3.4 QuiteInsanes multi scan window

If you select the scan mode Multi scan, the multi scan window is shown. It allows you to do many things with a minimum of interaction:

  1. Scanning one or more image(s) at a time; this is especially useful, if your scanner supports an automatic document feeder (ADF).
  2. Saving the images with automatic filename generation.
  3. Starting OCR on the scanned images; the filenames of the textfiles are auto-generated.
  4. Printing of the scanned images.
  5. Dragging one or more image-/textfile(s) to other applications.
A little WARNING again:
This mode might cause trouble if you are using a parallel port scanner, which shares the port with a printer. If you are using such a scanner, either don't print the images or scan and print only one image and wait until printing has finished before you scan the next image.

Here's a short description of the available settings:

Number
The number of images you want to scan.
ADF
QuiteInsane will scan until the document feeder is out of documents.
Confirm scan
If you select this checkbox, a dialog will be shown, asking you whether you want to proceed with the next scan. This is useful, if you have to change the document manually because you don't have an ADF scanner or if your ADF scanner can't eject the document automatically. Please note, that QuiteInsane can't detect, whether your scanner supports an automatic document feeder. It's up to you to enable the ADF mode, before you start scanning.
Save images
Activate this checkbox if you want to save the images. The filenames are generated automatically.
OCR/Save text
Activate this checkbox if you want to start optical character recognition after the scan. The filenames of the text files are generated automatically.
Print images
Activate this checkbox if you want to print the images. If your printer isn't setup, the print-dialog will appear.
Use own resolution settings
Use the resolution settings from the print-dialog instead of the real image resolution.
Automatic filename generation
If you are printing to a file, the filenames are generated automatically.
Setup printer
Click this button to change your printer-setup.
Print to file:
Displays the filename that is used when you are printing to a file. You can also modify the filename. You modifications are passed to the print-dialog.

Folder
Shows in which folder the scanned images are saved. Click the button on the right side of the label to change the folder.
Filename template
Shows the template for the filename, which is used to generate the filenames. An increasing number and a filename extension are automatically appended to the filename template. The filename extension depends on the chosen image type. Click on the "..." button to change the filename template.
Image type
The combobox shows the available image formats. The filename extension depends on the chosen format. E.g. if you have chosen the "JPEG" format the extension is ".jpg".
Setup button
Use this button to adjust the compression/quality for those image formats, that support it.
File scrollview
The scrollview shows the already saved files that fit the filename template. Doubleclick on a filename to open the image with the internal viewer. You can also simply drag one or more file(s) to other applications.
Delete button
Click this button to delete the currently highlighted file.

The functionality of the text list is almost similar to the image list. The only difference is, that you can't choose the compression/quality.
