[instaviz-users] Export to camera roll, opinions wanted

Hi All

I've managed to enable an "export to camera roll" function for the  
imminent release of 1.3, but there are some Apple-imposed limitations.  
The picture ends up being somewhat grainy since the output is fixed to  
JPEG. I'm thinking of putting the option on the Graph Settings screen  
but don't want to indicate that it's a full quality export, so I was  
wondering what description to use:

Export to Camera Roll -- assumes the same quality as "Export to  
Server"...
Snapshot to Camera Roll -- snapshots can indicate lower quality e.g.  
like a Polaroid, but snapshot isn't really a verb
Snap to Camera Roll -- snap is the right verb but it has two meanings  
in English...
Low-Quality/Rough/etc. Image to Camera Roll -- ???

There's also the additional wrinkle of the Camera Roll being called  
"Saved Photos" on iPod Touch. I can probably change the name of the  
command in the code, but I don't really want to detect iPod Touch vs.  
iPhone since that assumes all future models will work the same way.  
What do the other apps you use call it?




Cheers, Glen Low
