Breeze Hotfolder Prints 1.8 (released on Monday) includes a new Gallery Uploader, and the ability to add logos to prints.
What is Breeze Hotfolder?
Hotfolder is a suite of invaluable tools for event photographers and photo booth operators. From tools that help format images, to specialist hashtag monitors and image uploaders, each tool is designed to save the user time and stress when it comes to managing a large batch of images.
Hotfolder monitors a folder for incoming images (JPEG and PNG), then automatically formats them for printing, saving and/or emailing. Images can be sourced from a tethered camera, a cloud drive (Dropbox etc), shared network folder or a folder on your PC.
New Gallery Uploader
Realtime uploading of photos, GIFs and videos to online sharing galleries
- Supports upload to Photobooth Online Gallerie* & Hula Gallery
- Supports upload to custom galleries using HTTPS POST
*Photobooth Online Gallerie’s German site
Add logos to print layouts
Logos provide a quick and easy way to add graphics to prints without using an image editor such as Photoshop. PNG and JPEG logos can be imported, moved, resized and rotated just like photos in the print layout.
For a quick video tour of the Print Layout Editor look here. NB To find Hotfolder’s Print layout editor start the program, go to Preferences, then select Custom Layout Settings.
New tokens
- {dateLess8h} prints today’s date less 8 hours
- {captionNoURL} is used for extracting Twitter captions without the trailing URL
Why ‘date less 8 hours’? Use this token when events run past midnight, but you don’t want the images created after midnight to be stored under a different date.
SmugMug Uploader improvements
- Improved handling of login access tokens
- New option to save settings to file
