Make the menu entry flash as an aide to navigation

    Hi Mark.

    Thank you for all your hard work in creating this app.

    I've used Open camera for years but navigating the menus can be a bit confusing, especially when things get moved around. My suggestion when coming out of a submenu is to flash the menu option that was taken.

    For example, assume I changed the setting for "Touch To Capture" within "More Camera Controls" then when I exit "More Camera Controls", it would be useful to flash the entry for "More Camera Controls" on the main "Camera Controls" menu. If you see what I mean.

    I believe this would help navigation considerably because, despite familiarity with OC, I am sometimes hunting in and out of menus to find a particular setting and this can be slow when in the field taking pictures.

    Just my 2 cents worth!

    Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds a nice idea, although in practice the user interface here is part of the standard Android UI for application preferences, so I'm not sure if this would be feasible without switching to a custom user interface for the preferences.

    Mark, the settings menus on my stock Android 10 phone does something very similar to this . That's where I got the idea from! I don't think it was in Andorid 9.
