Hi! Thanks for (x)sane, I like them very much, although I have only recently started using them.
However, I would prefer to write little wrapper script that could wait for a button to be pressed, and then automatically do what "preview" and "scan" does in xsane (in "save"-mode). Pressing Alt-P, wait and then press Ctrl-enter is good, but it could be enhanced even more. I have looked into the manpage of scanimage, but I don't see the functionality of "preview" (with "autoenhance gamma", "preselect scanarea" and "autocorrect colors" all set) in xsane there. The --preview=yes does not seem to automatically enhance the gamma value, nor automatically select the proper region to be scanned (I use a Transparency unit). Is scanimage the right tool for this? Or could I configure xsane to "preview" and then "scan" automatically, thus saving that keystrokes and the time it takes to wait for the preview? I use xsane 0.97 (in ubuntu breezy) and libsane 1.0.17 (from ubuntu dapper).

Try the Permissive policy instead. When test driving iscan-2.0.0 on FC5 this worked around problems with sane-dll not being to able to load iscan's epkowa backend (where all backends from the sane-backends package were loaded fine).

I use SELinux in enable, and in enforcing mode, but after that I switch to permissive and then I reboot, but not work, it stil same problem, and then I switch the SELinux to disable now, and then reboot again, and then I still get the same problem, the problem is /usr/bin/./xsane can detect the scanner sm3600 but not the /usr/local/bin/./xsane , is it so weird ? I already check /etc/sane.d/dll.conf with sm3600 inside, and then the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf also has sm3600 in it but sane-find-scanner cannot find any of it , and also scanimage -L has same problem, cannot fount out any device ? I think I try to re-install fc5 again. to see what happend in here, but sorry I need to ask you this about fc5 problem, do you ever try to add /remove application in fc5 ? it seems weird too, I cannot add or remove my application, everytime I use the add/remove program, it will search information and very long time to take and then it said failed, and then exit the program ? haha.. I don't know if fc5 has not stable yet or what. Sofian --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
