all photos available at all times?

Postby fr378417 » Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:31 pm

Is there any way to set the app up so that people can only email themselves collages of photos they have taken. Currently it looks like you can go back and choose any picture that has been taken during the event and send it to yourself. I wouldn't want people sending themselves photos of other random guests.

No, there's no way to do this, because there is no way for the app to know which guest is using it.

I see, That's too bad. Might be a dealbreaker.

How would you expect this to work? Would you want each and every user to somehow sign in to the app, so they can only see their photos? With what credentials? And how would that work with remotes on their iphone or watch?

No I wouldnt want people to sign in every time. I am not a developer but I have used public photo booths such as "hotpoint". When you are done taking the pictures you have the option to send it to yourself, once you send it or chose to not send at all, your pictures are not available to the next user. It refreshes to the original page and starts a new session.

Yes that works in that situation because only one group of users can possibly be taking photos or doing things to the photos at one time.
With WiFi Booth that's not true: often one group of people will be taking the photos in front of the camera, and another group (who have already finished taking their photos) are at the ipad making a collage or printing etc

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback, please let me know when you have ideas or questions. It's great to understand how people think about the app.

This feature would be useful for those of us using the front facing camera. It's impossible for one group to select photos while another takes photos, so hiding the previous session wouldn't cause an issue.
