[jira] [Closed] (CB-10033) new resizable cropping rectangle instead of Apple's standard square

["jcesarmobile (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10033?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

jcesarmobile closed CB-10033.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing as the PR, it fits better in a separate plugin that just handles the cropping part and can take the image url from camera plugin or any other.

>          Components: cordova-plugin-camera
>         Environment: iOS

> On iOS there's only that very insufficient inflexible cropping square – compared to Android or WinMobile – which moreover obviously doesn’t work properly (see CB-9930, CB-2648).
> As we need a flexible, sizable rectangle, we implemented that in our fork of the camera plugin.
> And with that we even already submitted a [pull request|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/131].
> (being very new to Cordova we didn’t realize, that there obviously has to be such a JIRA issue, before).
> To be downward compatible and to not urge others, for whom that square may be sufficient, it is made parametrizable via a new preference (as this is iOS specific and nothing that has to be changeable at runtime), defaulting to false.
> If the plugin is called with option allowEdit == true, then setting this new preference to true suppresses that standard (fairly useless) square for cropping the photo, even suppresses the (then also useless) view of the photo with the "Retake"- and "Use Photo"-buttons, but instead offers a resizable cropping rectangle (with "Redo" and "Save“).
> More detail about how it’s implemented can be found in the comment of the mentioned pull request;
> and as there already started a discussion, I added more detail and thoughts [here|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/131#issuecomment-156117731] and [here|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/131#issuecomment-156988289].
> We think others could use and want that, too – in the standard plug in.
> Yes, it is platform specific, but on Android and WinMobile it’s already possible to crop with a flexible rectangle (somehow – knowing, that Android also isn’t really satisfying).
> I also emailed dev@cordova.apache.org with a [proposal|http://callback.markmail.org/thread/5bjkv4ukymo6ybot].
