Storing photos to map, or track
Completed
When I ́m taking photos while using locus, the photos will be automatically stored in the map, or track record.

I like this idea 
Perhaps "add new POI (from camera)" (which is currently almost the same as "add new POI" anyway) could be modified to allow such functionality.
After selecting such function (preferably from the right menu) a camera will be invoked and immediately after taking a shot the picture will be saved with some generated name (simple timestamp like "20121015_082203.jpg" will suffice). The idea is to modify current photo taking workflow to less "work" and more "flow". :)
Thank you for consideration!

@Peter:
Current path is .../Locus/data/photo_poi/...
You want to save poipictures e.g. in .../Locus/"CurrentMapDir"/photo_poi//... ????.

gynta, it doesn`t matter where pictures are stored - it`s just about the workflow.
Currently:
if I want to take a picture from within Locus, I have to select "add new POI" or "add new POI (from camera)". Sorry if the labels are spelled differently but for some reason I can`t switch Locus to English, but hopefuly you know what I mean.. Then I have to fill in a name for new POI, then take a picture (or vice versa) and finally confirm new POI. This is just too much time consuming so I often find myself exiting Locus and launching standard camera instead.
Proposed:
Select the "camera" function from the right panel, take a picture and that`s it, carry on with your ride/walk, the picture is saved automagically (and optionally can be shown on the map, just like a regular POI).
Hopefully it`s clearer now. :)

hmm I see only problem with name of POI. When this will be generated automatically, then it will only by click on "add new POI (camera)", take photo, click "OK" to confirm edit dialog with predefined name ... this is fast and without problems right? If so, then this should be interesting for you https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/top... , at least first part

Menion: yes, that should work, I can handle one "superfluous" tap methinks. It`s sort of more universal anyway. Thank you!
