Joe Bowser commented on CB-9506: -------------------------------- I'm not fond of this feature, and if it's broken, I'm happy to kill this weird feature. > A user's photos can be deleted if they leave a cordova application using > cordova-plugin-camera > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-9506 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9506 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin Camera > Environment: Android > Reporter: Cody Balos > Labels: Triaged, android > > Currently, the camera plugin checks the number of pictures saved to the > device before any pictures are captured using the camera started via the > plugin, and then checks the difference between the amount of photos before > and after. Relying on this method introduces the possibility of deleting > photos a user takes outside the cordova started camera. For example, consider > this scenario: > A user of a cordova application utilizes a cordova-plugin-camera backed > camera feature , and while in the camera activity, switches to a different > application. While in this different application the user takes a photo. Now > the user returns to the cordova application, and is still in the camera > activity. They take the photo, and accept it. Now the cleanup process inside > cordova-plugin-camera begins, but, because of relying on the difference > between the amount of photos before and after the activity, the photo the > user took outside of the cordova application is deleted. > This issue exists already in the checkForDuplicateImage function, does have > the ill behavior from the above example. However, it is limited by its > implementation to removing no more than 2 of the photos taken outside of the > cordova application. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
