What i wish would happen with this method is for the trash to go away, that is, you don't need that tiff file for anything else than to get a text one time, so i would like for that tiff file to automagically get deleted after having been used, rather as if it was a temporary file. This doesn't happen which leads to the folder with tiff files getting bigger and bigger. That's why i don't use Vuescan for anything but instead use Abbyy Finereaders built-in scanning capability, it reduces the trash significantly. /Krister
