ScanTek Manual CONTENTSPREVNEXTHOME


 Menu Item Settings/Dir Paths/Scanned Pics...

 After selecting this menu item a directory requester opens and let you
 set the default directory path, where scanned images are written to.

 Caution: As a default the directory path is initialised with PROGDIR:
          This is a relative directory path and not an absolute path.

          If you use PROGDIR: as the path to save your scanned images and
          you want this image immediately displayed with an external viewer,
          then this may not work.

          You run into trouble because each executed program has its
          own PROGDIR: value.

          The following example should explain this problem:
          We assume that the program Scantek is located in the directory
          Work:ScanTek and VT in the directory Work:graphic/viewer.
          Furthermore we assume that you save your scanned image to
          PROGDIR:Image.iff

          ScanTek PROGDIR: --> Saved to Work:Scantek/Image.iff
          VT      PROGDIR: --> Assumed at Work:graphic/viewer/Image.iff

          The programs interpret PROGDIR: in their own way!
