DPlngScan

The icon bar icon and icon bar icon menu


The iconbar icon

Mouse clicks

Once the program is installed on the icon bar, clicking on the icon bar icon with the Select (left) button will open a window. This window is used to display images being manipulated, to set the area of pages to be scanned, and the position on the page of images being printed.

Clicking on the icon bar icon with the Adjust (right) button will open the configuration or choices window. This allows you to set up the way the program works. Further details can be found in the Choices page.

Clicking on the icon bar icon with the Menu (middle) button will open the icon bar icon menu (see below).

Drags to the iconbar icon

If a file containing an image that DPlngScan understands is dragged to the iconbar icon the main image display window will open showing the image. The way the image is displayed depends on settings found in the General section of Choices. If autoscaling (zooming) of the image is set, then DPlngScan will display the image at a scale suitable to show all the image onscreen. If not set, then the image will be displayed at 100% zoom in the default window.

If a jpeg file is dragged to the iconbar icon with the Control key held down, the image will not be displayed. Instead the jpeg file will be searched for exif metadata and the results will be written to a text file that will be opened in the configured text editor. If the jpeg file is dragged to the iconbar icon with both Control and Shift keys held down, a verbose output will be produced with more detail. More information can be found here.
