In this weeks’s @club MacStories Weekly column for members I wrote about the shortcut I’d created that I’ve linked with the fantastic new app Simple Scan, to create better naming of files when saved. The shortcut works with any app that exports many files at the same time.

TIP: Adjusting Crop Area while scanning

Based on some early feedback, this seems to be an overlooked feature. If you manually adjust the crop area in a scan - do NOT use the corners, which look temptingly like handles. Grab along the side of the crop frame, and the corners act as magnification loupes to let you get just the right spot!
