1.0 Bugs about "Acquire into (TWAIN)..."

Post by BeCool »

Hi to all!
I had reported some bugs and improvement requests about "Acquire into" in French section
I tried to translate a part.

One point could be interesting : if any reader try to reproduce -or not- at least the first bug, in same configuration, then in others (others version/arch/OS)

viewtopic.php?f=83&t=43530
1.0 BUG Acquérir dans ... "Index Début" inopérant
in English 1.0 BUG "Acquire into ..." "Start Index" Not working

In the command Batch acquire "Acquire into (TWAIN)..."
filenames doesn't respect the specification of "Start Index", unlike XnView Classic in which it works well.
If Filename = "Prefix",
first scan will be named "Prefix",
following scan will be named "Prefix_1",
following scan will be named "Prefix_2",
and so on
Expected behaviour: If Filename = "Prefix", "Start Index" = 1, scan should be Prefix1, Prefix2, Prefix3, etc.

Then you may have look to further bugs :

BC.2022-2)
viewtopic.php?f=83&t=43531
In the command Batch acquire "Acquire into (TWAIN)..."
is missing the choice "digit(s)" giving the minimum numbers of digits for the index, like in XnView Classic
So, if you scan more than 10 files, you will not have displayed scan number 2 to 9 after scan 10 to 19

Bug of translation in french
Entitled "folder based on current date" is false. must be "SUBfolder"
Could be checked in other languages

BC.2022-4)
viewtopic.php?f=83&t=43533
In the command Batch acquire "Acquire into (TWAIN)..."
the name of "subfolder based on current date" is YYMMDD
XnViewMp should, like XnView Classic does, follow ISO 8601 and name the folder YYYY-MM-DD
In comments, see the bibliography about this standard, and an example in a Unix shell terminal how to simply get this date format. Find the corresponding library in your programming environment.

Improvement
In the command Batch acquire "Acquire into (TWAIN)..."
Entitled "Filename" is false, misleading, confusing. It will NOT give the filename, only part of it, the beginning.
A good designation will be"Filename Prefix"

BC.2022-6)
viewtopic.php?f=83&t=43534
XnView Classic "Even and (or) odd pages" is lost
usefull for happy owners of a double side scanner

Improvements suggestions in ergonomics :
- order and arrange the menu blocks following the same order as the construction steps of the full name of the resulting file,
- as the user types each item, display an example of what the resulting folder, subfolder, and file names will be.
