Filip Maj commented on CB-506:
------------------------------
Since Camera.getPicture is a PhoneGap API not based on any W3C spec, we can
make whatever changes we deem necessary.
That said, there were plans to deprecate this API and suggest to users to roll
with the Capture API, which, as far as I understand, does not take into account
any of the issues brought up here.
> images taken via Camera.getPicture do not get deleted

> Key: CB-506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-506
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, BlackBerry, iOS, WP7
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Becky Gibson
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
>
> images taken with camera.getPicture are stored in the temporary directory.
> There is code in applicationWillTerminate to delete the temporary directory.
> However, in a multitasking app this method is never called. The contents of
> this directory do not get backed up, but it is also not getting deleted.
> Seems like the only solution is to require the developer to clean out the
> temp directory since they know when it is appropriate to do so. We can leave
> the code in applicationWillTerminate for apps which set
> UIApplicationExistsOnSuspend in the plist since it IS called.
> Could discuss adding a method to Camera to do clean up rather than requiring
> devs. to use the File api's. Will need to negotiate with other platforms to
> see if this makes sense. Will add a dependency in Camera to File Plugin.
