Joys of doing things late at night - I wrote everything, then, of course, forget to attach file. Fixed, lanterne-helper should be downloadable from quoted post attachments, now

Generally, such things comes out "in addition", like all-purpose flashlight solution, when you included remote flash in pierogi... But, from top of my head, there is for sure one thing that would be usefull for +- everyone, and IMO would result in even more oustanding feedback than Lanterne:

A good program for (automatically or manually) recording calls, system/bluetooth sound, etc! We have "recaller", but it's unmaintained, bugged as hell, tends to hang on worse possible moments, and half functions doesn't work as intended (FLAC recording fails silently, can't automatically record SIP conversations at all...) + It suffers from "I'm a widget" crippled configuration (still, some bits of it could be sueful to determine how to achieve certain things).

Having all the bad things about recaller said, I'm using it daily (and many other people too, AFAIK), so I would download properly maintained replacement in a heartbeat. Could be good reason for you to learn bits about N900 sound thingie's, too If you take the idea, you're my hero (even more than you're already ). No matter what, thanks for asking!

// Edit

As for Lanterne itself, small idea, that I got after playing with it yesterday - some way of (separately) quick access to light up *either* normal torch or indicator one, would be great. In most cases, I use normal torch, but if, for night vision reasons, I need to use indicator, wenturing into settings and changing it, going back, and enabling,m already destroys NV due to looking at screen for so long.

I know separate ON/OFF button for torch and indicator may crowd main menu a little, but it seems most practical. Or some small "toggle" that would affect what is enabled by torch ON/OFF?

BTW, following status menu idea - status menu widget with two buttons (torch ON/OFF | Redlight. ON/OFF) would serve that purpose even better
