Hi, How about setting the default based on LANG or LC_PAPER environment vars? Or provide an option to do so? The same is done for printing systems, isn't it? Regards, Simon > Frankly, your front-end program should save your preferences for > things like page size, so you only set them once. I

Frankly, your front-end program should save your preferences for things like page size, so you only set them once. I was pretty sure that xsane did so. For a front-end that does not, we could change sane-backends defaults on a per-backend basis, I suppose. I the backends I wrote (which includes

[sane-devel] FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 - default page format?

2017-03-06 Thread Philipp Huebner
Hi, I have a FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 that works quite well for the most part. One problem though: the default page format is "automatic", which fails to detect the righgt format rather often and cuts off parts of the pages. When I set it to the correct size manually (e.g. A4), it works fine.
