This also affects the units displayed in the status area at the bottom of the VueScan
window.
Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.
Prefs | External viewer
Setting this option to "Folder" will open a window at the end of the scan showing the
contents of the folder where the file is written. On Windows, this opens an explorer
window, on Mac OS X this opens a finder window and on Linux, this uses xdg-open to
open a window.
Setting this option to "Viewer" starts a program to display the image. On Windows and
Mac OS X, this is the same program that starts up when you double-click on the file.
On Linux, this uses xdg-open to view the file.
Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
Prefs | Viewer
If the Prefs | External viewer (p. 94)option is set to "Viewer", the specified program will
be started with each cropped image upon completion of a scan.
The default value is "default".
On Windows, if the viewer name is "default", the file association for this type of file will
be used. You can also put command-line options after the name of the viewer (e.g.
"vuepro32 /fillwindow" to display images without a window frame with VuePrint). If the
name of the viewer has "%1" after it (e.g. vuepro32 "%1"), the file name will be
substituted at that point. If you use the %1 argument on the command line, be sure to
put double-quotes around it, otherwise file names that have embedded spaces won't
work.
On Linux, the viewer name can have command-line options after it, and the file name
will be appended to the end of the command-line before it's run.
On Mac OS X, the files will start in the same application that would start if you
double-click on the files.
On Mac OS X, you can set up the default viewer for a type of file by clicking on an
image, choosing "File | Show info", choosing "Open with application", selecting an
application, and then choosing "Change all".
Advanced Option: This option is displayed whenPrefs | External viewer (p. 94) is set to
"Viewer".
Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
Prefs | Editor
If the "External viewer" option is enabled, the specified program will be started with
each OCR text file at the completion of a scan.
