Allow camera button to launch a Lens app
Lenses are camera-centric apps. I think it would be a great option to allow users to choose which Lens launches when they press the camera button.
(As the developer for ProShot, this is actually my most-requested feature!)
Thank you!

Option to NOT shrink images on auto Skydrive upload
The function that automatically uploads photos to Skydrive shrinks them. A lot. When I take a picture, I want full resolution, also when downloading them to my computer from skydrive, but I have to remember to manually upload them from the phone to get full resolution.
There should be an option to choose if you want them shrinked or not on auto upload!
