Just in case you think, there isn't any further development: This camera-ui is now part of the CSSU. Bug fixes and new features are in the git-repository https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/camera-ui You can wait for the next CSSU update or take the binary from the first post. As the UI uses new icons, you have to copy those manually, it is described in the first post (only needed if you don't want to wait for the new CSSU, the camera-ui package from the CSSU will install the icons for you) bugfixes and features from the lates version at (by MohammadAG and me) https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/camera-ui: * Use camera key to close preview window. * Check if what gnomevfs returns is NULL, otherwise the app segfaults. * Disable display blanking while recording video. * add sound effects (focus done, capture, start recording) * moved focus distance label to upper right corner * shorter autofocus delay (changed from 1 sec to 0.5 sec) * reset recording timer when recording stops nicolai
