Feature request: automatic data saves with GPS data #1

It would be very helpful if several pieces of data were automatically saved when ST analyses are done. In recent extensive field work using the edge fabric tool my workflow was overly complicated. I did this:

  1. TAKE PHOTO
  2. select USE PHOTO
  3. add spot name, notes, Save
  4. hit camera button to save screenshot to camera roll
  5. hit copy button to copy data to clipboard
  6. go to Notes
  7. paste data there
  8. hit SEND TO STEREONET
  9. go to Stereonet and then go through several steps to paste the data in there (lots of places to make mistakes along the way)

This is a pretty complicated workflow and it is easy to forget a step when you're doing it dozens of times in a row in the field.

It would be VERY helpful if the following changes were made.

  1. Automatically save a screenshot to the camera roll.
  2. Automatically append time-stamped data (orientation matrix, azimuth, trend, plunge), with any notes added in step 3 above, AND, very importantly, GPS location, to an automatically generated log file that can be retrieved.

After several long field tests I find that the lack of GPS data is a serious problem. It is quite difficult to keep track of where a measurement was taken, especially when 2 people are working separately and combining data. It is easy to get out-of-sync and not know which photo is which. Having a time-stamped track, along with timestamps on the photos, would solve many problems.

It should be easy enough to add the necessary data to the log file. When you say, "Automatically save a screenshot," what does that mean? Save a screenshot of what screen?

I just sent you a screenshot. Basically, save everything that can be saved automatically rather than having to opt-in and remember to do it. I guess you could put opt-out in the prefs, but I’m not sure why someone would want to.
