First of all, sorry if this really isn't the area of the forums to post this. Let me know if it isn't and I'll put it somewhere else. Thanks.
I used IrfanView for batch scanning for a long while. I wasn't the one who chose or installed the software, but it served perfectly for the task at hand.
Now I have to use it again, but on another computer. Upon installing it there (same version *and* with the very same installer executables for both main software and the plugins pack, presumably) and going through the first dialog box of Batch Scanning (where you define location and name of output files), I get a different interface with less features.
Here I show a capture of the screen I used to get on the first computer, followed by the screen I get now.
Not only does the latter have options I totally need, but also for some reason, that original installing would make the scanner go a lot faster (it would scan in a pretty continuous manner). Now it takes like 10 times more for each page (takes its sweet time with each paper, the sliding scanner part moving back and forth an unnecesary lot).
Considering I'm to scan dozens of thousands of pages, the difference is overwhelming.
The only difference I could really trace between both installs is in what plugins they have. Thus, I'm wondering if someone here could point me to where to get whatever plug-in gives me the better interface, options and speed. If you can think of any other possibilities, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on that.
To make things more straightforward, I'll list the whole 48 plugins that the original install had. It's version 3.96 of IrfanView, yet it still has 6 more plug-ins that the 4.00 that I installed most recently when installing 3.96 again over and over (with all plugins presented in the official website, as the original install apparently had as well) wouldn't solve it.
Thanks for your time and help!
