One of the keys to effective software design is to make the common
cases easy and the uncommon cases possible. In the rare case
where someone gets stuck with a mixed batch of slides to scan,
they'd have waste an extra mouse action per slide. That's a case
where they'd quickly learn what the hotkey was for the Preferences...
dialog.

But the more typical case is working through a batch of a couple
of dozen pictures using the same settings. I'd much prefer to have
VueScan optimized for that situation. Anyone else?
