Finding scanned material

Asked by Sandy Voyce

I am trying to scan some material/photos. I go thru the motions to scan but unable to find the scanned material once it scans onto the computer. Any hints?

Please try to use the terminal "find" command.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type, for example, to find all .tif files:

find . | grep -i .tif

or

find . | grep -i .tif | less

to get better output one page a time, press the "space bar" to go to the next page "q" to quit

If you go to the Options menu of the scanner there has to be an option where to save the files or at least should be a default directory for this.

I think you have wrote into terminale something strange so please...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type, for example, to find all .tif files:

Copy from here and paste into terminal the row below.

find . | grep -i .tif

then press enter

and do the same for this row:

find . | grep -i .tif | less

to get better output one page a time, press the "space bar" to go to the next page "q" to quit

Hope this helps

in the option/preferences menu one can also look the default image file format, or chose a different one. If the scanner is activated by another program as gimp, ooo and so on, saving folder is the default one of the other prog, not the one of xsane.

Can you help with this problem?
