Alternatively, replace the now superfluous "use indicator led as torch" checkbox with "allow using both LEDs simultaneously". I am thinking hard to come up with a situation when one would want to have both the white and the red LED on at the same time though.
Question: do you have the "Ignore camera cover status" option checked? If so, Lanterne will ignore the camera cover. This includes not closing the app when the camera cover is closed...
Yes, and it was much more flexible as well. Dangerously flexible. The advantage of the "duty cycle" mechanism is that it shows you exactly where the danger is -- the higher the duty cycle, the greater the chance of damage to the LEDs. I'll look at providing other UI options, but I at least want to keep the duty cycle value somewhere, to let you know if you're in dangerous territory.
How about keeping the duty cycle but providing a dynamic info line showing what it translates to in absolute terms.
Ah, yeah, I've been trying to work out how best to do something like that. The big issue here is how to make it work in both landscape and portrait mode. The way I've got it now, Qt automagically resizes all the buttons for me; but splitting the buttons horizontally works better in landscape, and splitting them vertically works better in portrait. I'm still trying to find a way to customize landscape and portrait modes without being too cumbersome. (...) Actually, I'd prefer to have a generic White/Red switch somewhere, so that all the choices (Torch/Pulse/SOS/Morse) pick up the color switch once, rather than forcing each button to be split...
