Description

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

Turn out that the picture directory might need to be /sdcard/DCIM/.

The DCF spec is at:

http://www.jeita.or.jp/cgi-bin/standard_e/pdf.cgi?jk_n=51&jk_pdf_file=CP%2D3461A_e%2Epdf

If we want to have the camera recognized as a camera on major OS (this includes Linux), then DCIM has to be at the root of that filesystem, and images stored in subdirectories following the right conventions as set in this spec.
This supports multiples vendor / device for the same storage (see 3rd party camera app)

Do be like these guys:

Here I meant "do not be like these guys".
Where the breakage is propagated to other vendors like Samsung.

We'll revert it back.
