Running External Commands

 

External commands can be used to customize the way the photo booth works e.g. by emailing images or turning lights on and off. There are three different ways external commands can be run when shooting in full screen photo booth mode:

 

 

Running commands after downloading each photo

This is useful if the photos need to be modified using an external program or Photoshop droplet before they are printed. To do this use the edit images option and select the command line option.

Running commands when the photo booth screen changes

This allows a command to be run each time the photo booth screen changes during the photo booth shooting sequence. The full pathname of the screen image is passed as a command line argument to the command e.g. C:\Program Files\BreezeSys\Remote Pro\PhotoboothImages\ready.jpg. To enable this two values need to be stored in the Windows registry: PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable and PhotoboothStatusCmd (see below for details).

Running a command when the XML summary file is written

This allows a command to be run after the photo booth output has been saved or printed and the XML summary file has been written. The full pathname of the XML summary file is passed as a command line argument to the command. To enable this two values need to be stored in the Windows registry: PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable and PhotoboothStatusCmdXML (see below for details).

Windows registry settings

To enable the photo booth screen change or XML summary file commands the following REG_DWORD value in the Windows registry should be set to 1:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable

 

The photo booth screen change command is defined using the following REG_SZ value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmd

 

The XML summary file command is defined using the following REG_SZ value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmdXML

 

Enter an empty string or delete the registry value for PhotoboothStatusCmd or PhotoboothStatusCmdXML if you want to run one command but not the other. These settings can be edited using the Windows regedit utility.

These settings can also be changed exiting Remote Pro and then running the Configure.exe utility in the installation folder.
