SaneScan 1.2
New in 1.2
- Choose PDF, PNG, JPEG or TIFF before exporting. The action is now called Create ("Erstellen") in the window and menu; the keyboard shortcut remains ⌘S.
- PDF and lossless TIFF combine all scanned pages into one file. PNG and JPEG export individual images with numbered file names for multi-page scans.
- OCR is available for PDF. Image exports run natively through macOS ImageIO and need no external image tools.
- The selected export format is remembered between launches. Existing files require confirmation; interrupted replacement restores the originals.
- A pending update can continue after a successful export in any supported format.
Updating
From SaneScan 1.1, choose SaneScan → Check for Updates… ("Nach Updates suchen …") to install this version in the app. Automatic checks also discover the update. Save or export any open scans before the update restarts the app.
For a first installation, download SaneScan-1.2.dmg and drag SaneScan into Applications. Requires macOS 14 or newer on Apple Silicon. Existing Homebrew scanner tools are still required; PDF creation uses ImageMagick and optional OCR uses ocrmypdf.
See the README for setup instructions.
