Save stills

by jelen » Wed Mar 11, 2015 7:08 pm

Hello,

Is it possible to add a "save still" option in the action tab?
I think this is rather easy as an image is already generated for the "e-mail" option.
It would be nice if format placeholders could be used to define the path and filename of the generated stills.

This gives quite some possibilities like:
- one can make an IFTTT recipe for setting a still of the last triggered rule as a background image on your phone (reading always the same file from dropbox or ftp for example)
- archiveing stills from all triggered events without needing lots of space for clips.
- ...

kind regards.

This feature would make so much sense. You have the still for the email so be good if you could save it locally

Just to say I wrote a quick application on Windows to fake the SMTP server. I tell Sighthound to use that email smtp server and then save the attachment to a local folder. It's working really well as then I can do whatever I want with the image and going to add Pushbullet functionality next (or folder support).

If anyone interested in code and if I'm allowed I can put it up in Github.
