add photos to iPhone simulator

Question

I need than on button click opens iPhone's default album and I'll can chose a photo.

I read a lot about this, but still don't works. I do the following:

1. ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ I'm storing two pictures IMG_0000.JPG (300 on 300 px) and IMG_0000.THM (75 on 75px)
2. In my app I do the following on button click:

- (IBAction) btnOpenAlbum
  {
      album = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
      album.delegate = self;  

      album.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

      [self presentModalViewController: album animated:YES];
  }

I tried also UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoAlbum and still no photos in album.

AI solved it in such a way:

• Opened iPhone simulator.
• Drag there photos. And it automatically copy it to folder ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.1/Media/DCIM/100APPLE and named them as IMG_0001.PNG IMG_0002.PNG and so on.

After that all works fine, but: When I tried to copy item directly to that folder, and give them suitable names, iphone didn't recognized them. And also, when I deleted them from that folder and run simulator - photos where on simulator, but in folder they were not.

What it can be? Thanx.
