If like me you have longed for a better way of launching flashlight that does not involve opening shutter, closing cam, opening status menu then clicking widget thing. You can actually launch it from CL if you edit /usr/share/applications/hildon/flashlight-applet-launcher.desktop and remove the line

'NoDisplay=true'

Voila, you can now add flashlight to CL.

True story dat.

vi_,
how about this:
1. install Camera Lens Launcher from repos.
2. upon installation, go to Settings and change the first box to: "Show application pop-up window"
3. in the third box, add Flashlight and all other camera-related apps that you like.
Next time you slide that camera cover, a selection of apps will pop-up instead of the camera.

Thanked both posts: vi_, your post is no doubt useful knowledge-wise, but apps already exist in the repos that let you configure what gets launched when you open the cam shutter, or have it bring up a menu of choices.

derp.

Flashlight-applet-launcher does not appear as a selectable program through Hildon menu OR CL launcher settings until you tell it to not 'no_display'.

This simply makes it show up as a program in applications list. This allows you to add it to CL launchers list of programs. Before this alteration it would not appear and you could not add it.

Ya follow?

anyway, for my case, no extra editing was necessary.

I could always add flashlight in camera lens launcher, even with 'NoDisplay=true' in the .desktop file.
