Greetings, I see that there are two SANE programs that do nearly the same thing; scanimage and adfscan. I understand that adfscan was meant for use with document feeders, but I've found scanimage to be better suited because of the versatility it provides with the --batch* features. As such, I've found myself adding the adfscan features that are missing in scanimage to scanimage for my own personal use.
I've created some patches for scanimage that add the --scan-script feature from adfscan, a new batch-interactive feature that allows you to handle errors and continue scanning (like if there is a paper jam, or your adf doesn't hold as many pages as you want included in a batch job), as well as having a feature to reverse the increment for doing double sided jobs (front sides first, then back sides). Is there someone I can send these patches to who can look them over, and if appropriate, include them in the cvs tree? It would seem that after these patches, there are only about 2 features keeping scanimage from being fully compatible with adfscan. Is there a reason to have two seperate programs that do nearly the same thing in the SANE sources? (Just curious...) Thanks, Jonathan PS: you can't imagine how pleased I was to find that SANE supports my new hpg85. Thanks!
