The General Tab: Event Name, Rotation, and Licence Info

A few more settings live on Admin Panel -> Options -> General, alongside Secondary Display, Light Ring, and Remote Keyfob status covered separately – see Setting Up a Keyfob.

Event name

Free text, but it does two jobs at once: it’s the folder name your photos save under locally, and it’s what identifies this event’s online gallery in your Dashboard. Characters Windows doesn’t allow in folder names are silently removed as you type, with no warning.

Admin Panel -> Options -> General, showing the Event Name field

Selection screen timeout

This is an on/off switch, not a duration field, despite sitting next to two duration settings. When it’s on, 30 seconds of no interaction on the Selection screen resets the session back to the start – that 30 seconds isn’t adjustable.

Admin Panel -> Options -> General, showing Selection Screen Timeout and Preview Delay

Preview delay

Controls how long the post-capture Preview screen waits before automatically moving on, when that step has no visible Continue button (3 seconds if you don’t set one).

Admin Panel -> Options -> General, showing Selection Screen Timeout and Preview Delay

Camera rotation

A list of 16 rotation/flip combinations to match your camera’s physical orientation. A few entries are equivalent to each other under a different name – if your captured photos come out the wrong way round, try a different option from the list until it looks right.

Admin Panel -> Options -> General, showing Camera Rotation

Reprint button position and colour

Choose which side of the screen the reprint button appears on, and set a colour that stands out against your background. Tapping it reprints the last photo taken – you can also trigger this with the “Reprint Last Photo” keyboard shortcut, configured under Triggers -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Admin Panel -> Options -> General, showing the Reprint button position and colour

Licence and Premium status

These fields are read-only and only update when the app starts, not live while you’re looking at this screen. This block also shows whether a Light Ring or Remote Keyfob is currently detected – see Setting Up a Keyfob for what the Keyfob one means.

Your Licence key is generated automatically by this specific machine. To move from a trial to a full licence, purchase a Booth Junkie Licence from our website and enter this exact key at checkout – that links your purchase to this machine, and Licence type/expiry will update the next time the app starts.

Licence type shows either Trial Licence or Full Licence. Licence expiry shows the date your licence ends, or “Lifetime Licence” for a full licence.
