Scanning Ideas

In the scanning window in standard mode I would like to be able to move buttons between toolbars and move the toolbars themselves, The toolbars that are above and below the image in the image pane. Also would like an option to always fit the image to the window

Do you mind describing how you'd like your buttons arranged and why? We grouped them by functionality.

It would be more user friendly to have the rotate image buttons and the page forward and backward buttons next to each other. In Laser 7 they were located in the top toolbar and you could arrange them that way, now in Laser 8 the rotate image buttons are located in their own toolbar above the images and the page forward and back is located in its own toolbar at the bottom of the image pane. This makes the user have to go from bottom to top of the image pane to use them. When working in a document that has photos and maps mixed in with text pages you need to be able to rotate them as you go through the document. Now it’s seems clunky and time consuming to always be going up and down with your mouse to use these options instead of having them right next to each other.

Thanks for explaining your use case. Have you tried using the thumbnail view to quickly select all pages that are oriented wrong and rotate them as a group?

Yes, I have tried that, and using the rotate buttons it only rotates the page showing in the image pane no matter how many thumbnails you have selected. The only way to rotate multiple pages by thumbnail in the scanning window is to highlight them then right click and choose to rotate left or right. But if you need to rotate a page or pages multiple times you have to right click each time to bring up the option whereas if you could just use the buttons in the toolbar you could just keep clicking until the page or pages were oriented correctly. But if you are working in a document that has 100 pages or so and you need to rotate non consecutive pages then this really does not help. When checking your scans you need to see them in the image pane to make sure all items are readable so in doing this page through you are also rotating any pages that need it and therefore the rotate buttons would be better placed right next to the page through buttons.
