Video recording shortcut to home screen and saving settings

[80486SX/25MHz]

Nowadays Android allows apps to create customized shortcuts to home screen, e.g. instantaneously start selfie mode, video mode, etc. This would be a great help.

Also, it would be great to have an option to set a "default mode" when the app is launched, e.g. video recording with focus mode set "continuous".

Thanks.

I'll second that. One way to achieve this could be to allow the settings XML files, that are created in "Settings > Settings manager > Save settings" -dialog, each have the option to appear as an icon on home screen. This, creating the icons, is btw already possible using the 'Total Commander for Android' app, but the icons can not refer to 'Open Camera' because 'Open Camera' does not accept opening XML files such way.

The 'Open Camera' settings files (???.XML) contain every setting of the app, so any number of different setups can be saved as XML files, and then be used. But it is nerve wrecking slow process, one has to:

• open 'Open Camera' app
• tap "Settings"
• scroll all the way down to bottom
• tap "Settings Manager"
• tap "Restore settings"
• tap OK to the warning dialog (time after time after time)
• finally tap the desired settings file

A single tap on an icon on the home screen could to all that.
