where does gnome-camera save images? I took a couple of pictures and I can't locate any of them. even using a one liner to find images:
locate --regex 'png|jpg|jpeg' | grep -viE 'icon|book|help|pixmaps|wallpapers|man|bin|include|lib|info|zenity|doc'
inb4 did you updatedb, yes. I did.
ok, so I looked at the source for the camera app and found this line:
Environment.set_variable("GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR", Environment.get_user_special_dir(DESKTOP), true);
and realized that it's trying to use the xdg-dirs which aren't set up by default so I installed the dirs package:
sudo pacman -S xdg-user-dirs
and ran the setup:
xdg-user-dirs-update
and it's saving to Pictures/ now
so the image quality greatly depends on what you're taking a picture of since there seems to be no autofocus. low quality pictures of my T collection for instance:
https://upload.picpaste.me/image/kmpCP
not bad quality pictures of my back yard:
https://upload.picpaste.me/image/kmBeB
https://upload.picpaste.me/image/kmDMo
but at least we can take pictures now!
