Hi Jan, One of the things that we have (has ux wanted 1.x) is rotating images in the gallery. I wanted to do an actual replace of the file content to not mess up the metadata through getEditable(). At the moment there is no way to overwrite file contents (at least not to my knowledge) :-) _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
