LaserSoft Imaging

First off, I'd like to say that Silverfast is the most irritating scanner software I've ever used. Slow, buggy and totally unintuitive. I can't believe I spent so much cash on this thing.

Secondly, can anyone tell me if there is a way to delete ALL image frames with single click. I ask because after clicking on "find image frames", Silverfast just generates random boxes which I must manually delete. Frustrating is the word (to stay polite).

Any hint appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Dear ksah,

you can delete frames by clicking on the trash bin icon displayed in the Preview Window or by pressing delete.
if you want to reset everything you can do this by pressing the shift-key and clicking on the Reset-All button now displayed instead of the options menu.

Kind regards

NO. You cannot delete ALL the frames by clicking on the track icon! Please read my original post again... I want to delete ALL the automatically detected frames with a single click, because they are NOT correct. The automatic frame detection is always inexact. This is why I want to delete ALL the frames. I'm not interested in clicking 20 thousand times to delete 20 thousand inaccurate

I'm NOT interested in resetting Silverfast. It's clunky enough as it is, to have to re-reset every preference the way it was before. Besides the solution you propose doesn't actually work... Shift click on the Garbage bin doesn't do anything other than delete the current image frame. Shift click on the Option button in "General" doesn;t do anything special either. It just brings up the options window.

Please read my original post again. What I want to do is delete all the image frames which are almost always wrong/inaccurate/random/inexact when the automatic frame detection feature is activated, with a single click.

If this isn't possible currently with your software, please release a version with code that does that. It's ridiculous to have to click delete for every single frame. When you load 4 strips of 35mm film on the Epson v700, there are 24 images on the scanner. Which means 24 frames will be wrongly detected by your software.

Hopefully this is clearer. Sigh.
