Hello!
I wanted to ask if it’s possible to write service/desktop application, that will get actual scanned document file path, so that the file can be moved to another directory or just inserted to pdf document automatically, after scanning is completed. Would that be possible, because I researched a lot about STI, WIA and I can’t find a way of doing that.
Best Regards,
Daniel.This isn’t a TWAIN question. The final destination of scanned images is 100% under the control of the application, the TWAIN drivers don’t get a say in the matter. This is true for WIA as well.
You need to work with the application to determine what folders are being used. Once you have that info it’s possible to monitor for files being written to folders, though I have to point out that you won’t have any way of knowing when an application is done with a particular image file.
Dan, you can check the Modes Available for Data Transfer section in the TWAIN specification. Scanned images can be transferred in 3 modes: native (DIB, etc.) disk file, and memory. You can set the “actual file path” based on your needs.
