Hi,
On Mac you can use scanline https://github.com/klep/scanline
<https://github.com/klep/scanline>
It is a cli util so with some launch external process calls you can drive it
i.e.
To get the list of available scanners
$command:="/usr/local/bin/scanline -list -browsesecs 1 "
$std_in:=""
$std_out:=""
$error:=""
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($command;$std_in;$std_out;$error)
To actually do a scan
//vSCANDOCS_scanner is the name of the scanner found with the -browsesecs option
$command:="/usr/local/bin/scanline -scanner \""+vSCANDOCS_scanner
$command:=$command+"\" -a4 -flatbed -dir \""+Convert path system to
POSIX($folder)+"\" -name "+$filename_for_scan
$std_in:=""
$std_out:=""
$error:=""
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($command;$std_in;$std_out;$error)
So far I’ve been using it up to OS X 10.14, I’m in the process of testing it on
Catalina, we’ll see
