SF_Launcher: Choose Plug-In Folder

SymptomSymptom:
The SF_Launcher doesn't start SilverFast, only the "Choose plug-in folder" is displayed.

ProblemProblem:
You are using a SilverFast version prior 6.5.5 with an SF_Launcher version 2.x.
There are some instances, where earlier versions of the SF_Launcher "doesn't know" where the SilverFast plug-ins it can start reside.

SolutionSolution:
You need to point the SF_Launcher to the right folder.

Start-up the the SF_Launcher.

Because the SF_Launcher doesn't "know" first where to find the SilverFast Photoshop plug-in, you need to point it to the appropriate folder. Actually choose "Choose plug-in folder..." from the drop-down menu.

A new window will open and you navigate to:

on a Windows system:
/Program files/SilverFast application
or
/Program files/Lasersoft
or
/Program files/Adobe/Photoshop [Version]/Plug-ins/Import-Export/
or
/Program files/Adobe/Photoshop [Version]/Plug-ins/Import-Export/SilverFast [Scanner]

on a Mac OS X computer:
/Applications/SilverFast application or
/Applications/Photoshop [Version]/Plug-ins/Import-Export/
or
/Applications/Photoshop [Version]/Plug-ins/Import-Export/SilverFast [Scanner]

The point of this all is to show the SF_Launcher the path to the SilverFast Photoshop plug-in folder. You can identify a Photoshop plug-in by its icon and/or the extension (.8ba).

After you confirmed the correct folder, you shall find your SilverFast version appearing as an option in the SF_Launcher's start plug-in drop- down menu.
