What's new in TwainSave 2.0.0.3
May 13, 2016
- TwainSave is now Unicode aware. You can now use Unicode strings within any of the TwainSave command-line options (if the command-line option accepts strings). For example, -filename (which sets the name of the file to save the image) can be a Unicode name.
- Added -halftone to allow the setting of a halftone dithering algorithm. The device must support halftoning.
- Added -uionly to allow the display of the device's user interface for non-scanning purposes.
- For -uionly, the user can make changes to the scanner's settings without scanning images.
- Fixed -help command to work when TwainSave is running with a console window.
- Fixed issue with retrieving device capabilities represented as strings. In some rare cases, the strings returned were not null-terminated, now TwainSave ensures the strings returned are null terminated.
- When issuing a bad command line to TwainSave, the usage information will be displayed in a console window in console mode, or in a dialog box if -noconsole is specified.
- Starting with this version, TwainSave will use the longer command names within any TwainSave documentation or examples (for example: -resolution instead of -R). The shorter command names still exist, but are now considered deprecated.
New in TwainSave 2.0.0.2 (May 13, 2016)
- Added -deskew, -overscan, and -autorotate options to allow for deskewing and document correction functionality. Please note that this means your device must support these options for these new commands to take effect.
New in TwainSave 2.0.0.1 (May 13, 2016)
- Changed -area option to use the device's area acquisition capabilities. Please note that this means that your device must support setting the area of acquisition, as well as the unit of measure used (inch, centimeter, etc.).
- The -details now outputs the device's supported units of measure (see the "Device_Measure_Unit_Info" setting in the details file.
New in TwainSave 2.0.0.0 (May 13, 2016)
- Enhanced the -F option (image file type) to acquire image files using the TWAIN device's internal set of file formats. For example, if TwainSave discovers that a device supports EXIF format, TwainSave will be able to acquire files using the EXIF format.
- For more information, the TwainSave help manual has updated the -F option to explain how to use the additional mode to acquire files.
- Invalid command-line options now output usage to console if -noconsole is not specified.
New in TwainSave 1.9.0.0 (May 13, 2016)
- Added -overwritemode and -overwritemax options to control how TwainSave handles image files that already exist.
- Previously, TwainSave always attempted to overwrite existing files without warning. Using the -overwritemode and -overwritemax options, the user can now control the behavior of TwainSave (always overwrite, never overwrite, create a new file based on an incrementing file number).
- Details of these new options are in the current TwainSave help manual.
New in TwainSave 1.8.0.11 (May 13, 2016)
- Added -pdfownerpass option to allow setting the owner password for PDF files to a random string.

New in TwainSave 1.8.0.0 (May 13, 2016)
- Due to issues with Citrix and Terminal Services, TwainSave is now *not* Terminal Server aware.
- This means that applications that want to run TwainSave on Terminal Server must copy the TWAIN DSM file (TWAIN_32.DLL or TWAINDSM.DLL) to the user's local Windows directory.
- TwainSave now uses modeless TWAIN loop processing, similar to TWAIN GUI applications.
- This provides more stability for Data Sources and TWAIN drivers that require the application's main message queue to process TWAIN messages.
- Added -usedsm2 option to use TWAINDSM.DLL instead of TWAIN_32.DLL as the Data Source Manager.
- Added -showindicator option to show the progress indicator when scanning without a user interface.
- By default the progress indicator is turned off when scanning without a user interface (this is only available to Sources that show progress indicators when scanning).
