no, there will be no preview option;
sc will let you use the scanner's native dialog when you want to do that, or when you want more control.

Note:

The scanner toolbar rotation system is going to have to be completely rewritten -- right now the rotate left and right buttons nudge it nicely, but they are lossy, and so after repeated nudge rotations, the image gets distorted.

The only solution is to let you rotate it till you get it how you want it and they click to Apply; i'll work on that later.

its not obeying color setting yet.
scanner bed color -- can't think why you wouldnt be able to change that.. but if you have it set to auto detect, it may keep reverting each scan.
removal of background color depends on scan bed color and tolerance, so play with those.

one of the programs like SmartDraw or Visio, etc. may have a bunch of road/map marker type things that could help the task.

If anyone wants to try the really early preliminary scanner support:
https://www.donation...nshotCaptorSetup.exe

Not yet working is:
  • Color mode selection
  • File type overide

Needing improvement is:
  • Scanner toolbar (will eventually support various rotations, more quick options, image enhancement)
  • Progress display
  • Additional scanner options
  • Live preview with cancel
  • Rotation system -- needs to be made non-lossy

Let me know if your scanner is detected and works.
Let me know if it works better under TWAIN or WIA (both are supported; twain is much faster on my scanner).

The scanner features are well on their way to being integrated; i'd guess we'll have fully implemented scanner functionality by next week.

The additional scanner toolbar buttons/menu will only be shown if you have configured a scanner, so for those who dont want to use SC for scanner stuff, you won't notice any difference in your SC.

Regarding requesting an "Open" option..
Screenshot Captor insists on working within a given directory.. so you can can either:
  • 1. Change the screenshot directory to where your file is (from File menu)
  • 2. Or drag and drop your image into the screenshot directory thumbnail view panel (which will copy it to current screenshot directory)

Now i could add a new File menu item that did #1 or #2 and then auto selected the image, if that would speed things up? Which would be better, #1 or #2?

« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2009, 01:05 PM »
do you mean you want it to auto-hide until you move your mouse cursor over the area?

if so, then open up the configuration/options dialog and select your dock on the left, and then choose AutoHide or AutoSlide in the "Docking Preferences" box:

on a new install, dont be fooled by the full looking folder of plugins.. these are just placeholders to help the updater show you which plugins you can get.  no plugins are installed by default.

Screenshot Captor / New scanner features for Screenshot Captor
« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2009, 03:36 AM »
I was thinking of adding some scanning features to the program, only because the main functions for it already exist in the image library i use (ImageEn).

Anyone think this is worth the effort?

If i did add it, i wouldn't try to be a do-everything scanning tool, it would be focused on minimal-interaction repeated scanning.
So I would basically take the following approach:
  • 1. User could call up a scanner configuration dialog where they would could choose their scanner and the scanning options (resolution, format, etc.)
  • 2. Then a quick toolbar button or hotkey to scan a new image and autosave/name it, using the current options, just like when taking screenshots.
  • 3. Maybe add a button for straightening scanned images since thats probably most common action one may want to do.

so, is this worth adding?

Reasons it might be worth adding:
  • SC is well set up for doing lots of scans with minimal interaction
  • SC is well set up for working with images in external tools and doing common things like adding arrows, blacking out sensitive areas, converting formats, dragging+dropping, and printing.

Reasons it might not be worth adding:
  • There are already a lot of scanner utilities that offer all kinds of extra functionality, and no one would want to use SC instead of these tools.

Thoughts?

#2 is not a bug, but working as designed (you are matching the name first).
as for #1, can you try again with latest download -- it works for me (maybe paste me your 2 aliases if it's still not working).
