As of update 5.8.0.9, Ken has add a new macro to Blue Iris - &IMAGE_PATH

When you use this macro in a camera-specific Blue Iris Action, the current image of the camera is saved to the following folder:

An example use of this new macro is described in Send Pushover notifications with a CURRENT image of the camera.

If you find that the Pushover notification is not working, then check the size of the JPG file in the ProgramData folder shown in post #1.

If the file is over 2.5MB, it will be rejected by the Pushover API (source).

Does this affect your pushover powershell script at all? I imagine it's still doing my resizing for me.

I know Ken is a busy dude, but I wish we could see these detailed changes in each update besides what's in the major point release. :)

If you are asking about my pushover_resize script, then the answer is 'No'.
The resize script deals with alert images that are created by Blue Iris.

The newer pushover_snapshot script deals with current images that are created on-demand.

Ken appears to regard user-requested changes (like the new &IMAGE_PATH macro) collectively as 'other minor changes'. I don't know what his threshold is for mentioning a change in the ‘Update notes’ section of the Help PDF, or on the Recent Features list in the Blue Iris website. This is why a number us post here a description of 'minor' changes we've either requested, or encountered.
