Hello,
I have to do a simple task: to save an image which i obtain from a scan using a pluguin.
I got the image but i couldnt save it
i use the code as follows but i couldnt solve my problem:

var srcArray = plugins.scannerPro.GetTwainSources()
var scanObject = plugins.scannerPro.QuickScan(‘license_key’,srcArray[0],‘jpg’);

var image = plugins.images.getImage(scanObject);
var tempFile = plugins.file.createFile(‘fotoreceta’,‘.jpg’)
plugins.file.writeFile(tempFile, image)
var ok = plugins.file.copyFile(tempFile,‘O:\Recetas’)

‘O:\Recetas’ is the path where i want to save the image.

Thanks for your help

why are you using a temp file and then copy it?
why not directly create the output file you want?

edit also use the forward slash: / instead of backward \ in file paths.

Problem solved:

var f = plugins.file.createFile(nombre)
if (!plugins.file.writeFile(f, scanObject))
application.output(‘Failed to write the file.’)
var path = ‘o:/Recetas/’ + nombre
var ok = plugins.file.copyFile(f,path)

thank you

you’re still writing it twice…

Thank you again.

var scanObject = plugins.scannerPro.QuickScan(‘license_key’,srcArray[0],‘jpg’);
var f = plugins.file.createFile(path);
if (!plugins.file.writeFile(f, scanObject))
application.output(‘Failed to write the file.’);
