filmscanners: Need feedback on VueScan Improvements

[EdHamrick@aol.com]

I'm thinking about some improvements to the VueScan
user interface, and I'd like to solicit feedback and suggestions.

These are the main things I'm thinking of - let me know if you
don't like these changes or if you'd like to see things done
differently:

1) Adding a "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" button that will double
(or halve) the size of either the preview or scan images.  While
zoomed, the preview or scan window will have scroll bars.
I'll also remove the "Exit" button to free up some space.

2) Move the Preview and Scan tabs to the left side of the
window and move all the option tabs to the right side of
the window.

3) Reorganize the tabs on the right side to make them
a bit more logical and useful (these suggestions came
from a helpful user):

Scanner tab. This tab would include Scan From, Mode, Auto Scan, Auto Eject, 
Media Type, and Bits Per Pixel from the Device tab; Resolution, Auto Focus, 
Auto Exposure, and Number of Passes from the options tab. 

Color tab. This would include all the items in the current Color tab, plus 
all the items in the Media tab.

Crop tab. This would include all the options from the current Crop tab plus, 
from the Device tab, the Region, Mirror, Rotate, and Frame numbers settings.

Files tab. Everything from the current Files tab, along with Size Reduction, 
Get dpi, and Watermark from the Options tab.

Preferences tab. This would have all the settings from what is now called the 
Window tab.

If you have strong feelings about my doing things differently, please
let me know soon.

Regards,
Ed Hamrick
