1. Preserve previous on-screen options in Snappy

I cannot explain enough how many times I have gotten bitten by thinking the flash is off because I turned it off in the previous Snappy pulldown, but when the new snappy window appears, all options are reset (meaning the flash goes back to Auto, and causes it to go off when taking a picture in a situation when this is not desired)

* Usefulness/Priority: Very High

2. Bug/Annoyance fix needed: Allow snappy to display the previous photo taken, when clicking on the preview button

50% of the time Snappy will NOT display the previous photo taken, but rather the photo before it, making you think the picture never even took. This bug definitely needs to be fixed.

* Usefulness/Priority: Very High

3. Provide a setting to enable or disable the preview
* Usefulness/Priority: Moderate

4. Provide a setting to enable or disable the pulldown animation
When enabled: Have snappy simply appear (instead of being dropped down from the top)
* Usefulness/Priority: Low

5. Annoyance fix: When Snappy is activated on the lockscreen, prevent the OS from turning off the backlight (like what BiteSMS does when composing a new message, or replying via Quick Reply)

This bug is annoying because if Snappy is pulled down on the lockscreen, then when the lockscreen's backlight dim/turn off timeout expires, then snappy disappears ...which in turn forces me to never use it on the lockscreen if I know it will be open for a while.

* Usefulness/Priority: High

6. Add a setting to show a grid layout (See: Camera+ application in the App Store)
* Usefulness/Priority: Low

7. Add a setting to tap on the screen to have the picture taken (See: Camera Plus Pro in the App Store)
* Usefulness/Priority: Moderate

8. Add a 4th option to the on-screen option for flash, to have the LED light remain on, so that the camera can focus on an option if it is dark (See: Camera+ aplication in the App Store)
* Usefulness/Priority: Moderate

9. Add a setting to highlight all on-screen options in blue (or some other color to callout their current state)

This is good in low light situations when I cannot see the on-screen settings to save my life
* Usefulness/Priority: High

10. Annoyance fix:
Whenever snappy is shown, at the very top of the screen, there is a line of pixels that span across the entire width of the LCD which shows the screen behind the snappy window
(Ex: the wallpaper on the SB, the background for the application, etc)

This is just a distraction, and shows that the application isn't polished

* Usefulness/Priority: Moderate

11. Add an setting to allow the Snappy to take photos with the Home button.
This would require a new on-screen option to be displayed to close snappy.
This is not only useful to have another physical button to take the photo, but also to have snappy remain down for as long as needed, without accidentally hitting the home button.

* Usefulness/Priority: Moderate
