While the world is not perfect, this does not mean that developers are non-chalant about how they go about doing things, throwing in bugs and other kinds of hidden exploits into their released programs and apps. No sir, developers intend to do their level best to roll out a bug-free program at all times, and the same too, applies to developer Kevin Gosse and his Imageboard Browser app. In fact, he found out that his app for the Windows Phone platform has a storage bug that has nothing to do with the “other storage” problem discovered earlier this year. Gosse was figuring out just where hundreds of MB of data was literally disappearing to each time app on the Windows Phone platform was used.
Gosse eventually realized that the storage issue concerned the methods MediaLibrary.SavePicture and MediaLibrary.SavePictureToCameraRoll, where both are called into action when saving images to Windows Phone’s pictures hub, resulting in a copy of each image being saved in isolated storage. Code can of course be written to delete the file in isolated storage as it takes up a similar name as the one used by MediaLibrary.SavePicture , although it has another ‘jpg’ thrown into the mix at the end and with periods replaced by underscores. Here is hoping that a fix is discovered soon!
