Fixed a problem reading <user2_data> to <user9_data> tags from the XML summary file written by our photo booth software
Now doesn't run the optional command if it contains {user_data} tokens which aren't present in the XML summary file (this prevents an error window being displayed when users choose not to email images in the photo booth software).

Now reads multiple user data fields (e.g. names and email addresses) from XML files written by Breeze Systems' photobooth software when using the touchscreen keyboard option
Rewritten the email_image.exe utility to run as a Windows app to avoid having a Command Prompt window popping up when it is run. The email_image.exe utility now has a debug mode, the option to retry if sending the email fails and a send test email button to help with setting it up.
