I've recently built a photobooth, and I'm using NKRemote I've run into an issue, and I wanted to know if any of you encountered something similar...
I'm using an Acer Aspire 1 Netbook, Nikon D300 / SB-600, Sony UP-CX1 printer, Stealth Switch (1, not 2)
Here's what happens: Sometimes (infrequently), the program will abruptly "disappear" after the first shot in full-screen photobooth mode. The camera still reports "PC", as if it's connected. I suspect that the problem may not actually be NKRemote, but perhaps the Stealth Switch forcibly "cloaking" it.
I check the task manager, which doesn't indicate the NKRemote is running. However, the camera still reports PC...
I ran my booth on it's first trip this weekend. At one point, it would "die" after the first shot in the series each time. I rebooted the netbook, but the problem reoccurred. In desperation, I dropped full screen mode and just used F4 to launch manually. It worked just fine. Later in the evening, I switched back to full screen once more.
I suspect that the problem may be when people would "mash" the Stealth Switch repeatedly. Any thoughts on what may be my trouble?
Oh, one usability suggestion: My netbook and external monitor run different resolutions. To make it work right, I have to switch to the external (so I'm staring at a black screen), then switch to full screen mode by keyboard shortcut. Perhaps an option to "launch full-screen on second monitor"
