How to not get prompted for a filename when scanning...

DEVONthink Scenarios

I’ve been using DTPO for a while now (paid too)… Anyway, one thing I find annoying is that when I’m scanning a bunch of docs, each doc is scanned via my Scansnap S1300 and put in the queue… DTPO then OCR’s each one and then prompts me for a filename… It’s a pain to always be prompted for a filename – I don’t mind changing names later but when I’m feeding docs in I don’t want to have to do it at that point… Is there a way to change it so it’ll use the default auto-generated name it came up with and move on? I looked thru all of the settings but nothing jumped out at me…

The reason I’m asking is that I’ve heard other users do not get prompted… Am I off-base here?

See DEVONthink Pro Office Preferences > OCR. Uncheck the option to enter metadata after text recognition. I agree with you. I don’t want a queue of scans to be OCRed to stop and wait for me to respond, after each document has been scanned.
