Anything that benefits your own society would be fine. If you want to take the extra mile then anything which goes towards supporting poor people would be fine Thanks!

5) observe picture has wrong log timestamp.
6) observe file will have correct timestamp and metadata

restarting, rebooting, and starting camera-ui all do nothing. note that when i first install the app, it correctly indexes all the pictures for the review.

as for #3, i personally would LOVE for any pictures in the root of ~/MyDocs/DCIM {not subdirs} to show up in picture review, regardless of exif data. this way, i would have a sensible expectation of what would show up, and the consequences of user actions are straighforward. {take it out, it goes away, put it back, it shows up}
I have a few questions here:
How do you disable tracker crawling? Why would you do that? That breaks gallery and media player.

The issue is with tracker out of the way, there will be no proper metadata from the images, no favorites functionality as well.

The pictures not showing up is a side effect of tracker not indexing them. I am not entirely sure how can I detect deletion of pictures without tracker. An alternative approach would be inotify but I am not yet sure if it can be done without breaking usb mass storage mode...

Cameraplus uses names like: 20130820_001.jpg, 002, 003, ... etc
If you remove 003.jpg then the name will be reused.
I did a change to camera+ to let it keep track of the last used counter value and thus will use 004 in the above case instead of 003.

That should at least prevent the wrong timestamp in the file but not really fix the problem...
