        I would like to drop some thoughts of possible future enhancement requests for next releases of Hot Folder Prints:
        
        - Export monitored images to a video file (mp4, mov, mpg, etc). Will be great to have different overlays for each photo
        - As we operating our photobooth with many HFP windows open, it will be very helpful if the xml filename is mentioned in the title bar of the window.
        - Have a file -> save or save as option, instead of the save button
        - The folder monitored to be save to the xml settings file
        
        Thanks

        Thanks for the suggestions.
        
        I think exporting the files to a video file is beyond the scope of Hotfolder Prints. You could use Hotfolder Prints to run a command or script to invoke another application to create movie files.
        
        Hotfolder Prints displays the path of the folder being monitored in the window title. If each profile uses a different folder and these are named accordingly then the path can be used to identify each copy of Hotfolder Prints. I don't think it makes sense to display the path of the XML file because Hotfolder Prints doesn't really have a concept of a current XML document. It simply loads the settings from the XML file.
        
        I'd prefer to keep the load/save options in the preferences dialog so that you can see the changes they make.
        
        The folder being monitored is already saved in the XML file.
