Package: cheese
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: important
The current version of cheese in squeeze faces a problem which renders
it nearly unusable: if you take photos or videos with it, you don't
know where they are stored and can't find these information.
With a bit of research, I found that these files are stored in
~/.gnome2/cheese/media which is not a user-friendly place.
Gnome Cheese FAQ [1] says that cheese will use XDG-directories to
store photos and videos, but are these XDG-directories specified
in Debian? And how can a user change them?
[1] http://live.gnome.org/Cheese/FAQ#Where_does_cheese_store_my_photos.3F
ps: bug #556735 tells the opposite with cheese creating a ~/Webcam
directory to store photos+videos, I don't know why we have different
program behaviours
