what about the possiblity of adding a named option and give the exif data in a read-only text string? the only problem i see with that is that the value of this option would only be valid _after_ the page has been scanned (ie- the length of an adf scan may not be known before scanning) what parts of exif cannot be extracted from existing sane options? allan > What is the status of SANE-2 implementation? > > Thanks, > Giuseppe > > > -- "so don't tell us it can't be done, putting down what you don't know. money isn't our god, integrity will free our souls" - Max Cavalera
