Nuance (Scansoft) Paperport

What works

App installs; wineboot is needed for "Restart Windows" issue.

Starts and runs GUI with main menu and functions.

Navigation of the folders and file systems works.Import works so you can collect image files from directories.

Image selection and display works.

EXPORT WORKS. File conversion routines work for PNG, TIFF (6 kinds), JPG and probably others.

YOU CAN USE THE APP TO EXPORT ITS PROPRIETARY IMAGE FORMAT TO STANDARD FORMATS!!!

 Exits cleanly.

What does not

Image/Property function doesn't do anything. Some other submenu functions also don't work.

I believe it's limited to early Windows naming directory naming conventions - you may need to rename directories if they don't appear in the navigation tree.

It will import complete directory trees perfectly, but the export dialog only descends about 8 levels. If you need to export to dirs below that you will need to export to an "upper" dir and move the files to where you want them later.

Workarounds

What was not tested

I needed this app to convert its proprietary image files to standard formats and did not test anything not used to accomplish this function.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

This is an excellent graphics organizer but there are others in linux which will serve as well. Fortunately the app runs perfectly for recovering (converting) apps stored in its proprietary format.
