Still using and enjoying Camera+, it's my go to camera app on my N9.
I noticed an unusual behavior. The program names the photos YYYYMMDD_nnn which.is super useful when sorting through pictures, especially after downloading them to a PC. Since any file manager can sort files alphabetically by filename, this circumvents problems where the file date gets modified somewhere along and no longer agrees with the original creation date. You don't need an exif-aware picture manager, alpha-sort gives chronological sort! Yay!
The weird behavior comes in for users that use a time zone other than UTC on their device. The filename is based on the current UTC date. The exif creation date however is set to local time. So if I'm operating at UTC-5 and I take the first picture of the day at 6:59 PM (18:59) on October 14, the file is named 20151014_001. But if the next photo is shot at 1900 or later, it will be named 20151015_001 while the exif creation time will still be Oct 14.
It's not a.serious bug, and I don't expect a.fix.for my 'burning platform' at this late.date. Just thought other users might want to know. And maybe the same behavior is present in Sailfish version. I don't know since Jolla phone is crippled in US by.2g.service only, but I am very much looking forward to using camera+ on my shiny new Jolla tablet on that happy long awaited day it finally arrives.
Anyway, thanks again for Camera +.
