Couldn't that be done with manual exposure compensation?
so here is the scenario that leads users to want this evBox+focusBox feature:
1) folks try to take a pic with radically bad lighting, and notice that its underexposed
2) they then move the focal point to a dark region on the viewfinder, and take it again.
3) they notice that the subject is overexposed AND blurry, and wish they could adjust the exposure based on the lighting without having the focal point change.
WISH GRANTED.
really, though, its that cellphones and P&S DigiCams (R) (TM) make it so that users have literally no idea what exposure is, let alone give them a slider for changing it.
EDIT: im not saying the feature is useless, just that the problem it addresses is solved far more elegantly with a manual ev slider that you dont need to go off-camera to change.

its obnoxious to have your app always running without even notifying the user, but it can actually be a useful feature, and youre never going to get faster than without it.
You might try using qml profiler.
You might try doing some cerr's to show what takes so long.

QML profiler that comes with QtCreator is no good. I couldn't figure out anything from it.
All I am saying is I am trying to find bottlenecks to optimize. If someone can help then please do

One you point where you want the focus to be. And one point to put where you want the exposure to be measured from, seperate from the focal point.
Like Camera+ for iOS.

yep, thats exactly what i was saying. the easily-accessible slider you made obviates the need for this feature completely.
the only advantage that a touch-exposure-selector has is that it makes it so that you dont need to have any idea what exposure means to use it.

Anyway, I will add it to my TODO list and try to find a way to do it.

I am also waiting for feature requests

3. Go into a "standby" mode after a period of inactivity like the stock Harmattan camera does. Preferably with a user-configurable timeout.
Thanks very much for cameraplus, MSameer, from what I've seen of it so far (installed it this morning) it is an excellent application. Awesome work, mate!

Need to try this app! Got curious now.
edit: ouch the theme I'm using interferes with the interface. Don't see any text in menus in the viewfinder view.

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.
