Bug Description

current build number: 209
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed

com.ubuntu.camera 3.0.0.469

The camera app frequently hangs when there are lot of pictures on the SD Card. Sometimes it completely freezes with a black screen, sometimes it recovers after a few seconds.

Test Case:
1. Fill the SD card with pictures
$ for n in $(seq -w 3000); do cp <reference_picture>.jpg <path_to_sdcard>/Pictures/picture_${n}.jpg; done

2. Wait until mediascanner finishes indexing the photos
3. Open the camera app

Expected Result
Camera app is working fine and responsive

Actual Result
The camera app frequently hangs. Sometimes it completely freezes with a black screen, sometimes it recovers after a few seconds.

This bug was fixed in the package camera-app - 3.0.0+15.04.20150125-0ubuntu1

---------------
camera-app (3.0.0+15.04.20150125-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Florian Boucault ]
  * Image quality setting: set "Fine Quality" to the maximum quality.
    More appropriate user wise and fixes failing AP test.
  * Asynchronously scan the filesystem for media. Fixes freeze at
    startup with a huge amount of media. Significantly faster deletion
    when deleting a huge amount of media. Taking a photo is now always
    fast even with a huge amount of media. (LP: #1413950)
  * SD Card: use app specific subfolder of Videos and Pictures to
    read/write videos and pictures.
  * Fixed issue where recording video on SD card prevents recording on
    internal storage later.
