when animated, but can be distracting. The option is set by default.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Prefs | Thick crop box

This option controls whether the crop box in the Preview is drawn with a thick line or a

thin line. It's easier to see the thick line, but sometimes easier to get fine control with the

thin line. The option is set by default.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Prefs | Add extensions

This option controls whether the TIFF, JPEG, PDF, Text and Index file names

automatically have a ".tif", ".jpg", ".pdf", ".txt" or ".bmp" extension added to the file

name. This reduces the amount of typing needed when manually setting the saved file

names. No file extension will be added if the file name has a period in it. This option

is set by default.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Prefs | Substitute date

This option controls whether the TIFF, JPEG, PDF and Text file names can include the

scan date and time in the file name.

For instance, if the file name is "@.jpg", the resulting file will be

"Scan-YYMMDD-0001+.jpg" with YY substitured for the current year, MM for the current

month and DD for the current day.

Additionally, you can use YYYY for the 4-digit year, YY for the two-digit year, MM, DD,

HH, II, and SS for the month, day, hour, minute and second when the scan was started.

You need to have at least three date/time names for this to work. For instance, a file

name of MMDD.tif won't be substituted, but a file name of MMDDHH.tif will be.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Prefs | Warn on overwrite

When enabled, VueScan will display a warning message before overwriting a TIFF,

JPEG, PDF or OCR text file, and allow you to prevent the file from being overwritten.

This option is set by default.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Prefs | Warn on not ready

When enabled, VueScan will display a warning message when the scanner isn't ready

(or the raw scan file doesn't exist) and you press the Preview or Scan button.
