Input via Easy Loader
This provides the Windows Explorer interface in an OmniPage
window. In Flexible and Quick Views it appears by default. Choose
Easy Loader in the Window menu to add it to Classic View or to
show or hide it in other views. It lets you browse your whole file
system and efficiently select files to be loaded into OmniPage.
Choose Process / Easy Loader / Folder to view files as Lists,
Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons (arranged as desired) or Details, as you do
in Explorer. The Loader can remain displayed as you work.
Easy Loader is driven from the Process menu.
Instead of sel
ecting
files to send them straight to OmniPage you can choose Queue
Window to get a dialog box with a lock. Turn the lock on to build
up and re-order a list of files, maybe coming from different folders.
The lock applies to all files collected to enter the currently open
document. When the list is ready, turn the lock off to start loading.
If the lock is off from the start, files are listed only if they are
selected faster than OmniPage can load them. Practically, you can
load a few files, send them to recognition and while that is
underway, build up the rest of the input list.
Turning on the menu item Show/hide Queue Window automaticall
y
causes the window to appear whenever files are
listed but not yet
loaded and to be closed as soon as the list is empty.
Easy Loader can be used in Classic and Flexible Views to
compile
file
s for multiple documents. Engage the lock, make document 1
active and collect files. Then make document 2 active and collect its
files, and so on. When all is ready, remove the lock. Each document
has its own lock, but the Process menu offers Lock all and Unlock all
to lock or release all files destined for all documents. You can
remove selected files with Delete, or all files in the current
document’s list with Delete All or Clear in the Process menu. Use
Clear all to clear all files destined for all open documents. See a
tutorial in Help on loading files for multiple documents.
