The long answer is: This is a bit problematic. Assume the following case:
1) switch GPS and geotags on when is active
2) network connection dialog pops up
3) camera+ becomes non active and disables gps and geotags
4) network connection dialog disappears
5) camera becomes active again and switches on gps and geotags
6) repeat step 2.

I hope I managed to get a fix for that but let's see if it really fixes it.

Hmm, OK, I hadn't thought of that. It's a scenario I'd not see because I'm always connected and the networks I use are all set to auto-connect. The stock Harmattan camera manages it somehow (lets go of GPS), so there's hope. :-)

My bad. I was confused about how and when the camera went into standby. Cameraplus functions the same way as the Harmattan camera in this regard, so all good... pretend I didn't ask for #3. :-)
