Jesse MacFadyen resolved CB-5895.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Should doc WP quirks with camera saveToPhotoAlbum
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-5895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5895
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Docs
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Marcel Kinard
> Priority: Minor
>
> A customer was using navigator.camera.getPicture with {saveToPhotoAlbum:
> false} in the options. This was on WP7 and WP8, using Cordova 2.6. They
> stated that the photo was still being saved in the phone's camera roll, and
> they didn't think that should happen.
> I took a look at the source code for the camera plugin on WP, and the native
> code invokes Microsoft's CameraCaptureTask API. The MS doc for
> CameraCaptureTask states that it will always save the picture to the camera
> roll, and the only way to avoid that behavior is to use Microsoft's
> PhotoCamera API. I also looked at the Capture plugin, and it also uses
> CameraCaptureTask.
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394006(v=vs.105).aspx
> So the Camera docs should include quirk verbage that the saveToPhotoAlbum
> option has no effect on WP7/WP8 and the picture will always be stored in the
> camera roll.
> Perhaps the native code could also log a warning if it is invoked with
> saveToPhotoAlbum==false.
