Hello,
to my knowledge, there is no SANE API feature that explicitly handle
this
case. I think it has to be added to the areas where the API could be improved.
The only way I know to get around that within the current framework, is
to
create an SANE_Option for this feature of the backend and let frontends
querying it. It is how button handling is done, and you'll meet the same
problems and limitations.
