•Export Business Card data automatically
The recognized record is added to the database of CardMinder, and, at the same time, Card-
Minder is associated with another application to which records are exported. The wrong
names of persons or companies can be accidentally stored in your database. Therefore, this
setting is not recommended unless you check that the added records are correct.
On the Main window, by selecting [File] on the menu bar and [Export to] from the [File]
menu, you can see which application is associated with CardMinder on the submenu. The
currently selected application is marked with a check.
CardMinder Viewer
•Hot key
You use the hot key when performing automatic search with a keyword selected. To set a
hot key, on your keyboard, press the key that you want to use as the hot key.
You can designate the key from [A] to [Z], [0] to [9], and [F2] to [F12]. Also, such keys as
[Ctrl], [Shift], and [Alt] have to be followed by those keys.
Do not use the combinations of hot keys that are used for Windows as standard, such as [Alt]
+ [F4].
For example, the following combinations can be used:
[Ctrl]+[0], [Shift]+[Alt]+[A], [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt]+[F2]
The combinations below and similar cannot be set as the hot key.
[9]+[F12], [Ctrl]+[Shift]
•Action
The [Show image window when the card is not found] checkbox is marked by default. As
long as it is marked, the CardMinder Viewer window becomes active even if there is no
matching record. In such case, no business card image is shown, but you can continue
searching by entering another keyword in the [Search Text] box.
With the checkbox cleared, the CardMinder Viewer window will not be displayed when
there is no matching result.
Database
•Database file
The database file folder (Full path) of CardMinder can be specified in this field.
Click the [Browse] button, and specify a folder to save data in the "Browse for Folder" win-
dow.
By default, CardMinder saves data to the C: drive. The default folder is the following:
When the operating system is Windows XP or Windows 2000
C:\Documents and Settings\<- Log-in User name->\Application Data\PFU\Card-
Minder\ENTRY\ENTRYDB.BID
<- Log-in User name-> is defined according to the current user.
When the operating system is Windows Vista
C:\Users\<- Log-in User name>\AppData\Roaming\PFU\CardMinder\ENTRY\
ENTRYDB.BID
<- Log-in User name-> is defined according to the current user.
You do not have to change the folder to save the database under normal circumstances.
However, if there is not enough space in the C: drive, change the path to save the data in
another drive.
