One, Camera/Shy is clearly marked as Beta. In fact, the current version is 0.2.23.1. We totally want help on this application. We have used SourceForge because we want developers to be able to help on this. Two, the FAQ - which has been carefully translated - very specifically notes already that the gifs may be easily detected by using software analysis. It notes we understand we will have to manually change the protocol used on a regular basis. Workarounds have already been stated within the FAQ at the top of the list. It notes that the strength of the application is in hiding images on pro-"Communist" sites and in planting fake images through out the web. In this way the "Communist" regime must expend a great deal of time and resources and follow bad leads. So, on one hand, this is a high priority known bug... on the other hand it is stated that we realize there is not a fool proof method to hide content in gif images at all -- excepting a few methods which forego usability completely allowing only very short messages. This said, this particular signature bug will be munged. That said, the bug in the implementation of the encryption, a popular library used in Camera/Shy... is simply a new bug entirely which will be fixed as high priority. Third, you have total right to email the author and actually submit bugs, submit code, submit translations. Cheers, the Pull __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
