It's using the LEDs (and the applet only appears with the camera "opened", which is also nice, because it saves space in the system area when the camera is "closed").

Thanks for the app

I'm sure going to need this app when my N900 arrive in NZ.

My baby is coming to me.

Seems to work as intended, thanks a lot!

I was wondering though, I suppose there is no way of blocking the camera app from starting when the cover is opened?

Would it otherwise make sense to start the application --> get banner that tells you to open camera cover --> open cover --> led's are lit?

Just thinking it would be sweet to not get the camera starting when you want the flaslight.

Had the same thoughts when working on moodlight. I've asked on the maemo-developers list, but no response yet.

Bug Report: After installing this app and using it for a little while, I am unable to launch the camera - I get an "operation failed" message. To duplicate:

Restart your phone
Launch the camera and take a couple pictures
close the camera
Turn on the flashlight
close the lens cover
open the cover - the camera app will crash and a banner reading "operation aborted" appears.

I'm not sure if these steps are exact, but basically, playing around with this and the camera crashes the camera. Rebooting brings the camera back for a while. Uninstalling and rebooting makes the camera work fine.

You need to close the Flashlight app first before you run the Camera app. Else it will conflict because something else is using the function. That is why it is crashed on your device.
Let me know if closed the app before hand work

I would not have a clue I'm just guessing since I dont have my N900 yet. Still waiting everyday like i'm waiting for a miracle
