This topic describes the configuration files used for scanning in Perceptive Content.
File directories
By default, Perceptive Content files reside in the inclient directory. When you start Perceptive Content for the first time, it creates copies of its configuration files and several folders in the Windows user profile folder found at the C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Perceptive Content directories, where <user name> is a placeholder for an individual Windows user account. The Perceptive Content computer may contain a number of these folders. For each Windows user account that logs in to a computer, Perceptive Content downloads its files from theinclient directory to the appropriate Windows user profile folder, described above, on the same computer.
To access a profile folder that is different from the folder for the currently logged-in user, replace <user name> with the actual user name. If you replace <user name> in this path with %userprofile% and copy the path to the Address box of Windows Explorer, Windows automatically opens the user profile folder of the current Windows user account.
When you make changes to capture profiles, scanning profiles, or configuration settings, Perceptive Content only saves the changes for the logged-in Windows user account. These changes are not copied to other Windows user accounts. You can select and maintain different settings for each Windows user on the same computer.
The CaptureNow license for the scanner is stored in the intkinfo.dat file located in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Perceptive Content\etc directory. This file is called the token for that scanner. For a CaptureNow license, the token is the seat that allows all the users of that computer to use a scanner. CaptureNow licenses are hardware specific. When the intkinfo.dat file is created, you can only use it on the specified computer.
File creation
Perceptive Content creates the indevice.xml and inscan.xml configuration files when you set up capture or scanning profiles. These files reside in the Windows users profile folder. After you create your scanning and capture profiles, you can use the same profiles on another computer or allow other users on the same computer to use the profiles with their own Windows user accounts.
- indevice.xml
- Contains all scanner settings, including the scanner name and basic configuration settings. The indevice.xml file only exists if a scanner is configured for the workstation.
- inscan.xml
- Contains all capture profile and scanning profile settings.
