only appearing twice in the thumbnail. I hope this will be resolved soon.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7086/) - Just wanted to say I love the ability to edit the image description that has recently been added! I hope you can add a button on the (tablet) main viewer to access it easier, just like the tag editor. Now it's a bit hidden.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7084/) - Would like to request this as well. Even nested folders that have images inside assign a thumbnail randomly and would really like to be able to set custom thumbnails for nested view just like regular album view.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7077/) - I am stuck on this issue as well. In my case, I believe f-stop was interrupted during an initial scan of around 30,000 images on the sd card. Now I can only successfully search for metadata on the images that were processed before the interruption. I am also hesitant to uninstall/reinstall f-stop due to previous

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7071/) - Actually we are working on exiv2, but the process of implementing it into F-Stop will most likely be in steps. Step one will probably be just replacing current library for writing JPGs. Next we will extend it to more formats, etc.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7070/) - This is on our todo list.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7069/) - We also do cache left and right images, however in lower resolution. That's because of memory constraints. Not all devices have a lot of memory. However, since this was implemented, devices have become more powerful, and we do plan to improve this.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7068/) - Yes, this is planned. But our todo list is huge, so can't make any promises on when it will be implemented.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7067/) - What exactly do you want to achieve? If you open navigation drawer on the left side, there is "Ratings" entry. If you click that you can open images rated with 1 star, 2 stars ,etc. Also, you can use ratings in Smart albums combined with other conditions. Is there anything else you want to achieve?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7066/) - Currently there isn't a way to do this. But we are working on it and most likely we will add this in the next major release.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7063/) - Yes, it is really annoying that so much apps destroy exif and iptc data - without any warning. I use 'Photo Editor' from iudesk.com (DevMacgyver). It preserves image meta data and you can create edit and remove meta data.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/7062/) - Why has nobdy from the fstop team answered that question? It seems to be the case that the fstop search does not understand a NOT or - (minus) operator? I consider this a basic and essential feature of a search function.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6908/) - You need to change the number of columns / rows per page for landscape and portrait separately.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6837/) - Yes, tags can be removed as well. Go to the tag view and select the menu item "Edit tags" like hoplitas explained. Once there you will see a list of all your tags. You can then select "Remove unused tags" from the menu in that view. http://www.fstopapp.com/tutorial/#tags

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6831/) - Please use setLastModified() to preserve the file timestamp after copying.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6830/) - Since Move is the most frequently used operation, I now have to tap Copy/Move, then Move - one extra tap for each photo. I'd prefer Copy and Move to be separate menu items, and if the list of menu items is deemed too long, some less frequently used items can be grouped together.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6829/) - That orange circle is for Offline Media.

BTW, F-Stop isn't the only app guilty of this - Samsung's Gallry, QuickPick and others also, strangely, copy files instead of moving. A nasty side-effect of updating the timestamps is that

F-Stop just looks at your storage devices like all other apps if you were thinking that the images were stored in F-Stop somehow.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6643/) - Oh, nice, didn't spot that! Thanks. I suppose I just assumed a checkmark was for selecting the image and didn't try it.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6642/) - To protect an image, start selection mode by long pressing a thumbnail, select the images you want to protect and select "Protect media" from the menu. I don't understand the subfolder in the protected folder answer. Is this working for you?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6641/) - Hello, This is fixed in the latest version (v4.4.1). Please let us know if you have further issues.

Please update to the latest version (currently 4.4.1) and then select the "Switch view" option in the menu. This will allow you to select the folder using our nested view which allows selection of empty folders.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6626/) - Found the answer! You HAVE to put a sub-folder in the protected folder before it will work! All now works.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6622/) - Hello, We have "Included folders" in Settings>Main. By default it is empty which signifies that all folders are included. Adding a folder changes it so we only look at the included folders list. That is true, we do not have a way to protect an entire folder. It is something on our todo list, though.

Folders in F-Stop are actual file system folders on your device and F-Stop does not currently support renaming folders

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6381/) - We consider a folder empty when it contains no file formats that F-Stop supports. There could still be other files in the folder which is why we just delete the supported formats and not the folder when you select to delete a folder. See this: http://www.fstopapp.com/tutorial/#folders
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6380/) - Yes, that is an issue with video files. Sidecar files would be the easiest way to ensure compatibility but we currently only support tags and ratings. Another option would be THM files that are often associated with videos. They are basically just a JPG file with a THM extension and the same name as the

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6378/) - It is possible and on our to-do list. They are very useful and I use them myself. The Metadata Working Group also has a specification that I prefer more: http://www.metadataworkinggroup.com/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf I suppose we would investigate both when we implement.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6377/) - Thanks for posting the answer here. The best way to handle this is to write the ratings to the image or to a sidecar file. We support writing both tags and ratings to JPGs and sidecar files. This is a PRO feature that allows the organizational data to be portable outside of F-Stop.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6376/) - I think this probably has to do with your settings in Settings>Main>Included folders and Settings>Excluded>Folders. Can you send me what those are?

I saw the 5/8 post to Rosa about a beta version, but try not to use a beta until it’s stable. How soon will it be good to use?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6366/) - I would also like to add my voice to this request. What I think would be the nicest/most flexible way to do this is to let the user pick one or more metadata fields (maybe up to 3) that they want to expose for editing (this would be a global setting, not image-by-image). Then, perhaps

This leads to removing of all images and their information of the database. Offline usage and writing meta data into files will prevent the software from doing that. Bad luck for me. Or is there a way to restore

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6294/) - So I figured out a workaround to save my metadata to my photos that were tagged while on the sd card. It seems that going to "update metadata" in the menu, then selecting all and using the move function to move the photos to the internal memory will also save the tags into the photos.

Regardless if that is still the case, purchasing this app is a no brainer in my
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6287/) - I think you could use tags and then create albums based on the tags. As long as you save your meta data to disk it will embed the tag in the photos and they should be there forever . it uses standard tags so they are recognized in programs that use them on a PC

See this thread: http://www.fstopapp.com/forum/topic/unable-to-save-metadata-problem/ I still don't understand how some images on the SD card were deleted and others weren't. Can you confirm you are still having issues? Perhaps these files are marked as read only?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6240/) - Yes, I see the issue. We will fix this.
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6239/) - I don't think I understand the issue. If you can select a child folder than why can't you select the parent? Can you provide an example? Perhaps you do not have the parent in the Included Folder list?
- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6238/) - I'm not sure how this slipped by me but I am sorry for the delayed response. There are a couple of things that need to fall into place first but we do plan to provide RAW support.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6160/) - Hello, Sorry for this issue. Once F-Stop sees the storage empty and then sees files again it starts a new scan and albums and unsaved metadata are lost. Please try using "Offline mode" in Settings>Main so that F-Stop remembers files during these events.

- [](https://www.fstopapp.com/forum/reply/6156/) - Hello, Yes, this is an issue with standard albums. Once the original file gets moved, we have no way of knowing where it went. I would suggest using smart albums using conditions such as specific tags or ratings to keep the albums organized. Also keep in mind that if you use sidecar files, external programs

Couple of notes: * you need to copy files using F-Stop (which has access to that folder) or built in file manager which can save files anywhere * since folder "/Android/data" usually has ".nomedia" in it, you'll need to add folder "/Android/data/com.fstop.photo" to

You will need to put your media here: /Android/data/com.fstop.photo If it isn't for some reason, you need to use a file browser that has write permissions to the SD card.
