Hotfolder Print - want to reprint as is, no re-layout

[puhl]

Hi Chris, I wanted to use Hot Folder Print to re-print a Photobooth image from the "prints" folder. That folder has the printed layouts and I want to simply send this to the printer again for a second copy. It seems what Hotfolder expects as input is the camera's (could be 3 or 4) JPG's and the XML to do the formatting again. Can I simply reprint the processed layout?

Thanks
Peter

Kiosk would probably serve your purpose better..?

HFPs can't just print the photo. It works by monitoring the hot folder for new JPEG images (or a photo booth XML file), formats one or more photos on a page and then prints and/or saves a JPEG copy of the print layout.
You could set it up to monitor the folder where the original photos are downloaded from the photo booth and format and print these instead of monitoring the prints subfolder. This would allow you to use a different print layout or printer from the photo booth if you wanted to.
