Sending images to multiple email addresses with DSLR Remote Pro and Kiosk

December 5, 2018 Sue Breeze

Guests often want to share images to several email addresses. The default versions of both DSLR Remote Pro and Breeze Kiosk send emails to one address at a time. DSLR Remote Pro 3.12 and Breeze Kiosk 1.5 introduce the ability to cc additional addresses when sending emails.

Sending images to multiple addresses from DSLR Remote Pro

Example 1: Adding a CC line to the email keyboard

We need to add a second prompt  to the email keyboard. We do this by editing the default email_keyboard.xml file. I am going to walk you through this step by step. It doesn’t matter if you have never seen xml before.

First open the touchscreen editor, click on Test keyboard… and select Email keyboard.

Then left click the mouse while holding down both Shift and Ctrl keys. This lets you save the XML file and the keyboard images.

First delete the four keyboard image files from the PhotoBoothImages folder(otherwise we won’t see any any changes we make to the text prompts).

Open the email_keyboard.xml file in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad (which comes free with Windows 10)

Replace the highlighted text with this and save the changes:

<prompt1 email_address=”1″ mandatory=”1″>Please enter your email address:</prompt1>

    <text1_x>38</text1_x>

    <text1_y>170</text1_y>

    <text1_r>1882</text1_r>

    <prompt2 email_address=”1″>CC:</prompt2>

    <text2_x>38</text2_x>

    <text2_y>356</text2_y>

    <text2_r>1882</text2_r>

Note: Here the second prompt will appear below the first prompt. This is achieved by using the same x coordinate, and different y coordinates. The CC email address is optional and so prompt2 does not need the ‘mandatory’ attribute.

Two is not enough?

There is usually room on a booth or kiosk screen to add the second line above. You may find it more difficult to find space to enter three or more addresses. The screen size, orientation ( there is usually more empty space in portrait oriented mirror booths than landscape photo booths and kiosks) and the numberof characters allowed for email addresses all make a difference.

These examples in this post have been created for a screen 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. If your screen is different you may need to adjust the values you use. It is also possible (but more complicated) to change the size and position of the keyboard buttons on your screen. More details

Example 2 has space for 3 email addresses to be entered below each other. Example 3 includes 4 email addresses in 2 rows. Both are created by editing the email_keyboard.xml in the same way as before. Each time you edit the xml, use DSLR Remote Pro’s test keyboard to check whether your changes work as you expect.

Example 2: Adding two CC lines to the email keyboard

Here a third prompt has been added below the others. To fit this in above the keyboard, the y coordinates of all 3 fields have been adjusted and the size of the text reduced (DSLR Remote Pro 3.12)

Example 3:   Four email addresses on the email keyboard

In this example a single email is sent to four different addresses:

Sending images to multiple addresses from Breeze Kiosk

Use the same technique with Breeze Kiosk. Start with the default email_keyboard.xml file by (1) selecting Settings. (2) Check that sending emails is enabled, and (3) click on Test keyboard…

Then left click the mouse while holding down both Shift and Ctrl keys. This lets you save the XML file and the keyboard images. Delete the keyboard images and edit the xml in the same way as for DSLR Remote Pro.
