Saving images locally (patch)

[humdinger]

This is hrev29096.

It has been mentioned on the mailinglist a while back: Besides storing the captures via FTP it may be useful to also offer an option to save them locally on your machine.

I may add that you can use eXposer for that. Even if it's only the demo version. It offers a lot more features too, while you capture your images.

A very simple enhancement but the FTP nature of the application is very deeply rooted. To use local outputting set output type to LOCAL. Setting directory will tell CodyCam where the file is to go. No file permissions checking implemented.

Thanks a lot for the patch! A few improvements are possible:

1) I'd call it "Local" versus "LOCAL". 2) Constructing the file path. You should allocate a string buffer on the stack with length "B_PATH_NAME_LENGTH" and then snprintf() the controls contents into that. 3) One small coding style issues: The "else" goes on the same line as the closing "}" from the preceding "if" block.

Ping. There was a patch attached 6 months ago by gamblore, that possibly hasn't been reviewed.

Added (patch) to summary so the ticket is easily found when querying for open patches. Thanks for spotting this, v.

Applied with some additional tweaks in hrev33682. Terribly sorry about the commit message, now I see the patch was by gamblore, not v.
