Brilliant idea. I will let a local ESL organization know about this.

i think the idea of saving a pdf to a different directory would make even more sense since that would remove the confusion of why the file couldnt be re-opened and edited by SC.Great!
let me start by adding a button for it, and then we can talk about tweaking the feature.-mouser (July 27, 2009, 08:00 PM)
can you explain the idea of TWAIN/WIA on or off being in toolbar button?-mouser (July 27, 2009, 05:22 PM)
i was going to do that but ran into a small problem.
SC relies on the windows shell to show thumbnails of screenshots in the left side panel.
for many (most?all?) people (does it require a special extension?), the windows shell will not show a thumbnail image of a pdf file. that means that if SC saved your scan as a pdf, you wouldn't actually see a preview of it in the left sidebar, just a generic adobe icon.
worse, once saved as PDF, SC cannot re-open a previously saved PDF and edit it (such a thing might be possible to add eventually but not without much work).
so in short, using PDF as the default image file format for scans is not something SC can do currently.
the best i can do in the sort term is making it really easy to save a copy of an image in PDF form, or to save a collection of images as a pdf multi-page document.-mouser (July 27, 2009, 06:47 PM)
not true -- the way SC works is it does NOT re-query the list of available scanners until you hit scan, and it doesnt update the options list until you re-select from the TWAIN/WIA dropdown.My apologies. Apparently I didn't realize that the scanner list changed depending on whether TWAIN or WIA was selected.I'd like a keyboard shortcut for scanning.Again, my apologies.
already exists, go into hotkey options and set one.Do I understand correctly that Acquire image from scanner (Dialog toggled) does the opposite of whatever is selected in the scanning options? That is, if Show and use native scanner dialog is selected, then the dialog will not be selected when using Dialog toggled? That had (or perhaps has) me confused.Since I have it right I guess I don't understand why you don't either
you have it right; i know its a bit confusing, but you do have it right.
(a)have two buttons/menu options: Scan directly from SC and Scan using TWAIN/WIA (and say Scan rather than the verbose Acquire image from scanner; I thought Acquire technically meant scan using TWAIN).
(b)one Scan button with hotkey toggle.-mouser (July 27, 2009, 05:20 PM)-mouser (July 27, 2009, 05:20 PM)-mouser (July 27, 2009, 05:19 PM)
The button might be nice but PDF should definitely be added to the option in Override Screenshot File Format.you can already do a Save As and save a screenshot as PDF.
since it seems like such a common thing people would want to do, i was thinking of adding a button to the scanner toolbar to say Save as PDF; i was also thinking of making it so you could select multiple images from the thumbnail panel and it would save them all to one pdf multi-page document.-mouser (July 27, 2009, 05:22 PM)
So, are we calling this one done for the time being?I think so.-skwire (May 11, 2009, 10:13 AM)
Apologies for the delay.Well, with the high prices I'm paying I'm shocked that you would take a few minutes off for dinner or something.-skwire (May 10, 2009, 09:05 PM)
With a properly formatted CSV file, you can have commas in the data bits. Give the above version a try; it should handle commas just fine.It works great. Shows how little I know.-skwire (May 10, 2009, 04:32 PM)
How about an export to CSV option?Since some of my artist names already have commas this wouldn't work properly for me. Some items would be fine and others would have three columns, for example:-skwire (May 10, 2009, 03:42 PM)
is it me or is there really spam on longrun's sig?It's you. It's a joke, maybe a bad one, with no link or commercial purpose. Now if you would actually like to enlarge your prostate and not some other body part perhaps I should post a link.

Done with the proper values, a video in the mp4 formats (e.g. DivX) ought to be quite a bit smaller than .mpg.Thanks. Will DivX play automatically on Win/Mac w/o codec downloads or whatever? My relatives barely know how to turn on their computers. I've read about HandBrake and SUPER but wanted feedback on formats before proceeding further.-CWuestefeld (March 01, 2009, 08:25 PM)
