Hi there,

I am really glad that CommCare has the signature feature.  I noticed that the image is saved to the device and some of the users were concerned about their signature being on devices.  is there a way to prevent it from copying to the image gallery on the device? or encrypt the image at least?

Kind regards,
Ameera

Ameera,

Unfortunately neither of this is possible within CommCareODK at the moment. You can tell Android that you don't want media in a certain folder being indexed by adding a file called .nomedia to that folder (read more here). However, you'd have to do this yourself - enter CommCare's domained folder on the SD card and add this file either via USB or an Android text editor app. Its also worth noting that this is basically a voluntary opt out that "well behaved" applications will respect, but are not forced to. 

If you want to get this supported within CommCareODK, I'd recommend adding the idea to UserVoice and our dev team will review the idea.

Best,
Will
