949761 - Modify Camera to use new image downsample and decode API

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1014955

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Description

[David Flanagan [:djf]]

When bug 854795 is fixed, we should modify the Camera app to make use of the new platform feature it defines.

We can use the new API when creating thumbnails for the filmstrip, when handling digital zoom, and when creating an EXIF preview for a digitally zoomed photo.

Also, once this feature has landed and the Gallery app has been modified to use it, the camera app can stop including such large EXIF previews in its photos.  Currently they are at least as large as the screen, which is probably bigger than we'd ideally want.

Note that bug 949753 is filed for updating media_frame.js to use the new feature, so camera previews should be taken care of by that bug.

Closing this as a duplicate of Bug 1014955 (even though it should probably be the other way around). The patch for Bug 1014955 has landed on v1.4, v2.0 (master at the time) and therefore the current master (v2.1).
