3.3 QuiteInsanes main window

If nothing went wrong, QuiteInsanes main window will show up. You will notice a scrollview in the middle of the window, which displays the available options. The scrollview is used to make sure that the mainwindows height doesn't grow bigger than your desktop size.You can change the appearance in the options window.

At the top of the main window you can see (from left to right):

  1. A label that displays the size in pixel and the bytesize of the image you are going to scan or the text "Imagesize: not available", if the information is not available.
  2. The obligatory "About..." button.
  3. The (also) obligatory "Help..." button.
  4. The (well, obligatory...) "What's this" button.

Beyond the first button row, you can see:

The drag label

And finally, you can see the following buttons at the bottom of the main window:

Options...

Almost all settings are made in the options window, like layout, style, documentation path and others. Your settings are saved automatically.

Viewer...

Show the internal viewer; QuiteInsane will try to load the last scanned image.

Preview...

Opens another window that allows you to do a preview scan and select the scan area by moving and scaling a selection rectangle. You can also choose between several predefined scan sizes. This button is (at least at the moment) only enabled if the device allows to set the scan area options.

Multi scan...

See the above desription of the scan modes; this button is only enabled when the scan mode "Multi scan" is chosen.

History/Browser...

Opens the history/image browser window.

Device settings...

Opens the device settings dialog. You can use it to load, save or create new settings. You can also delete entries, of course.

Scan

Well, I'm still trying to remember what this button actually does :-)
