Question about Canon LiDE 400 CanoScan

1 year ago

Can someone tell me how I can switch off the date that appears in the file name of the Canon CanonScan LiDE 400 with every scan. Have I not ticked the box "Save in subfolder with current date"?

Hi, it depends on which controller you use to operate the device. I assume you are using the Canon "CanoScan Utility" software supplied. I have ticked the box you mentioned. In my Windows folder "Pictures", the subfolder mentioned is then automatically created for each scan for the respective day, e.g. with the name "2025_11_13", and the images are then stored in it with the name according to the selectable setting, in my case "IMG". If I make several scans on the same day, then they are in the "day folder" and have the names e.g. IMG_0001.pdf, IMG_0002.pdf etc.. You can then rename these files as you wish. - The current date is given to the subfolder, not to the file. - I find this categorisation great, so I can easily find my way around my collection of more than 800 scans (since 2011).

Your data. Your choice.
