I was starting to have problems using image capture.
A few days ago, the scanned images were suddenly save in my pictures folder insread of the folder on the desk top I had specified
Restarting the Mac didn't help
Now the scans using Image Capture are suddenly blurry - they are still fine if I use the Epson Scan software.
So when I googled to see what to do about the blurry scans with Image capture, the suggestion was made to trash the Image Capture preference file in the user library.
Sounded good to me....except somehow the user library has disappeared.
And when I checked the system library, there was no Image Capture preference file although there was a system library folder.
I think the best option now is to reinstall ElCapitan either from the USB installer I have made a while back or using restore.
Any preference there?
But when I check the files and folders in my user account, there are files and folders in there that I don't think should be there.
Attached is a screen shot of the hard drive user folder from a 2015 back up (on the left) and the current 2019 one on the right
Should all these folders on the right be there? Like Pando Packages, RightFont, SoftMaker, Ultimate USB Specs, test.txt?
Sort of a mystery to me how Image Capture even works t all with no preference files, at least not one I can find.
Tried FAF, found nothing
