Breeze Booth Settings

To download all files captured on the Photo Booth to your PC via Breeze Hub, first ensure the option is enabled. In Breeze Booth go to “Settings” and enable “Copy all output to Breeze Hub”.

When the “Copy all output to Breeze Hub” option is not selected only the photos, print layout and XML summary file will be sent to the sync server.

If you are uploading your files to Dropbox or Breeze Cloud Gallery, you would only need to enable this if you need local access to the files at your event. For example, for the purpose of sharing with another app such as Breeze Kiosk.

Breeze Hub Settings

You can specify the download location of the files on your PC by setting the download path in “File > Preferences” and filling in the “Download folder” field.

The default setting is documents\Breeze Booth\iPadName.
The tokens enclosed in curly brackets are replaced with the actual values when the files are downloaded.

• documents → replaced with the path of the Documents folder for the current login (e.g. C:\Users\Chris\Documents)
• iPadName → replaced with the name of the iPad sending the file
  

Please take care to only use characters that are allowed in Windows filenames when naming the iPads if you use the iPadName token. (Avoid using < > ? * / \ : | “)

Using Tokens for Advanced Download Paths

The token {path} can also be used in the download folder. This expands to the relative pathname of the file being downloaded and is useful if you want to download files to different folders based on their filenames.

Example:
The following download path can be used to download files ending in _1.jpg to the folder named Hotfolder and all other files to the folder named with the iPad’s name:

documents\Breeze Booth\{if,{compare,{right,5,{path}},_1.jpg},Hotfolder,iPadName}

If you are running an event with multiple iPads and want to share the photos using sharing software running on the PC you may wish to remove the iPadName from the download folder path and replace it with the event name so that the photos from all iPads are downloaded to the same folder.
