The checkbox labeled Launch only when I log in should be selected if not, select it. In Step 2, you can enter anything you want (no spaces) for the label. The radio button labeled Run a job at startup should be selected in Step 1 if not, select it. Click on the Assistant icon in the toolbar. The folder /tmp is cleaned out on each restart, so I never have to bother with deleting those files myself anymore.
Now the scanner saves its temp files in /tmp, without the scanner applet even being aware of it. Make sure to name the link exactly the same as the original folder where the temp files are saved (the the last word on the above line will be the name of the link). For the non Terminal-savvy, this is the procedure in Terminal:Ĭd /Users/your_username/Documents/All-in-One Data Folder Then the following solution suddenly occurred to me: I deleted the folder Archive, and replaced it with a symbolic link to the system temp folder. I experimented with shell scripting to automatically clean out that folder periodically, but with less than satisfying results. The temp file can be found in a subfolder of your Home folder (in: ~/Documents » All-in-One Data Folder » Archive, to be precise). I was mighty annoyed by the fact that the scanner leaves a temp file every time you use it. I have an HP All-in-one printer/scanner, but I assume this will be useful for other HP scanner models as well.
