Powerful, surprisingly simple, logical. In this video tutorial Steve introduces Breeze tokens and explains how they can be your new best friend.
Steve takes you through how to
- Make life easier for your staff setting up events
- Make life simpler – automate folder naming for different events
- Collect data about guest choices for corporate clients
- Group images by team name, zip code or other attribute chosen by your client
- Automatically group images into different folders based on response to survey questions
- GDPR/ privacy – split images into different folders based on guest consent
- GDPR/privacy – label images to show whether guests consent to using them for different uses
This tutorial focuses on DSLR Remote Pro 3.11.1 . Breeze tokens can also be used in Breeze Booth for iPad, DSLR Remote Pro Multi-Camera, Hotfolder Prints, Breeze Kiosk and Webcam Photobooth.
The following notes are intended as a quick reference to some of the details in the video.
Event tokens are special tokens which can be shared between different Breeze programs running on the same PC. They include the event name {eventName} , and several print counters.
Note: Tokens are case sensitive.
Print layouts
Tokens can be used to print information like today’s date less 8 hours {dateLess8h}) without editing the print layout each time it is used.
Why ‘date less 8 hours’? Use when events run past midnight, but you don’t want the images created after midnight to be stored under a different date. If your booths are always fast asleep before midnight you can use %d or %L token instead
Print template names
{printTemplateName} can be used in the folder path for images captured at an event.
Combining tokens with profiles
{photoboothSubdir} can be used to sort images into folders based on guest choices
Tokens for data collection surveys
DSLR Remote Pro surveys can have multiple screens each with multiple questions
{survey1_text1} stores the text a guest enters in response to the first question on the first survey screen
Information screens containing detailed information such as a Privacy Statement ot Terms and Conditions can also be added in DSLR Remote Pro 3.11.1 and later releases.
Tokens for check box surveys
In this example {survey1_chkbox1} will contain the value 1 if the first box (live feed) is checked, or 0 if it is not checked.
{survey1_chkbox2} will contain the value 1 if the second box (use for advertising) is checked, or 0 if it is not checked.
Check box surveys can also have multiple questions over several screens.
Friendly names for folders and images based on check box surveys

For a full list of tokens see the help files for each program:
Print counters : DSLR Remote Pro 3.11 introduces tokens for accessing the print counters : {printQuotaUsed},{printCounterEvent} and {printCounterLocal}. Print counters can be used to automate a photo booth with a fixed print quota e.g. by loading a “share only” profile when the print quota has been used.. They can also be displayed in print captions.
