Help Camera app saving to 2 locations randomly

It's driving me nuts. I am using vignette as my camera app (good app).

Can someone please tell me the difference between /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/dcim/camera and
/sdcard/external_sd/dcim/camera

Those are the 2 locations it's saving to. No rhyme or reason to it either. It irritates me because there are 2 folders in my gallery too.

When I browse to EITHER of those locations in ES, they are identical, there are 1084 items.

But when I view in gallery. One location has 1050 and the other has 24.

Is it the app?
My sd card?
The file system?

Grr... Help.
 
Use a different camera app and see if it puts the pic in 2 places. If it doesn't then its the app which I'm guessing it is..

If it does than see if u have two galleries... If not maybe try freezing one of your camera apps see if that fixes it

The default/stock camera app always seems to save to the /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/dcim/camera

If you guys look at your photos in the Gallery and view the details, do you show the /mnt/sdcard/...... or just /sdcard/.... ?

I am leaning towards contacting the app dev the more I troubleshoot it. 2 libraries just irritates me.
