NEWS: ProScan Version 1.5 Released on 1-26-2007

New in this version:

  • ProScan 1.5 is now compatible with ProImage 1.6
    (it is NOT compatible with older versions of ProImage). 
     
  • Clarion 5.5 Compatibility - ProScan is now compatible with Clarion 5.5H and all Clarion 6.x versions. New installers support all of these versions.
     
  • Complete documentation update. The developer and end user documentation have both been updated to reflect the new version.
     
  • ProImage Compatibility completed - ProScan 1.5 is now compatible with ProImage 1.6. Existing users can add a ProImage call button to their scan manager windows and enable the ProScan/ProImage Data Bridge on the call button template (and the corresponding entry on the ProScan control panel template). 
     
  • New Move Page "Shuffle" Feature - a new "Shuffle" button has been added that allows you to change the sequence of pages by moving them forwards or backwards in the TIFF file. This feature is accessed from an icon on the ProScan toolbar. See docs for details on compression and DPI. 
     
  • Custom Compression For Profiles - Added the ability to save custom compression settings for each Scanner profile. If you change the compression on the scanner profile, then that compression setting is used instead of the Program Default value. This makes it possible to create multiple profiles from the same scanner that use different compression levels (such as one for Color Photo scans, another using GROUP4 Compression for B&W scans). 
     
  • TIFF Navigator Templates - Added TIFF Navigator templates that can be used to let the user "page" through the images of a TIFF when displayed on a Viewer control on a Browse or Form. There is also a new option box on the ProScan link button template to refresh the TIFF Navigator after the Scan Manager exits.
     
  • Migration to .CCL format - Most of the "working code" from the ProScan procedures was moved into a .CCL (Clarion Code Library) include file located in the 3rdparty\libsrc folder. This code is INCLUDED into the procedures by the templates and should allow updates of your working code after version 1.5 without any major effort that would affect your window customization. The name of the ProScan .CCL file is: PS_ProScan.ccl
     
  • Templates Renamed - in order to keep consistent with the other ProSeries tools such as ProImage, the following files were renamed with a ps_ prefix: 

    PScanABC.tpl   - renamed to ps_proscanABC.tpl
    PScanLeg.tpl   - renamed to ps_proscanleg.tpl
    PSUtils.tpl  - renamed to ps_PSUtils.tpl
    PSUtils.tpw  - renamed to ps_PSUtils.tpw

    Old templates can be removed from your system if the installer does not remove them when you uninstall version 1.3 (before installing version 1.5). Note: Be sure to manually unregister both the ABC and Legacy ProScan 1.3 templates as well as the old ProSeries utility templates BEFORE you install version 1.5.
     
  • ProScan 1.3 Compatibility Mode added - a special flag was added to the ProScan extension templates for the Scan Manager and the Scanner setup to enable ProScan 1.3 compatibility. After installing the new templates, all you need to do is check the box on the templates and the code that generates the INCLUDE statements for the code in the .CCL files will NOT be generated. This will not add any of the new functions to your existing ProScan applications, but it will allow you to compile and run them until such time as you decide to migrate the code in them to the new format.
