Vuescan and lock exposure

I've done some further testing with the newest version (8.3.45)
of Vuescan and I *think* I've come up with a procedure to
lock exposures between frames.

1. Select the single frame which will be the basis for the
series.
2. Set batch off and preview, lock exposure, preview, lock
film base, lock color and tweak clipping if necessary.
3. Turn on batch and select frames to be scanned.
4. Do final scans of series.

Changing any parameters while in batch mode only affects
the individual frame being worked on which sort of makes
the lock options meaningless.

I've written to Ed Hamrick and suggested he needs a new
option such as batch-lock to emulate the old behavior.
I haven't gotten a reply, but he is usually quite good at
incorporating new ideas.

If you do much batch scanning the instantaneous previews
and rotations may be of some value to you. Note that he
has also revised the serial numbers so those with pirated
versions won't be able to upgrade.

I have Don in my killfile so I can only infer that he is
being his usual paranoid self. I guess it is a case of
"no good deed goes unpunished".
