Saving image to the Photos folder in Hololens app

JD_Holo_Dev

I'm attempting to capture a photo inside my hololens app. It seems to be working but saving the image to an obscure place that I cant access or view. I want to save the image so I can see it in my photos on the hololens.

filePath = C:/Data/Users/JanikJoe/AppData/Local/Packages/HoloToolkit-Unity_pzq3xp76mxafg/LocalState\CapturedImage10.02831_n.jpg

filePath2 = C:/Data/Users/DefaultAccount/AppData/Local/DevelopmentFiles/HoloToolkit-UnityVS.Debug_x86.janik/Data\CapturedImage10.02831_n.jpg

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.VR.WSA.WebCam;
using System.Linq;

public class PhotoCaptureFVTC : MonoBehaviour {

UnityEngine.VR.WSA.WebCam.PhotoCapture photoCaptureObject = null;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
    Debug.Log("snap pic taken");
    PhotoCapture.CreateAsync(false, OnPhotoCaptureCreated);
}

public void OnPhotoCaptureCreated(PhotoCapture captureObject)
{
photoCaptureObject = captureObject;

    //Resolution cameraResolution = PhotoCapture.SupportedResolutions.OrderByDescending((res) => res.width * res.height).First();
    Resolution cameraResolution = PhotoCapture.SupportedResolutions.OrderByDescending((res) => res.width * res.height).First();

    CameraParameters c = new CameraParameters();
    c.hologramOpacity = 0.0f;
    c.cameraResolutionWidth = cameraResolution.width;
    c.cameraResolutionHeight = cameraResolution.height;
    c.pixelFormat = CapturePixelFormat.BGRA32;

    captureObject.StartPhotoModeAsync(c, false, OnPhotoModeStarted);
}
void OnStoppedPhotoMode(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
{
    photoCaptureObject.Dispose();
    photoCaptureObject = null;
}

private void OnPhotoModeStarted(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
{
    if (result.success)
    {
        string filename = string.Format(@"CapturedImage{0}_n.jpg", Time.time);
        string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, filename);
        string filePath2 = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, filename);

        photoCaptureObject.TakePhotoAsync(filePath, PhotoCaptureFileOutputFormat.JPG, OnCapturedPhotoToDisk);
        Debug.LogError("Saved That Image Somewhere" +"FileName: ="+ filename + " FilePath: = " + filePath + " FilePath2: = " + filePath2);
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.LogError("Unable to start photo mode!");
    }
}
void OnCapturedPhotoToDisk(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
{
    if (result.success)
    {
        Debug.Log("Saved Photo to disk!");
        photoCaptureObject.StopPhotoModeAsync(OnStoppedPhotoMode);
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Failed to save Photo to disk");
    }
}
}

Hi @JD_Holo_Dev,

To get the path to my pictures, you can try:

string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary.Path, filename);

Be sure to add My Pictures to the capabilities for your app.
