External Commands
External commands allow custom programs or scripts to be triggered automatically during photo booth operation — for example to modify images, control lights, or run custom workflows.
There are three ways to run external commands in full screen photo booth mode:
- After each photo is downloaded — useful for modifying photos using an external program or Photoshop droplet before printing. Use the edit images option and select the command line option.
- When the photo booth screen changes — runs a command each time the screen changes during the shooting sequence. The full pathname of the current screen image is passed as a command line argument.
- When the XML summary file is written — runs a command after the photo booth output is saved or printed and the XML summary file is written. The full pathname of the XML file is passed as a command line argument.
Windows Registry Settings
Enable external commands by setting this registry value to 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable
Define the screen change command:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmd
Define the XML summary command:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\DSLRRemotePro\100\PhotoboothStatusCmdXML
Set either value to an empty string (or delete the value) to run one command but not the other.
These settings can also be changed using the Configure.exe utility in the installation folder.
