Hi Chris

Would it be possible to have a keyboard shortcut that will cycle through the profiles please..?
e.g. profile1, profile2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3,...

just to clarify..

a single keyboard shortcut that 'cycles' through the profiles in the same way as b cycles through number of copies.

I would like to be able to cycle through them using a stealth switch.

There are a couple of ways you could do this:

1) Define a profile using the {photoboothDir} token e.g. {photoboothDir}\next.xml. Then store the settings for the next profile in the photobooth images folder for the current profile and name it next.xml. The next.xml file in the last photobooth images folder should take you back to the first folder to complete the loop. Each time the keyboard shortcut for the profile is pressed it will load the next.xml settings in the current photobooth images folder and this can be used to change the photobooth images folder to the next folder.

2) Write an AutoHotKey script which either increments a counter and uses this to select the keyboard shortcut to load the next profile. Alternatively the script could monitor the path of the photobooth images folder and use this todecide which profile to load next.
