Ahem - I may sound a bit heretic here, but :

Who actually needs that ?

What sense does it make to tune options in the middle of a scan ?

Do you want to produce a fade-effect by sliding the brightness slider
during the scan ? If so, I'd suggest you seek help at either an image
manipulation program or a therapist.

What is wrong about waiting for the scan to complete and then set the new
options ? Do you need the 2 seconds you save ? Or do you want to scan
triangle shaped areas by adjusting the width ?

Sorry, but I do not understand this thread. Someone enlighten me, please !

CU, Andy
