EZTwainX File Methods
These are the methods offered by the File child object of the EZTwainX control. In most languages if the EZTwainX control is called eztwain, you call these methods by writing something like this:
eztwain.File.Rename("temp.tif", "document.tif")

• The file operations only work on files with a recognized image-file extension: BMP, DCX, GIF, JPG, JPEG, MPT, PDF, PNG, TIF, TIFF.
• Any filename which is not fully qualified is interpreted relative to the WorkingDirectory.
For example, if eztwain.File.WorkingDirectory is "c:\TEMP" and you call eztwain.File.Copy("a.tif", "b.tif") this will be interpreted as eztwain.File.Copy("c:\TEMP\a.tif", "c:\TEMP\b.tif")• In Javascript as in C and C++, remember to double the backslashes: "C:\\foo.pdf" - A single backslash just quotes the following character.
