Add an ability for Irfanview to trigger a webcam to take a still picture.
Use cases:
The initial version could be limited to cameras that support UVC drivers (windows plug and play) and then selected specialist camera with drivers supported and additional camera control features (e.g. professional videology photo id, DSLR, USB video adapters, cameras on flexible cables that can be inserted into small spaces).
Not worth supporting older lower res camera that need a driver install.
I would also not bother supporting video capture.
Yes, you can use external camera applications on Windows and save the picture to later process in Irfanview but that is an extra step.
Use cases:
- For "selfies"
- as an alternative to a document scanner (one page at a time, with an ability to build up a multi-page image manually (for later saving as multipage JPG, TIFF, PDF, or as animated GIF).
- For close up pictures (external web cam)
