Module less versatile due to OS feature prevention

[oliversalzburg]

imgcache.js disables Gallery integration on Android and backups on iOS. I actually want those features, but imgcache.js provides no means to control the behavior.

I made a crude change in our fork, which works for us for the time being, but I'd like to hear thought regarding this issue.

I think what you're aiming to achieve can be controlled by setting the target directory of the cache, in order to use an OS backed up directory. You need to override the following setting: ImgCache.options.cordovaFilesystemRoot Look at the js file header for more details. But maybe I didn't understand your exact requirement.

It doesn't really matter what folder you set, the library will always create a .nomedia file in the target directory, which prevents the contents from being indexed by the Media Scanner.

On iOS, the library will set the com.apple.MobileBackup key on the file system entry to prevent it from being backed up to iCloud.

I do not see a way to control that behavior currently. In case I misunderstood your suggestion, please let me know.

I see now. I will add an option to disable this behaviour soon, I hope by the end of the week.

Oh, wow. Awesome :) I'll be sure to check it out.

Have a look at the new branch above, and let me know if that's what you were looking for.
I'll merge it if that's ok.

@chrisben That looks awesome 👍

[oliversalzburg]

@chrisben Do you plan to merge that feature branch anytime soon? I would really like to use your official version and rebase my work on top.
