Auto Loading of Filename when editing a tiff or other file
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 11:08 pm
Hi,
We are using PaperScan for cropping thousands of tiffs that were scanned some years ago. It would be great when we load the tiff into PaperScan, if it would auto load the filename as well, so that we don't have to manually re-enter or copy/paste the filename...
Here are some images to help you get the idea. Here is how we are using Paperscan to edit and crop existing images. Partial view of existing images is on the right...
Once we drag an image into the left portion of the work area (where thumbnails are displayed), it is opened by Paperscan:
We proceed to do some cropping to the pages of the multi-page TIFF:
When done cropping, I would like to save the image to a DIFFERENT location, but UNFORTUNATELY, the filename has to be MANUALLY typed or copied in, wasting time, and enabling typing errors...
I think automatically loading the filename would be a great feature, and you could add a check box in the SETTINGS (Under Saving options>Miscellaneous) that would correspond to this functionality. It could be titled, "Load filename when editing existing files."
Thanks much for your consideration. So far I have enjoyed using Paperscan, and think this feature would be helpful to many others besides myself...
