View Full Version : Where is it?! Lydecker 24-09-2002, 03:32 PM Please can someone tell me where (file structure wise) the tumbnail images for contacts are stored on the phone. Thanks J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 04:11 PM There are stored in: C:\Nokia\Images_tn\ Hope this helps. Lydecker 24-09-2002, 04:35 PM Hate to spoil the party, but they are not there. I have no images in this folder (I deleted them), but the when i go to contacts, all my contact images are still there. The phone saves a copy of the image somewhere - but where?

Thanks Perhaps it saves a copy of the image in your contacts. So your Contacts will be 1-2kb bigger for each entry with a TN They are originaly kept in the folder I mentioned Hence the name IMAGES_TN, TN as in ThumbNail Lydecker 24-09-2002, 05:05 PM No - My IMAGES_TN directory is empty. THE IMAGES STILL APPEAR WHEN SOMEONE CALLS me on the phone. TANKERx 24-09-2002, 05:07 PM The thumbnails for the Imaging application are stored in C:\Nokia\Images_Tn\ but the thumbnais for contacts are stored in the contacts database as part of the contacts data, just as it is with the 9200 series. Images attached to contacts, which are viewable by selecting a contact and moving the joystick to the right, are not stored in the database but are loaded from the Images folder when required. That's why when you delete an image, the large view vanished from a Contact, but the thumbnail stays where it is. To delete the contact's thumbnail, select the contact, Edit and then select 'Remove Thumbail'. J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 05:07 PM Sorry I mis-read your answer, See my edited possible answer. Lydecker 24-09-2002, 05:11 PM So a 2Kb (average) image is stored in my DataBase when I assign an image to a contact? J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 05:14 PM How many images do you have in your contacts? And how many (estimated) contacts do you have in your address book. Lydecker 24-09-2002, 05:15 PM Id say 30 contacts in the address book. 25 of which have a image attached. Why? J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 05:25 PM What size is your Contacts in KB? Lydecker 24-09-2002, 05:29 PM My Contacts in C:\system\Data is 113Kb My Contacts under App. Manager is 110Kb J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 05:32 PM To answer you question, Yes it does store a copy of the picture in your contacts. I have around 100 contacts, none of which have pictures attached. It takes up 53kb of space. You have less contacts than me but more than double the space. Lydecker 24-09-2002, 05:34 PM Excellent - thanks for clearing this up! Thank you Rafe 24-09-2002, 06:07 PM Sounds like a FAQ to me :) Rafe J2theIZZO 24-09-2002, 06:24 PM I'll add it to the list! :D |
