I have xsane 0.84, and here goes: :-) Feature suggestion: Saving of settings with a given project name; all settings are saved, including the preview settings and the preview image. That is, the preview image and the associated scanarea must be saved. (Project save/load perhaps?)
Feature suggestion: Are the gamma/look-up tables (of some scanners) as wide as the internal precision? If a scanner has greater internal precision but only 8-bit output precision, then I guess the look-up tables could be used for dynamic compression for the 8-bit transfer. The full precision would then be recovered in driver or in application. One would have to scan a preview, compute the look-up tables, and do the final scan with the computed look-up tables. If also enchangements are done, they are also incorporated to the look-up tables. Bug: Gamma etc. settings were autoadjusted after acquiring the preview even I had unchecked "Autoenchange gamma" and "Autocorrect colors" Setup-options. Bug: In "Save" scanning mode, with Type "PNM", with filename "123.pnm", the saved file is named as "123.pnm.pnm" instead of the correct "123.pnm". I would also point out that gqview, a good image viewer, cannot load the pnm files produced by xsane. The following image is show incorrectly as of the size 14x96. P5 # XSane settings: # resolution_x = 200.0 # resolution_y = 200.0 # gamma = 1.00 # brightness = 0.0 # contrast = 0.0 # XSANE data follows 01696 02222 255 Best regards, Juhana
