- Added wait parameter for ImageCapture.CloseDevice, ImageCapture.OpenDevice, ImageCapture.RequestDeleteFiles, ImageCapture.requestOverviewScan, ImageCapture.requestScan and ImageCapture.requestSelectFunctionalUnit functions.
- Changed ImageCapture.OpenDevice to wait for ready signal of device, so your scripts do not continue before we know all details of device.
