You can permanently keep any scan and besides that, it will automatically keep the last x scans you made. (first in, first out)

This demo needs to be able to open and save text documents and of course it needs the splash screen aproach. It needs menus, preferences and all the new text and paragraph features fully working,

It's also very usefull to just look up how the menuPick message is handled for instance, or any other message that's used in this or other demo of course.
