I don't pine for fancy UI gewgaws either -- hell, I'd probably be entirely happy with a mostly command-line scanning infrastructure. The one thing I'd love to see corrected is that in my admittedly limited tenure with Vuescan, I haven't yet seen an error message. I've seen things not work, I've seen things like the device menu sometimes not having entries, and I haven't known what to do except to apply common-sense guesswork and trial and error until whatever condition is peeving the program (could be a missing subdirectory, could be bad permissions, could be an un-loaded SCSI driver) allows it to function. I'd love some clues to point me vaguely in the direction I need to be looking in. Maybe this is a special feature of the Linux version, though -- I haven't tried the others. Makes lovely scans, though (and I don't think I'd be making *any* scans on Linux without it) once you propitiate it.
