[SOLVED] Camera: location of the saved images?

strekazoid

I'm trying to implement a simple camera app that snaps picture and saves it locally:

@Camera {
id: camera
x: 0
y: 0
anchors.fill: parent
focus: visible //to receive focus and capture key events
captureResolution : "640x480"

        flashMode: Camera.FlashAuto
        whiteBalanceMode: Camera.WhiteBalanceAuto

        onImageCaptured : {
            captureButton.text = "Captured"
        }

        onImageSaved: captureButton.text = "Saved!"



    }

    Button {
        id: captureButton
        x: 130
        y: 506
        text: "Capture"

        SoundEffect {
            id: captureSound
            source: "cameraappCapture1.wav"
        }

        onClicked: {
            captureSound.play()
            camera.captureImage()


        }
    }@

With this I'm able to launch the camera and snap some pictures. It seems that those pictures are saved somewhere; but I can't see them in the Phone Gallery app. Where are they going?

Also that sound effect doesn't play any sound for me, even though I have copied the file locally to the same folder where the QML files are.

If you are developing for symbian did you check app private folder (QCoreAppplication::applicationDirPath()) ?

Also onImageSaved() has a string parameter, any clue from that?

String parameter is path where camera image was saved.

Thanks for the hints!

Seem that camera is always saving image to c:\Data\Images\Image.jpg. This is kind of a problem, especially if you take multiple images. Is there any way to configure path for saving images?

Briefly looking at the documentation, you cannot configure path for saving images.

You should be able to rename/move the image after taking it, right? Would perhaps take a little bit of C++ code to do, but that should not be hard at all.

The perfect behavior for Camera element would be to save images automatically to the Gallery, I think.
