Support DropBox/WIndows synced folders for images (via custom file/folder paths). As it is now, the image is saved by MaxIm but then opened back up in PinPoint for addition of FITS fields, etc. This causes a race condition with DropBox syncing that can cause occasional "Imaging Error: File is Locked" errors and failure of the script.

The idea is to save the image from MaxIm to a temporary location, open it in PinPoint from there and do whatever else, detach from PinPoint, then move it to the final place. Will have to look at the final place to detect duplicate file names, but this should be fine with a DropBox synced folder. It's my understanding that moving into the mapped/synced folder will always succeed even if DropBox is off the net. Test this!
