LousyJohnny opened a new issue #475: On Browser, camera.getPicture({DestinationType.FILE_URI}) returns base64image data
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/475
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   I expected the URI of the selected image 
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   I get a lengthy string of base64 encoded data
   
   
   ## Information
   The code below displays something like 
   - "content://media/external/....." when deployed on android
   - tens of KB of "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD..."  when running on browser platform
   
   ```
     camOptionLibrary: CameraOptions = {
       sourceType: this.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
       mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
       destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
       encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
     };
   
   
     private selectPic() {
       this.camera
       .getPicture(this.camOptionLibrary)
       .then((photo) => {
         console.log(photo);
         this.base64image = photo;
         this.showErrorAlert('uri', photo);
       }).catch((error) => {
         console.log("error");
         console.log(error);
         this.showErrorAlert("Photo impossible", "Impossible d'accéder a la galerie");
       });
     }
   ```
