Hello guys,

Im using this plugin to capture video, the videos are recorded properly and so is the videoURL returned. I move the file to a private location and encrypt it afterwards.

My question is related to the Android gallery app, even after moving he file, it appears on the gallery miniatures and fortunately an error is thrown "File not found".

How do i prevent that gallery miniature?

@andreddosantos I'm experiencing the same thing. It should be really nice to be able to define a location where to write the taken image or video

I need this feature as well. Thank you!

Some camera applications provide the user the option to also save a copy of any captured media to the user's gallery. I don't believe there is a standardized way to prevent this at the programmatic level.

In 6.0, I have plans to use EXTRA_OUTPUT and most camera applications will honour this and only save to the specified location provided through the EXTRA_OUTPUT variable, but actual behaviour will vary by the underlying camera application and there is no guarantee that the application won't save a copy elsewhere. Usually if the camera application saves its own copy, it's a camera setting that the user can configure.

Should be fixed by #302
