124. How to move the EzeScan DESKTOP TEMP processing folder

Applies to: EzeScan 4.3.2 and above.

By default, EzeScan DESKTOP will use the temp path defined in the user %TEMP% environment variable. e.g. C:\users\username\Appdata\Local\Temp

If there is a requirement to move temporary files to another location eg. whitelisting for a security program such as Airlock, please follow these instructions.

📘 Instructions

  1. Copy the override.ini file located in "<<System program path>>\Outback Imaging\EzeScan\Resources" to your desktop or another folder.

  2. Open it in a notepad editor.

  3. In the startup section, add the following switch to the CommandLine. -Tempfolder "C:\your temp folder path"

    An example could also be something like:
    [Startup]
    CommandLine= -Tempfolder "%USERPROFILE%\EzeTemp"

  4. Save and close the file

  5. Copy into the program folder where the EzeScan.exe and dlls resides eg. C:\Program Files\Outback Imaging\EzeScan (64bit) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Outback Imaging\EzeScan (32bit)

  6. Admin credentials may be prompted to store in this location

  7. Restart EzeScan DESKTOP


EzeScan DESKTOP will create files / folders under this alternate path during temporary image processing eg. building a PDF file stream for searchable PDF output. When temporary files are no longer required after job/route processing they are deleted automatically

The folder path can now be added as an exception or whitelist
