Thank you for the feed back! Hi David, It took a little getting use to, especially with save automatically overwriting with the old projects name. But I like it in general. Not anywhere as weird as xcuss (x Common unix scanning system), a.k.a, xsane. I posted the follpwing two RFE's: RFE: save overwrite prompt https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789890 RFE: delete, save, new scanner https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789892 Thank you for the help! -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
