That's a good one. I will try to sneak it into the next release

So the short answer is: I am trying to tackle this now and I think I have a fix.

The long answer is: This is a bit problematic. Assume the following case:
1) switch GPS and geotags on when is active
2) network connection dialog pops up
3) camera+ becomes non active and disables gps and geotags
4) network connection dialog disappears
5) camera becomes active again and switches on gps and geotags
6) repeat step 2.

I hope I managed to get a fix for that but let's see if it really fixes it.

But that already happens. Do you have any issues with that?
