    A few observations from a new customer

    Hi.

     I just setup my new scanner and the 4.7.7 release of the software and started scanning a pile of receipts/invoices. Here are a few observations/wishes:

     Review + File Receipt
      Doubleclicking in the preview pane should toggle zoom (fit pane width?)
      There should also be an option in the preferences: Preview: Zoom to fit height | zoom to fit width


    Scanning/OCR
      The OCR routine should support more data separators dd/mm/yyyy works, dd.mm.yyyy does not seem to work
      Credit cards that end with ###-# instead of #### should be supported

    Scanner
      A document helper with an A4-sized slot for the desk scanner for european invoices should be available

    Inbox
      Support for larger thumbnails, it may be difficult to see what the item is about, especially if the software does not recognize the vendor
      Sort by vendor, date, width, height
      Multiple inboxes?
      - if scanning different batches at once to get rid of the paper then reviewing later
      - this would also help avoiding the "max 300 items can be displayed"-issue
      The "max 300 items can be displayed" is ridiculous. I certainly see the memory issue of displaying that many pictures, but there should be a "view next 300" or something. I now have 452 items in my inbox so I have to go through at least 153 of them to Review a new scan!?
      Right click an/many item(s) -> reprocess. This would add vendor name, etc, if new data was added to the repository since the last time the image(s) was/were processed
      Free text search to find items
      If you review+file an item, the view scrolls up to the top when you File Now -> Close. The view should stay where it was when you entered the review+file dialog.

    Receipts/Business cards/Documents
      Right click an item -> edit. This would bring up the same dialog as the one you get in Inbox. It's more intuitive that way (well to me it is ;-)

    Integration

      There should be com+ interfaces so data and metadata can be shared with other applications

    Image adjuster

      Should support zooming

    The Sales tax and Amount fields should accept calculations in the input

    Eg. if you type 25+11 in a field, the value will be 36 when you exit the field.

    This would be a great feature when there are different tax rates on the same receipt

    It would be neat if when tax and amount were entered, the form would show the tax percentage
