App settings

Settings for ImgCatch

  • Frame Rate:

    The frame rate for the video capture. This can be set in the settings page.

    • Shortcut Action Sequence:

    You can create a custom sequence of actions for the app to perform when you click "Start Shortcut Sequence". Each action is represented by a letter that corresponds to a keyboard shortcut action. Actions should be separated by commas. If you insert a number, the program will wait that many seconds before executing the next action in the list. For example, "c,3,c,s,f" would capture images, wait 3 seconds, capture more images, save the images, and then upload them.

  • Destination URL:

    The URL to which the images will be uploaded to. The images are sent as a PUT request to the specified URL. The request includes the image data as the payload and the Content-Type header set to multipart/form-data.

    Note: The destination URL should be a pre-signed URL if you're uploading to an Amazon S3 bucket.

  • Save images as zip file:

    If this box is checked in the settings, the images will be saved as a zip file. Otherwise, they will be saved as individual photos. Photos are saved with their filename including the date in ISO format (ISO 8601), which is always 24 or 27 characters long (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or ±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, respectively). The timezone is always zero UTC offset, as denoted by the suffix "Z".
