Dragging-and-dropping to the desktop or a folder

Scanned images you drag-and-drop to the desktop or a folder become a Scrapbook picture clipping file. The bitmap file is given a generic name such as “picture clipping.” Subsequent images scanned to the desktop or that folder are numbered sequentially.
