The related menu should have only buttons related to the camera in my opinion! So the flashlight app would be a start to look at but also a "open" menu for the camera has to be universal and I think needs to be separated from the apps which want to use it so maybe an additional app which dependencies are coming from flashlight and others.

What do you think about this possible solution ?

that is the exact same idea i came up with. quicklaunch to come up on its own. see my screen shots. quicklaunch to be its own app when the shutter opens and not the camera UI.


b0unc3 - if you can do that. you will be famous. shouldnt be that hard??? call it 'quicklaunch cam' lol

It could be doable

But I want to make it as a part of quicklaunch, instead of making another app also because other people requests to have quicklaunch openeable with a key shortcut but it seems to be impossible to make appear the statusbar menu, so I can implement this way of dialog opening also for quicklaunch.
But I don't know, I feel a little bit confused atm

First let me say Quicklaunch has been one of the handiest apps on the n900 so far.

This is what I think you should do. keep it the way it is but expand on the app.

1: have quicklaunch open in full screen mode like the control settings panel you have(example 1). To keep everyone else happy maybe have a key combination shortcut to launch Quicklaunch in full screen mode like ctrl+blue arrow+Q. Don’t worry about the status bar. Also only make this option available when an app is taken out of full screen mode....also you could make it transparent???? like this


2: have an option in the control panel to enable launch on shutter open(example 2). So replace the camera UI with full screen Quicklaunch like example 1 so i can select the app to launch other then the auto-load camera UI. Eg: qik and flashlight

what do you think? does it solve all your problems?? keep the app the way it is but just expand

Uhm.. another idea (final idea I hope ).

I will put a checkbox button in the control panel as the ones on your screenshot without making other complicated key shortcut combination and let the users decide to enable/disable it whenever they want.
Now the last thing to manage is what to launch when you open the shutter, having to start an application is a little bit heavy and not so "quick".
I will look if I can do something better than a simple dialog, that, by now, seems to be the only possible (and maybe best) solution.

one again. your a star

Has this been forgotten?? lol

No (not yet)
I've modified quicklaunch in order to do this job, the package is ready but it's builded with the pr1.2, so if I publish it now, no one can test it
I think I'll wait until the pr1.2 will be available for the community.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
