Re: new version, please test

Just a little typo I think:

On the wiki it says:

"... focr_tmp_path - String determining the absolute path to a directory where the plugin may write temporary files to (without trailing slash) focr_verbosity -
Verbose level (0 - 2). ..."

As far as I found out it should be "focr_verbose" and not "focr_verbosity". In the example config file it is written correctly...

Hi Chris

Wanted to report back: works like a charm here, thanks for the png 
support - got one today with 23 hits :)

Now I just have to figure out why I get so poor results on colourful 
images with gocr...

thanks for your work!!

Matt
