[GitHub] [cordova-plugin-camera] kryops opened a new issue #671: Windows UWP: Different URL type for DestinationType.FILE_URI when using PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

kryops opened a new issue #671:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/671


   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   When specifying `DestinationType.FILE_URI`, the URL types on Windows UWP are different for images captured by the camera than they are for images selected from the hard drive.
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   The URLs returned by this plugin should have the same type independent of the picture source.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   * `Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA` => `ms-appdata:///local/CCapture.jpg`
   * `Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM` => `blob:ms-appx://<APPID>/<GUID>`
   
   ## Information
   
   Before 5.0.0, we used `Camera.DestinationType.NATIVE_URI` on Windows UWP, which would return URLs similar to what `Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA` does. However, this destination type was removed in https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/637
   
   With 5.0.0, the best workaround I could come up with was patching `CameraProxy.js`:
   
   ```
   const newContent = fileContent.replace(
     /successCallback\(URL\.createObjectURL\(storageFile\)\);/g,
     "successCallback('ms-appdata:///local/' + storageFile.name);"
   );
   ```
   
   Is there a reason why the Blob URLs were chosen as `FILE_URI` for Windows UWP? Could they be replaced by the URLs formerly returned for `NATIVE_URI`?
   
   Note: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/668 seems to already change this behavior
