Fuze V2 build 3.8 PHOTOS

Newbie Appreciates Clarification:
The Sansa Fuze V2 had a function to display photos and I have a directory of photos on my machine. But I do not find any way to display them from RB. Am I to assume that these can only be displayed if I boot into the Sansa software and display there? Just guessing as I've not found this addressed anywhere but the functionality of RB is limited to:
1. playing music: mp3's and all, with database functionality
2. Recording:
3. FM Radio (IF you have the fm radio plugin. Seriously doubt you can play FM on mine as there is no radio card ;D )

So, no video and no photos? Is this correct? Not knocking just want to define what I'm working with. Otherwise I appreciate RB's ability.
thanks

Thanks, that answers one part of the question. But as I don't find "image viewer" under plugins on the main menu of the sansa V 3.8 and no reference to where to download it. How do I get a copy?

But definitely thanks as at least I now know such a thing exists.

Post Merge: March 04, 2011, 04:30:20 PMok, so I read "Viewers are plugins which are associated with specific file extensions. They cannot be run directly but are started by “playing” the associated file. Viewers are stored in the /.rockbox/rocks/viewers/ directory" Interesting but I go in through files->PHOTO->My_Albums and find nothing though this is where I find the photos when I go in through the Sansa software. Perhaps my problem is that the SANSA filesystem isn't being read properly by RB. It does find the mp3's which are all on my sdhc but it's not showing anything on the internal memory "/".

Chronon:
Were the files added in MSC mode?  If you added them in MTP mode then they can end up in a not-obvious location.

Are music files stored in internal memory showing up in the database?

Yes, my main box is Suse/Linux and in order for the Sansa to be seen it has to be in MSC mode. But I believe you are referring to the photos? But in any case the device was in MSC mode and the directory /PHOTO/My_Album can be seen.

I have no music files in main memory. I decided early on to keep my music on the removable sdhc chip "/MUSIC/Music". But the photos are in main memory. Perhaps I should experiment and copy them from main memory to the sdhc.

Are there tricks/requirements that files be added in some order or the other?
