Ok, I see from archlinux scanbd wiki that there are some things I need to do. I think then that when scanbd gets a word "scan" from the scanner that it calls a script which can just contain "scanimage >image.pgm" Suppose I could have in there get a number "i" from a file and add one to it and save that back to the file and have scanimage >$i.pgm in order to get sequential numbering unless there is some already configured way to do that? mick -- Key ID4BFEBB31
