Control only over Touchscreen? #132

Thank you for providing this really nice photobooth software.

1) I build a photobooth with a 15" LED Monitor connected via Hdmi to my Raspberry Pi. As camera I used the Pi cam. After I installed the software and tested it a little bit I noticed the the "print" and "startover" button is only usable with a mouse or a touchscreen. Is that the case or maybe I missed something? It would be the most beautiful when I could manage it also with the two GPIO Buttons.

2) My second question is about the camery preview, it is quite laggy ( 2-3 FPS ) What could that be? As I said I use the picam 2.1 and a fesh installed Raspbian Stretch with desktop. I tested also another photobooth software with this setup and the peview was like a live picture.

Anyway this software and handling is the best I tried yet.

Best Regards

Thank you for your feedback.

  1. is a popular request but something that I don't find time for at the moment. See #44. If you don't have a touch screen, you can make printing automatic (i.e. do not ask for confirmation) and change postprocessing time to 0 seconds.
  2. This is actually due to the low performance of the RasPi processor. If I find the time I will look into that issue in the near future, probably by reducing the resolution of preview images. The laggy preview is even there when using the CameraDummy module, i.e. when using simple single color images.
