There is NO way for an application to call the camera application and get a filename from it after the user took a picture.

The options are:

1.- I have to make my own "camera" app inside Yappari, which I won't, and if I did it won't be as nice as the default camera app.

2.- Do a hack like this: Call the camera application and start monitoring differences in the DCIM directory, but if the user doesn't take a picture... it'll be a disaster.

Since I haven't found a way to call the camera and get a filename from it, I haven't done it.

if any of you guys have an idea, I'm listening!
Can't you put maybe rawcam or Fcam inside yappari and make it optional to do such a thing ?
instead of doing your own camera app; use the apps people made
Thanks Scorpius
