|
|
|
|
<para>The method for saving an image is somewhat different in &kooka;
|
|
than in many other applications. Click the
|
|
<guilabel>Gallery</guilabel> tab to open a small file browser. This is
|
|
the folder <filename
|
|
class="directory">~/.kde/share/apps/ScanImages/</filename> In the
|
|
lower portion of the window, your current subfolder in the gallery
|
|
is shown. This is where all scanned images are first saved as
|
|
files. When starting &kooka; for the first time, you will only see the
|
|
<filename class="directory">ScanImages</filename>. Create
|
|
subfolders by <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking this
|
|
folder. The selected folder, highlighted in blue, is the first save
|
|
location of the scanned images. The scans are labeled in ascending
|
|
numerical order as in <filename>kscan_0001</filename> and
|
|
<filename>kscan_0002</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To save an image permanently, <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
|
|
click the name. Next, give a new name and the appropriate ending for
|
|
the image format chosen when scanning. If you enter a different
|
|
extension, you will get a message that it does not correspond to the
|
|
scanned format. Although you can still save the image under this name,
|
|
it will retain its original format. At present,
|
|
<quote>On-the-fly</quote> conversion is not offered.</para
|
|
|
|
><para>If you do not want to use this method of managing your images
|
|
in <filename
|
|
class="directory">~/.kde/share/apps/ScanImages/</filename>, you can,
|
|
of course, save them to another location. To do this,
|
|
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click the
|
|
image name and select <guilabel>Save</guilabel>. Choose any path
|
|
here. In addition, close or permanently delete images here.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To incorporate other images in the gallery, add them in
|
|
&konqueror; by dragging and dropping. Open &konqueror; to the
|
|
folder containing the desired images. Then add them to the &kooka;
|
|
gallery by dragging them and dropping them into the gallery.</para>

<para>As already mentioned, the <application>gocr</application> must
|
|
be installed. Scan a preview of your document in grayscale or

color. You can only scan in binary mode if you have a pure white sheet

of paper with black print. Next, highlight the text to be recognized

first try, do not change the default settings shown in the emerging

most needs. Now click <guimenuitem>Start character
