ScanHelper: route scan output to the desired application

Scott Gruby has written a small application to allow OS X users to quickly swap which application should be used for scanning. I'm guessing it looks to the software that controls the scanner like a client application that accepts scans, but it's really a router to a scanning application:
ScanHelper is a small application that places a menu in the menubar that lets you select which application should be used for scanning. Simply tell the ScanSnap Manager to use ScanHelper and then ScanHelper routes the scans to the selected application. You can now easily select a destination right from the menubar. I’m releasing this as free software, but if you like it, please buy my ReceiptWallet application.
This sounds clever! I'm going to try it. Gruby suggests you buy his ReceiptWallet product if you like it.
