Package: cheese Version: 2.28.1-1 Severity: important The current version of cheese in squeeze faces a problem which renders it nearly unusable: if you take photos or videos with it, you don't know where they are stored and can't find these information.
With a bit of research, I found that these files are stored in ~/.gnome2/cheese/media which is not a user-friendly place. Gnome Cheese FAQ [1] says that cheese will use XDG-directories to store photos and videos, but are these XDG-directories specified in Debian? And how can a user change them? [1] http://live.gnome.org/Cheese/FAQ#Where_does_cheese_store_my_photos.3F ps: bug #556735 tells the opposite with cheese creating a ~/Webcam directory to store photos+videos, I don't know why we have different program behaviours -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cheese depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.28-1 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.21-1 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.28-1 GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pang ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.28.2-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-11 2.28.2-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10 0.10.28-1 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.28-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.14-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG Versions of packages cheese recommends: ii gvfs 1.4.3-2 userspace virtual filesystem - ser cheese suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
