This is driving me crazy.
I organise all my photos by folder (2011/Beach, 2001/Surfing, etc), and often I like to sequence them as well - usually by renaming the files in order (eg. Beach01, Beach02), etc.
So - I gave up on iOS5 albums when I realised it still wouldn't give me any workflow; I couldn't actually MOVE the photos from the Camera Roll to the album, so I'd still have to spend time sorting out the camera roll at some point. So I started looking for offline photo managers - something to download photos from the Camera Roll to the app, sort, edit, rename, organise in folders... and then sync them back to my PC for archiving.
However - not one app does this. They seem to be broken into 2 camps:
- Offline Photo Managers, that organise the photos on your phone, but can't sync them back (ie. no Dropbox/etc)
- Dropbox syncing tools, that stream/sync your Camera Roll to Dropbox, but don't let you organise them.
I've tried some of the best-rated apps for this: MyPics, Photo Manager Pro, Secret Folder, Web Albums, Photopod... none actually provide me everything to automagically get my photos off the iPhone onto a desktop.
