Quick capture always uses front cam as default #4421

V 3.3 Sony Z1 compact 5.1.1

Whenever I enter a convo a try to quick capture I get scared a little bit of what I see. The happy me. 😊

So the front cam is the default for me. In-convo the change to back is stored though between closing and opening the quick capture. Until reentering. Stock and 3rd party cam behave well and default to back.

Log after entering convo and opening quick capture (front mode of course) https://gist.github.com/4a9f0c1fd53547db82ca

You dropped some log outputs, did you?

it looks like this is intentional: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/commit/8fd0ea39aabed7494abd3929803f355cfad83003

I personally don't like it, but perhaps its good for the selfie generation :wink:

Courses. Ok. Hm, need to visit some Barber then. Soon 💇

Really? OK.

mcginty commented 9 years ago

apparently most people take photos of themselves, so this appeases the selfie gen

McLoo commented 9 years ago

Just got to get used to it... (you sure you didn't mixed up your letters? Looks like you wanted to write "selfie disease gen app")

Could you add a preference that's exposed to the user that would disable this behavior? Think of the people who are too ugly for selfies!
