When I press "take picture" it reports an error "Cannot create directory '~/Webcam_Pictures'"

[Worik]

It popped up a dialogue and would not let me take a phot. When I created the directory manually and reran camorama it still gave the same error message.

I wager I am not the first to report this!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I found a workaround for this problem:

1. sudo apt-get install gconf-editor (or search in Software Center)
2. fire it up and change /apps/comorama/preferences/save_dir from "~/Webcam_Pictures" to "Webcam_Pictures"

So this is just a simple typo in the camorama.schemas.in from the source package. I hope some developer knows where to report or fix that.
