Richard B Knoll commented on CB-9506:
-------------------------------------
Agreed I am of the opinion that avoiding a few duplicate photos is not worth
the potential of deleting a user's other photos (no production app would every
want to risk that side effect). A case could be made that a very specific
series of events needs to happen for this to come about, but deleting photos
based on numbers sounds very prone to error and I would still vote to kill this
feature unless a more robust solution presents itself.
> A user's photos can be deleted if they leave a cordova application using
> cordova-plugin-camera

> Key: CB-9506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9506
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Camera
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Cody Balos
> Labels: Triaged, android
>
> Currently, the camera plugin checks the number of pictures saved to the
> device before any pictures are captured using the camera started via the
> plugin, and then checks the difference between the amount of photos before
> and after. Relying on this method introduces the possibility of deleting
> photos a user takes outside the cordova started camera. For example, consider
> this scenario:
> A user of a cordova application utilizes a cordova-plugin-camera backed
> camera feature , and while in the camera activity, switches to a different
> application. While in this different application the user takes a photo. Now
> the user returns to the cordova application, and is still in the camera
> activity. They take the photo, and accept it. Now the cleanup process inside
> cordova-plugin-camera begins, but, because of relying on the difference
> between the amount of photos before and after the activity, the photo the
> user took outside of the cordova application is deleted.
> This issue exists already in the checkForDuplicateImage function, does have
> the ill behavior from the above example. However, it is limited by its
> implementation to removing no more than 2 of the photos taken outside of the
> cordova application.
