ovimaxxx opened a new issue #337: Photo automatically saved also on card DCIM/Camera folder
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/337
 
 
   I am creating a project where i take pictures and store them on device + show them in lists. i have some issues because the photos taken are automatically saved on the card in DCIM/Camera folder even though i don't do that.
   this.cameraOptions = {
             quality: 75,
             destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
             encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
             sourceType: this.camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
             mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
             saveToPhotoAlbum: false
           }
   this is the code for taking a photo and moving in either to dataDirectory or in card app private folder:
   
   public takePicture(){
     		return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
               let file_name='IMG_'+(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000))+'.jpg';
               let file_location=this.platform.is('android') ? (this.helper.general_settings['store_external'] && this.helper.general_settings['externalDirectory'] ? this.helper.general_settings['externalDirectory'] : this.file.dataDirectory) : this.file.dataDirectory;
               this.helper.showLoading();
               this.camera.getPicture(this.cameraOptions).then((imageData) => {
                   let sourceDir=imageData.substring(0,imageData.lastIndexOf('/') +1);
                   let sourceFileName=imageData.substring(imageData.lastIndexOf('/') +1,imageData.length);
                   this.file.moveFile(sourceDir,sourceFileName,file_location,file_name)
                   .then((fileDone:any) => {
                       resolve({'file_name':file_name, 'file_location':file_location });
                   }).catch(error => {
                       reject(error);
                       //console.log(error);
                   });
               }, (err) => {
                   reject(err);
                   console.log(err);
               });
           });
     	}
   
   the idea is that the same photo is saved automatically also on card DCIM/Camera (outside the application on the system the base location of saving pictures is on the memory card) - getPicture i know it saves to the temporary folder and from there i move it to where i need to be (this happens when i accept the photo after i see the snapshot and i am redirected back to my application, so the accept feature triggers it to be saved in 2 places). the photo which is saved to DCIM/Camera i don't see it when i open the gallery, but i see it when i navigate the card folders, so saveToPhotoAlbum does not help here. is there a setting not to save it at all, only on the temporary folder?
