How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello barbarossa,
Great question!  You can change all these settings through the My Image Garden software.  The exact procedure will vary depending on the version of Windows you are using.
If you are having any difficulty locating this software, feel free to visit the link below to let us know your operating system and we can follow-up with step-by-step directions.  Thanks!

  • How do I set the folder to which temporary files are saved?

    As of now, whenever I click "Open with..." when downloading a file, a copy of that file saves to my desktop and never gets cleared. I'd like to set the temporary folder so I can manually clear it periodically, but the only file management option I seem to have is to set downloads to always save in a certain folder--which does not appear to include "temporary" files. How can I change the destination folder for temporary downloads? And why does Firefox download and save the files before opening them? I don't want to save every PDF I read online, yet this seems to be the default setting in order to open files.

    You probably need to set that temp folder in the Safari Preferences to set them for other programs.
    Safari > Preferences > General > Save Dowloaded Files To
    You can also set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true on the about:config page.

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

  • How do I change the folder in which Mail saves sent e-mails (On my Mac)?

    If I send an e-mail from my iPad, te e-mail is saved in "sent items". However, if I send an e-mail from my Mac, with mail, the e-mail is saved in another folder: "Sent Messages".
    I know I can easily change the folder in which the iPad saves sent e-mails, but I would like to change this setting on my Mac, so that the Mac saves sent e-mails exactely where the iPad saves snet e-mails.
    Is it possible to change this setting on the Mac?

    Bryan.O wrote:

    There might. (Stress, might.)
    Quit Mail.
    Make a backup of <~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist>.
    Open it with a suitable text editor (eg, TextWrangler), or plist editor (eg, Xcode, Pref Setter).
    Look for the key "SentMessagesMailboxName". Replace the string "Sent Messages" with what you want.
    Repeat for every such key. Save.
    Launch Mail. Test. If anything goes wrong, replace com.apple.mail.plist with the backup.
    Warning: I have not tested this myself, so I don't know if it works and/or if it causes any problems.

  • How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

    I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9.  Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order.  How can I change the date format to year/month/day?  Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time!  Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. System information:
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Service pack : Service Pack 3
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
    Max. clock speed: 1.86
    Manufacturer: IBM
    Model: 1847W76
    System language setting: English (United States)
    User language setting: English (United States) 

    I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
    if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
     print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
     print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
     exit;
    $mydir = $ARGV[0];
    chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
    opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
    @allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
     if ( -d $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a directory";
      if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
       print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
       $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
       print "$newname\n";
       rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
      else {
       print " but is not of the proper format\n"
     elsif ( -f $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a file\n";
     else {
      print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
    }

  • How does one change the login screen background

    I have changed my desktop background picture few weeks ago with a picture I took. recently I have changed it again to one of the default pictures in OS Yosemite.

  • How does one change the dictionary default from Portuguese to English?

    In one of the upgrades, instead of defaulting to English, my spellchecker instead defaults to Portuguese, which is the first language listed (also have French and Spanish). So every time I open Firefox, I have to change back to English.

    I've had this problem for over a year. I have three dictionaries installed, but when opening a text box i.e. on a web page where text may be entered e.g. to create email or fill a form on line, 90+% of the words are red-wavy underlined because the dictionary in use is not my native language, but one I may occasionally try to use when I must...which is rarely.
    Firefox NEEDS to have a setting for the Default Spell-Check Language, and it doesn't have one.
    Unfortunately, I stopped coding some thirty years ago, and would love to do the fix, but I've simply been ignorant too long and must beg this of the fine developer crew out there.

    If you did not own the .plist this info is kept in there might be issues but I cannot say I have seen them before.

  • How do I change the defalt localion that my photos are saved it.

    Lightroom is saving all my photos in the wrong folder from that I want and I can not find for the life of me where to change that in LightRoom 4?

    Thanks so much!

    In the Import Dialog on the right side is the <Destination panel>. It is only visible if you select the option <Move> or <Copy> at the top center of the Import Dialog; if you select <Add> it is not visible.
    In the <Destination panel> you select a folder where you want the imported images to go.
    If you have photos in the "wrong folder" do this: In the Grid View click on the "wrong folder" so that it is highlighted. Then select all the image sthat you don't want in this folder.
    You select multiple images by clicking the first one and then Ctrl / Cmd + click the others one by one (or Shift + click the last one - that will select all images between the first and the last).
    After you have selected all the images just drag-and-drop them onto the "right folder".
    Since you are new to Lr, I recommend that you watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. They're excellent.

    And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?

  • Safari on Windows. How does one change default spelling dictionary?

    How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.
    In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7
    Message was edited by: Grant Wray

    I think I just found the answer (though I don't know why the interface is buried this way). Find a word that the American spell check is flagging, right click on it, select Spelling and Grammar, and then select Show Spelling and Grammar. Make sure that the language listed at the bottom says British English (not my choice of what to call it, so please don't blame the messenger).
