In Operation

When Hotfolder Prints is running the main window looks something like the screenshot below:

The name of the folder being monitored is displayed in the window title bar (C:\Photobooth\2012-01-17 in the example above). The main part of the window shows an activity log and the current status is summarized in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

The number of copies to print of each layout can be specified using the Settings menu or by typing Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3, Ctrl+4, or Ctrl+5.

The settings menu also has an option to print images in color or black and white. When Hotfolder Prints adds a new file it also takes a copy of the settings (number of copies and whether to print in color or B&W) and will use these settings when the images are printed.

 

Resetting the Queue

The queue can be emptied by selecting Reset from the File menu or by typing Ctrl+R. This will remove all pending images from the queue including any images being prepared for printing.
