The Automatic Method
Suppose that you have performed a scan of a particular image. The resulting scan
file is imported into a desktop publishing application. Now suppose you want to
change the crop of the image. The Nikon Scanner plug-in is then run again. The same
settings that existed when you exited the plug-in are automatically in place. The pre-
view image of the film is still present, as well. This saves you a great deal of time, as the
only operation required is to change the crop. All other settings are identical. Only
under any of the following conditions would there be the need for a new preview scan to
be performed:
• The film was moved inside the scanner since the last preview scan.
• The film was removed from the scanner manually, or electronically ejected.
• The scanner’s power was turned off.
Summary
To automatically save the state:
• Exit the Nikon Scanner plug-in through the
C
ANCEL
or
S
CAN
buttons.
To automatically restore the state:
• Run the application again.
The Set Default Method
One can think of the set default state as a temporary storage location that can be
rapidly accessed. The temporary storage place is in the plug-in preferences file. When
the plug-in is first run, there is no state stored in the preferences file. Rather, the plug-in
uses its factory default state. These factory default settings are resident in the plug-in
itself.
